Ishmael Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Reported that we (WBA) are interested in Danny Simpson, what is your honest opinion on him? Can't cross, can't run, can't pass, can't dribble, can't do throw-ins and backs off. Can hold his position and shut his wing down when the team is defending as a unit. Competent defender, awful with the ball. Look for: long, slow, looping crosses going out for a goal kick or into the 'keeper's gloves; chipping the ball 20 yards forward when faced with a modicum of pressure anywhere on the pitch - I mean anywhere, which includes in the final third; waving his arms a lot, blaming others for everything; an arrogant personality and a complete lack of ability to do anything with the ball, full stop.

Ishmael Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 If I was an EPL manager I wouldn't go near Danny Simpson as either a starter or a back-up. Maybe as a last, last, last resort - maybe. He's just so bad in possession. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedudeabides Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Reported that we (WBA) are interested in Danny Simpson, what is your honest opinion on him? Gets a lot of shit from some of our mongs but he's a better defender than Santon or Debuchy (thus far). Pretty limited on the ball mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaus Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Pretty much the same as what has been already said. Hes a decent enough defender but offers little on the ball. He also panics when put under any kind of pressure and hoofs the ball forward, plus if your team is under pressure he is shit scared of the ball and shouts at team mates when he gets passed to .

Disco Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Better than Billy Jones, for a free it's a good squad addition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Better than Billy Jones, for a free it's a good squad addition. This. By no means a world beater but certainly not the player too many on here make out either. Decent mid table PL fullback. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smal Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 He's pretty poor. Definitely not good enough for West Brom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Re: Simpson, also look for many last ditch goal line clearances. Just as a predatory striker has a knack of being at the right place at the right time, as does wor Daniel when on the goal line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 People's opinions of Simpson have mellowed a lot since he's been out of the team. Watching him play every week was awful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnes23 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Will be glad to see him go. Not good enough for WBA, imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andymc1 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I can see him going to Norwich to link up with Hughton again. Norwich would be his kind of stamp, and as good as he'll likely get once he leaves here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zolton Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Overall, I 'm a bit underwhelmed, seems most of you are as well, not sure why we are looking at him if I'm honest, Steven Reid may be coming to the end of his contract, Billy Jones has improved thought the season but is still suspect defensively, its probably our weakest area and one I would like to sign a good addition for, bet you score through our right back position on Saturday, which says it all Thanks for the heads up.

Wallace Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I would have thought that the clubs that Simpson has been linked with such as Wigan and West Brom are likely to offer less wages than he was offered here and turned down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
