Leicester make Danny Simpson available for loan (unofficial)

[TheMightySystem]

Let him go. Probably Pearsons worst buy IMO. Everyone is entitled to a dud though every now and again. Ship him out.

I think that title belongs to bakayogo

[davieG]

Not suggesting anything should or shouldn't be posted, but I'm pointing out as far as I'm aware that site should be taken with a hefty pinch of salt. Look up John August and ask yourself is he's a professional journalist worth listening to

That's why I put unofficial in the title but then I guess that's stating the obvious a bit like yourself   

[Saxondale]

 

 

The former Manchester United youth product joined Leicester last summer from Queens Park Rangers and helped the club pull off their great escape from relegation last term.

 

 

Errr, no he didn't.

 

In fact our form dramatically improved around the time we dropped the useless gimp.

Now now, have seen the other threads? I was hoping by stating the obvious, it might curtail those who don't going off on one.

[General Smuts]

I assume this is lazy journalism.  Which PL clubs would want him?  He is okay cover at best.

 

Suspect only one of the promoted teams - i.e. Norwich or Bournemouth would look at him as an option. 

[Bayfox]

I've never been RDL's biggest fan, especially defensively, Simpson was clearly brought to play RB but then Nige hit on the 3 at the back and using Wingbacks, which instantly negated any need for Simpson.

 

CR clearly things that RDL is the better bet at RB, which he probably is in terms of he can move over and play RCB or WB if you want to change the system during a game. Best thing for Simpson would be a full move but I guess if he was at QPR on silly wages then who is gonna pay him. Us.

[Dan]

No issues here. Bigger offender than Vardy for me and he's not a good defender.

[RedSoxUK]

Probably our worst investment in a long time. WIll be interesting to see who picks him up, though most probably QPR.

RDL is miles ahead of simpson in pace

[Haydos]

Reportedly on 30,000 a week. Whoever signed off on that needs sacking (Probably Robinson if so job done!).

No chance whatsoever He was brought in as a back up right back.

[bald reynard]

IF he goes on loan now (or goes at any point during his contract at City), we'll have to stump up a huge amount of subsidy for his wages elsewhere.  I thought he might have been sacked, after being found guilty of assault.

[MPH]

I find it a little hypocritical that he hasnt been sacked.

 

 

Its not ok to call a Thai prostitute " slit eye" have sex with her  and get your mate to video it. - I agree with that.

 

 

But it is ok to get drunk, argue,  straddle a girl, put your hands round her neck and throttle her, only to stop when desturbed by cops who then have top fight you off of her.

 

 

But because you havce invested money into the deal you dont sack him.

 

 

 

What kind of message is this putting out?

Simpson, I believe, is appealing the conviction, and if successful, in essence would mean he is innocent. If the club sack him prior to the appeal and he is successful, he may well have grounds for unlawful dismissal, which could end up costing the club huge sums of money.

Yeah that makes sense. Would like to see what action is taken once the appeal is held.

I think that's why they are anxious to loan him out to deflect some of the criticism. Aside from the fact that he may lose his appeal, I don't think he is anywhere near the standard required.

My thoughts too.

 

In a nut shell he's a defender that isn't very good at defending..

[sdb]

Was glad when he came in as RDL was struggling, but the Belgian has improved a lot over the last season.

 

In an ideal world we'd get a quality RB but I think CR is happy with RDL, YB and Albrighton as a WB option. 

[MPH]

whats kerrea gilbert upto these days?

 

 

 

 

 

[Father Ted]

Brought in supposedly to offer a more 'defensive' option to De Laet and shown himself up to not only be totally useless at going forward but a total liability defensively - far worse than De Laet has ever been. 

 

He is one player I'll be glad never to see wear our shirt again, utter bag of wank.

Different matters entirely though, those three pr!cks were on club duty at the time, Simpson didn't even play with the club when this happened.

I don't disagree with you though but it raises the question as to why we signed him in the first place,knowing fine well that this was a possibility. It's not like we didn't know that this was hanging over him.

[Kitchandro]

But at the same time if they actually had any principles the appeal would be irrelevant.

 

If he's found innocent it will be because the mother recants her testimony. Despite the fact there were eyewitnesses to the incident.

 

In short, they would know he did strangle her but he would be found innocent anyway. So the club can hardly hide behind that as a reason.

 

Either they have morals or they don't. If you actually have morals they come before legal technicalities and financial issues.

 

But I suppose it's true that principles are for people with options.

Well that's the thing, if people are innocent until proven guilty, do we decide they are not punishable because they didn't commit the crime here? Or do we punish them for being found guilty whilst here?

 

He didn't commit the crime here, but he wasn't found guilty while at his old club either. Which is why innocent until proven guilty isn't so relevant outside of the courts because, in reality, if found guilty, he was guilty as soon as he committed the crime, before he signed for us.

 

It's like the Adam Johnson thing, IF he's convicted, you've had a paedophile playing for you for several months. And you're ok with that because there's a possibility he might be/have been found innocent, despite the charges being pretty damning.

 

It's a difficult situation but my feeling is that most of these people act like they have principles when if fact, they don't.

Think its common practice to stand behind your player till you no longer can / an acceptable time to get rid comes about. They could quite easily have sacked him pre-Simpson's appeal. But i'm in agreeance, if you've binned three players for unprofessional behaviour while on club duty and disrespected a culture and human while doing it, Simpson quire rightfully deserves the sack for a lack of respect and unprofessional behaviour while off-duty. I for one find it difficult to cheer his name, applaud his performances, or stand behind him knowing full well he's a Grade A twat who doesn't deserve to wear the shirt.

[AKCJ]

Can't we just sack him on the basis of being ****ing shit at his job?

 

There's no way he could do us for wrongful dismissal.

[sdb]

Has he actually ever played badly for us?

 

I think people are putting mediocre performances and a really rather nasty attitude together and getting a bad player, which he isn't. Be good to get him off our books though, for all involved probably.
