Simpson signs new contract

[Guest CityFan 06]

Good news for a very solid RB. Outstanding last year and another newly contracted player to add to the list.

Well done Danny, you've earned it.

[richardsfoxes]

Deserved. 

[blue army 1988]

Glad he's signed a new deal. 

Heard a rumour that West Ham put a 5 mill bid in for him late last night.

[filbertway]

Nice one Danny. Can be improved upon, but definitely deserves a nice little payrise after playing a big part in last seasons defence.

[Babylon]

Well deserved.

[Arriba Los Zorros]

Hopefully he matured last season in more ways than one. Has way exceeded most people's expectations of how good he could be

[theessexfox]

Grown into a rock solid right-back and doesn't get the credit he deserves for the improvement of his footballing performances. 

[Fox 4 Life]

Very well deserved, he is one of our most consistent performers and whilst not spectacular does everything needed of him as a RB.

[simpmeister]

Fantastic last season and looked great against Arsenal and Swansea. Well deserved.

[ithuriel]

Originally thought he was a waste of time and a cad, matured as a player and hopefully as a person, so good luck and well earned.

Wouldn't surprise me. Outrageous delusions of grandeur at that club. 

[TheSomersetFox]

Can't believe his turnaround under Ranieri tbh. Warrior and one of my favorite players these days. Fair play to him, really has earned it.

[StriderHiryu]

Echoing others thoughts, a well deserved new contract! He is sometimes caught out positionally but he's one of us now and part of the legendary team. I also can't fault his commitment to the club or team, he always seems to give it his all.

 

I also loved his celebration last year when winning the title at Vardy's house! It must have meant a lot to him personally having been told he wasn't good enough at Manchester United.

[MC Prussian]

When I look back at the discussion we had whether we should keep him or not because of his personal problems and tabloid headlines and when I look at how far he's come in the space of maybe one year, I can only congratulate the player for having made such a big step forward. For all the solidity on the field, for his maturity and his reliability, Simpson fully deserves his contract extension.

[LanguedocFox]

I love the way we are tying in all of the title-winning team. Pity about Kanté, of course, but we seem gradually to be picking off the rest of the first-team squad. I like that.

[lgfualol]

Puts 100% in every game. Deserved new contract. 

[woznotwos]

Great stuff , pleased for him as he always puts a shift in

[norwichfox]

One of the biggest impacts early last year was when he got the regular RB spot, glad to see that he's got a 3 year contract.

[Strokes]

Our best right back since Pontus kaamark, I'm delighted he has been rewarded.

[Bluetintedspecs]

Thoroughly deserved.

[Vardinio'sCat]

 

 Simpson is usually quite a clever defender, as it turns out, and it makes you wonder why he never really excelled before.

 

Defenders often peak later than other positions, but he looks to me like he always had this in him. We did an awful lot of defending last season, and he was an integral part of that highly successful backline.

 

Arguably the most under-rated defender at the club.

[WigstonWanderer]

Well deserved. Even a bit of fancy footwork from him recently!

[desertfox2]

Have to say Simpson has grown on me a lot. Well deserved. Went from being the weak link in the side to a very solid right back. 

[foxy boxing]

really good news a decent right back who was great for us last season, has improved immensly
