No only factual's can prove if actually the player is poor or great.

 

Opinion's are based on individuals out looks.

 

This whole site is based in opinions, transfer thread 'who should we sign etc'

 

I bet Simpson will hardly play next season and that is my opinion stated.

Great Picture I agree.

 

So should we keep Morgan, King, Ulloa, and Huth just because of past glories?

 

No that was then, now is now.

 

Move on improve and get better or stagnate and think about the good old days.

You seem to be missing the point, he says Simpson has always been "shit".  Simpson will look worse in our current system as he's not an attacking right back and not a ball playing right back. That's what the manager wants, he doesn't fit, so he won't be in the team next season.

 

Asked to perform a certain role, as he was in the title winning season he was fantastic in that position. It focused on everything he was good at and didn't ask him to anything he wasn't. Now that doesn't make him the best right back in the world just because he's great in that system. But neither does it make Simpson "shit" because he no longer fits the system we employ.

Well that is the OP's personal opinion.

 

Everybody is allowed to voice their personal thoughts, just like you guys are to respond.

 

My personal thoughts, Simpson was never a world beater neither was Ulloa, Okazaki, King, Albrighton etc

 

We just clicked, playing together for each other, no big ego's no massive pay cheques.

 

It happens Blackburn remember them!

[sheffield_fox]

Simpson did exactly what he needed to do in our title winning season. Looking at his career before he came to us, it's surprising he actually had that in his locker...

 

Just because he's gone off the boil since doesn't make him a shit player. 

 

Like it or not he's a Leicester City legend but he needs replacing with someone who can do the job more effectively next season.

[Ric Flair]

I think Pereira could be our most important signing since Kante. It seems he is more than just a full back who attacks and defends in unison. I wonder if his tireless energy will push others on in the closing stages like Kante often did. It can be infectious and I'm very pleased it seems we're getting him.

 

The sorts of players we are looking at this last year seem to be much more thought out than the year before, perhaps Macia and his team deserve a bit of credit.

[Fox 4 Life]

Him and Silva are in the 23 for Portugal's WC squad. Get this sorted Adrien.

You can't compare us to Blackburn, we were a team assembled for buttons with rejects and bargain buys everywhere. Blackburn were one of the biggest clubs in the country for a couple of years, Shearer chose to join them ahead of Man Utd.

 

Simpson was an ideal player for us in the title win. Our full backs were expected to defend and we utilised all of Simpson's assets and negated his weaknesses. He's a very good and very intelligent defender. Our tactic under Ranieri was to defend narrow and hold our shape. It was very rare to see Simpson get opened up and his modus operandi was to never be dribbled past and force the opposition to either cross or keep passing looking for another way through our tight formation. If the cross did come in Huth and Morgan were expected to deal with it which invariably they did.

I am not comparing us to Blackburn.

 

I am just stating smaller teams have won the league before.

No, they weren't 'world-beaters'. But I think one of the points @Babylon is trying to make is that surely there is a large gap between someone being a world beater and being 'shit'. And that Simpson sits in that gap, maybe a fair distance from either side of it, but still...

[sylofox]

Anyway have we signed Simpson yet?

Shit is a strong word.

We do need a good RB, Simpson IS shit! Lots of people calling for us to buy a CB, I agree we need to remove Wes but I'm happy to go with Drago or one of the U23 lads without a moment's worry. RB is our most important purchase (and has been for years). I'd like a GK to replace Kasper and a skillful no.10 or AM, I don't think we need to replace Mahrez with another winger - he's shown that having your "skill" player on the wing isn't that good for us.

So was Tony Wilson's grammar by the looks of it. 

It's actually his spelling and punctuation that would have been 'Simpsonesque'.

Sorry to but in, but you seemed to have read the first part of the sentence and nothing else, Blackburn was not a small club at the time they won the league, they was breaking transfer records and finishing in the top 4 in consecutive seasons

They were compared to Man United and Arsenal, Liverpool.

 

We did not have the top 6 then like we do now.

 

So small team with lots of money.

It seems people still don’t understand Simpson’s job in the title side. 

 

He wasn’t there to block crosses, his job was to encourage crosses, he defended narrow deliberately to leave a big gap on the flanks and this discourages forwards from running at the centre backs and sends them wide. Crosses were meat and drink to Huth and Morgan. We let the opposition have the ball out wide, frustrate them until they cross it. Much like teams have done to us at home this season. It was unconventional but effective, the fact Puel has tried to turn him into an overlapping full back is ridiculous.

Spot on, this was Claudio's plan. Whenever the TVs cameras panned to him he was pushing his 

open hands together, to get the defenders closer.

l have a new found respect for your football knowledge, used to think you were just a statistics man,

like many others on here but no, you know your stuff.

Can I not have an opinion? And why does it have to be that I okay football to have this opinion? I have never, ever rated Simpson.... is that okay with the opinion police? 

But to suggest he was crap the year we won the title does make you look a d***head.

[EnderbyFox]

Danny Simpson can't be shit, he has a Youtube compilation 

 

Great title also "Skills & Goals" 

 

 

[Innovindil]

Announce Ricardo! 

 

Couldn't resist. 

[STUHILL]

Danny Simpson is not shit. Never has been. He was great and incredibly valuable for us in our title winning season. I also recall him being one of the better performers the season after, even though most significantly dropped off. 

 

He, like Wes are the result of age catching up with them and being totally inadequate for a possession styled approach. 

 

I expect both to see out the last year of their well paid contracts, but hopefully both will not be needed next season as we will have signed much stronger replacements, starting with this Pereira! 

[Jattdogg]

Less talking, more signing please.

get'er done.
