1969 Posted 6 June 2018 Share Posted 6 June 2018 London evening standard says he has attracted interest from us Crystal Palace and Brighton. Also says we've expressed reservations over his £12 million valuation. 28 year old Japanese International right back. Can't see it happening myself.

Bryn Posted 6 June 2018 Share Posted 6 June 2018 Can't imagine we're in the market for a first choice right back but experienced back-up, especially if he's a well-rounded player, would be welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonVirtine Posted 6 June 2018 Share Posted 6 June 2018 Whilst I could see us in for another right back, I don't think so at that price and it's certainly not a priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I'm in a minority but I actually think Simmo is a decent player, nothing spectacular and offers nothing going forwards... but a solid defender and more than worthy of a place in the squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, as much as I want Ricardo Pereira to play in a Leicester shirt, he won't cover all our matches in the league and cup competitions, so there will be opportunities for Simpson. And Amartey possibly (even though I'd rather want to see him in midfield, he's done an admirable job as right-back). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally feel we have okish coverage there but nothing apart Simpson (if Ricardo is injured) in RB. Unless my useless memory is playing tricks on me i seem to think Puel played Amartey as RB earlier this season even when Simpson was not injured ?

Amartey‘s best position is in central defensive midfield, that‘s where he‘s played the most (before joining Leicester). The crux of the matter with versatile players is that they become jacks-of-all-trades, and master of none. With Ndidi and Iborra, his chances of featuring there had become rather slim lately. But who knows? Maybe Amartey leaves this summer, too. Or Iborra? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(From what i have read he has not settled here at all) and tbh he has had some great games but also some completely w4nk ones too. Would not be disappointed apart from on an 'eye candy' aspect if he left. Prefer him not too, but i wouldn't be too disgruntled.
