Good to see him still being professional but his days are numbered here. Been a great pro for us and was a rock during the title win and has been steady this season when called upon but he's not getting any younger and wont play much here with Ricardo and Amartey when hes back. He'll get a decent champ team or lower end prem team in the summer. What he’s trying to get at is that they do regret moving but also trying to cover their backs as they’re great friends too.
Bert Posted 28 December 2018 Posted 28 December 2018 For everyone saying let’s sell Amartey, let’s not forget he’s just signed a new contract. He isn’t going anywhere.
Ian Nacho Posted 28 December 2018 Posted 28 December 2018 I think we should give him another year. With Amartey having a serious injury we don't know how long he's going to take to get back to match fitness even next season. Always a good option off the bench like on boxing Day.
Monsell1976 Posted 28 December 2018 Posted 28 December 2018 Done a solid job here, sad but him and a few others are the past, and like everything time moves on. I wouldn’t offer any of those out of contract, it would be purely out of sentiment, time for better new blood
Post Horn Galloper Posted 28 December 2018 Posted 28 December 2018 I'm in favour of playing three at the back. Simmo and Amartey could compete for the right sided position. In the Great Season I lost count of the number of times he made clearing headers at the far post from the opposition right wing. He is a damned good defensive full back and his distribution is always neat if unspectacular. I think three at the back would suit us given the ability of Chilly and Ricardo to play as wing backs and the strong shield offered by our midfield. It served us well under Martin O'Neill and properly played it does not mean a leaky defence. You don't win the Premier League by ten clear points with a duff right back. The right side of a back three would play to his strengths.

Solid and sorted us right out when we were in the shit and pushed on from there. Off the field he’s a massive bellend, but he’s worthy of finishing the season with us IMO. this a million times, the way he defends the back post is an art form
simpmeister Posted 28 December 2018 Posted 28 December 2018 Fantastic pro and has never let us down. Always a solid 7 out of 10 every game. Would be more than happy for Simmo to sign an extension on a reduced wage as an extremely solid and reliable squad player.
Carl the Llama Posted 28 December 2018 Posted 28 December 2018 Wasn't at all keen on the man when he signed given his sordid past but his story of redemption is one to rival the imaginations of the greatest playwrights so looking back it's really no surprise how well he gelled with the rest of our merry band of misfits. Absolute pro once all the chips have been counted and I would love him to stay on as a wisened head for the squad.

foxinsocks Posted 28 December 2018 Posted 28 December 2018 Lets keep him for as long as he wants to be here.... to show other potential leavers that the grass aint always greener. I know some dis danny. ... but he was fantastic when we won the league... his step up.... the arrival of fuchs and kante were key.... not in isolation. I hope they just roll his contract in till he cant play no more
That_Dude Posted 28 December 2018 Posted 28 December 2018 I'll always say this, if he had a bit more attacking attributes he'd be one of the very best RB in the league. Came twice this season, against big fishes and didn't put a foot wrong. I like him. He's now all the way down the pecking order, but if he can live with it and we can afford it, give him a one year extension.
Anglodanglo Posted 28 December 2018 Posted 28 December 2018 Make Simpson manager. Stick Puel at RB, he'll whisper any winger into his pocket. Re-sign Huth as free kick taker. Bring back the Foxy Ladies cheerleaders. If we do that we win all football.
FilbertFrog Posted 28 December 2018 Posted 28 December 2018 Need to get some of these older guys out and ASAP !!! But maybe if they aren’t moaning worth keeping

He’s been a rock when he has come on recently. He remains our best defensive right back imo He’s not the future but is currently better than Amartey. I’d keep him another year.

Feel him, along with Albrighton, were both incredibly unlucky to have not been given an England cap. Simmo was one of the best defensive full backs in the league, and Albrighton one of the best out and out wingers.

Tuna Posted 28 December 2018 Posted 28 December 2018 Been a great player for us, mr consistent and reliable. Just doesn't fit in with the style of play these days. We won't offer him a new deal but he'll always be one of the legends.

matty98 Posted 29 December 2018 Posted 29 December 2018 Simpson may be slightly better defensively but Amartey is a much better passer and is more comfortable on the ball.

Dan Posted 29 December 2018 Posted 29 December 2018 Simpson truly eclipsed everything I expected of him for us. He is very limited but he knows it and he's made the most of what he's got. He's been good for us.
Stadt Posted 29 December 2018 Posted 29 December 2018 It was only a cameo and you can't read too much into but he looked better on the ball then he ever has on boxing day
