Jonaldinho Posted 30 August 2014 Share Posted 30 August 2014 Good signing. The first priority for a RB is to defend, especially for a team like us, and it seems that Simpson is a better defender than De Laet. It adds important depth to the squad too - I wouldn't have been happy having Moore/Wasyl as the only back up for De Laet. I can't imagine Simpson has cost much either, so ticks all the boxes for me.

Babylon Posted 30 August 2014 Share Posted 30 August 2014 Almost everyone happy with a signing... Does this ever happen? You wait til people find out we paid £10m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Horse's Mouth Posted 30 August 2014 Share Posted 30 August 2014 Baffles me why QPR have chosen to sell, maybe they are getting in another RB who knows, but we have ended up with a quality player it's not hard to figure out, he's not that good. I'm alright with it, I don't rate him but we're quite bare at right back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH Posted 30 August 2014 Share Posted 30 August 2014 Simpson to me is more of a 4-4-2 RB letting the winger attack with no defensive responsibility. . de Laet more of a 3 central mids sort of RB who can bomb up the wing a bit more. Happy to be proven wrong though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bamba's Babes Posted 30 August 2014 Share Posted 30 August 2014 Pleased with this . Now another cb winger and fwd ? What's the chances? Don't believe we need a centre back. Priority: 1 - Striker 2 - Left back 3 - Winger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Horse's Mouth Posted 30 August 2014 Share Posted 30 August 2014 No it's not hard to figure out... They play three at the back not four now. They played four today, after the Spurs embarrassment it looks like he's going back to four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingfox Posted 30 August 2014 Share Posted 30 August 2014 Doubt we will get both a Left-Back & Winger. It all depends what Pearson sees Schlupp as now, if he still sees him as a left-back a winger could be needed, if he sees him as a winger then a left-back is definitely needed. Just glad we have got Simpson in though, Right Back was the only position where we didn't have outright competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHC Posted 30 August 2014 Share Posted 30 August 2014 Think about how the squad is coming together. Looks good if you ask me. Where does it need more cover? CB, LB? Kasper, Hamer Simpson, RDL Morgan, Moore, Wasilewski, Upson Konchesky, Schlupp Drinkwater, James, Cambiasso, King, Hammond Mahrez, Knockaert, Albrighton Vardy, Nugent, Ulloa, Wood Looking at that I would say we could do with another winger but I suppose Schlupp can cover there if we need him too. Bakayogo might actually be back up for Konchesky in Pearson's eyes and he might be classing Schlupp as a winger this season, who knows. If that is the case I'd say we look like the finished article in terms of numbers. Maybe another striker like Nigel says but I like the look of that squad. Well done Nigel for sorting out our strength in depth problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
