Just telling it as i see it. Not in the same class as our other overseas players, not better than our British players, taking up a valuble quota space and on decent cash (why would he come otherwise). Hope he gets over his injuries, as you never want someone to be hurt doing their job, but for me, not the type of guy we need to help push us on to a higher level.

Trouble is that we are making a judgement on a few games in an unsetteld team with a player who was having to cope with a whole new way of life, players, tactics and without all the supports he would have back home.


He deserves a second chance and we will see what he is like if he gets a run of games.

we'll see next year then as he is out for 3 months.

I've seen Simpson at matches watching the boys play!! He's also been handing out the shirts for the Birthday bonanza!!

Seen him at few games.
After a patchy start , at leeds he looked to have some real potential. Pity his njury means none of us can accurately assess him yet. Bet he is feeling more frustrated than us.

It just hasn't happened for him yet, whether it is just a bad signing and he isn't upto SL standard or a case of the him just not adjusting to his new life i dont know...but so far its looking like NB has actually got a signing wrong !

i hope he comes back a better player and cracks on as its always good to have more competition for places !!

We aint having threads knocking players anymore, the guy aint played a handful of games yet ffs.

They have a crap game then fair enough but i see no point in threads specifically aimed at individuals.

We'll revisit this after hes got a season or 20 odd games under his belt, then we can make a judgement, till then it serves no purpose to knock one of our own.

There are plenty of positives to dwell on for a change

Thread to stay for now.

What actually is his injury?

Re: Simpson : Sat Jun 11, 2011 11:59 am  

It's a shoulder problem. That's as much has been said I think.

Thursday June 9th

And Brown revealed Australian winger Jamie Simpson faces a further three months on the sidelines as a shoulder injury will require surgery and he is pencilled in for an operation on Monday.
