anyone else believe this lad could do a job for us next season? He's still young and i believe shows quite a bit of potential, also works well with stewart..
He did look good with Stewart, our season slipped slightly when he (cammy) got injured. I think with the right players around him he can replicate his QPR form and better.
He's definatly got too good a pedigree to be writing him off, could easily get in double figures given decent service.
Very much so. There were enough performances at various points to suggest he can score a few when given a good run of games
Watching that goals montage on another thread showed me he could very well be a threat next season. Stick him up there with Fryatt and watch the goals fly in.
Simpson has a good footballers brain upon those shoulders. A lot betther than the likes of mclean and folan. I think the problem is that he doesn't get the service he needs. I think the bristol game at home showed us exactly what he's capable of when he's got service from the midfield (particularly a certain winger ). I reckon he'll get at least 8 league goals next season and maybe even one in the cup!
Although I don't post too often I am a big fan of Simpson and have said previously he is a good player at this level but is very much a confidence player. Having taken so long to get off the mark I think he was unlucky to be replaced by Fryatt and Mclean. I think that Simpson and Fryatt will make a good pair next year with a fit Stewart providing the service they need. I do fancy us next season but an early start is vital, there are now some good teams around and the prize of a return to the PL is only going to become more difficult as the championship becomes what the FA envisage PL2.
I reckon we should play him, even if he's not hitting form. Then if he does hit form, drop him for McLean. Sound tactics that can't fail.
Blimey no, I don't get up until midday. I mean we traditionally struggle with the first half dozen games but I think this year if you get off to a slow start with the teams now in the championship the pacesetters will be too far ahead and we'll struggle to keep pace.
Simpson had off-the-field issues I think when he arrived, that's why he was so bad to start with. Next season we will have a class player on our hands, especially after the lad has a full pre-season with us, like a few others, even Aaron, who is not as bad as some make out on here.
Plus we didn't have a settled side until 17/18 games had been played. He played largely as a lone striker. Not what his game is about. You don't stay at Arsenal for the period of time he did by being a bad player, we need to play to his strengths, which looking at the players we're linked with, we'll have a team capable of providing our strikers with the service they need.
