plymouthranger 3,842 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I imagine this will be as much to do with Nikos side as ours. At the end of the day, he’s young and just back from a year out. He’s going to want to play as much football as possible, which he won’t get here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudrupsleftfoot 10,585 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Balogun's better than him with the ball, but is he a better defender than Niko? Far from convinced personally. Simpson's a failed midfielder playing at the back. Pound shop Stones and he's fucking abysmal. Jimfanciesthedude and falkirkNS 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA1972 9,057 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Another baffling decision from the club if true, letting Edmundson and Katic go but keeping Simpson If the management team genuinely think Simpson is the answer then we’re in bother. Imagine that donkey starting against scum or in a Europa group game, would get ripped to shreds If there’s not a centre back in the youth team better than Simpson we’d be as well disbanding it and saving the money The Beast 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate I’ve said he needs to improve by that I mean his all round game. in the 4-1 game against the tinks last season he put in a solid performance and showed he can do a job for us. My point is he’s not as bad as people on here make out. Comments like id rather play a 50 year old Bert konterman over him reinforces my point.

Not aggressive, every game ive seen the first thing he does is go in hard 1st tackle usually going through the player and giving away a foul 🤣 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone is saying that. Just that he was better pre injury than some of the other options we have for the position now. He deserves a chance to prove he could be that good or better again and time is on his side unlike Balogan who is only going to get worse. fitalspark 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EatDolphins 5,355 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Spastic move if true. Simpson is garbage, Balogun is shaky at best. Both Goldson and Helander probably won't be here next season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed especially with Goldson holding our for a move and Balogun with 12 months on his deal, but maybe the club don’t see it that way. I imagine we could get back £2-3million for Katic which could be quite attractive for the board right now, especially for a player who is 4th/5th choice in his position Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
