Breaking News Blues Pull out of a deal to sign Josh Simpson permanently

Forums New posts
Interesting... He's a good player but he's woefully out of form. Perhaps we're moving for a better right winger, rather than a central midfielder who can play out wide if necessary?

Don't make me laugh, one of the top 4 players in the team and Ron Martins ambition for the team is nil. Keep sticking up for the idiot and hiding the real reason we can't win many football games!

So, if we can't afford to sign him, you're lambasting RM for not signing him?

There's no logic in that whatsoever.

The quote "Southend United pulled out of a deal to sign Josh Simpson on a permanent basis" seems to come from the lips of one Barry Fry.

And I still refuse to believe a single word that comes out of that fat judas ****'s mouth.
 
Simple hes got 2.5 years on his contract therefore commands a fee, therefore no deal. We havent played at home for 5 weeks, our finances must be up the swanny. Hence why I think Grant will go and maybe one or two others. Have heard rumours of a few prem clubs sniffing around Prosser and Zaaboub.

I expect the bigger issue to be the 2.5 years on his league one contract than any transfer fee Peterborough are asking for, although it is Barry Fry so he probably is valuing him at half a million.
 
That is such a misleading article. In the heading he quotes Fry, but at no point in that article or the Peterborough today Telegraph does Fry say that we have pulled out of signing Simpson... Correct me if I am wrong however...

To be fair though, I did find this on the Telegraph site. Barry Fry must also be a journalist these days:

http://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/sport/football/peterborough-united/who_s_worth_what_et_valuations_of_the_top_posh_players_1_2199706

I love what he writes about Craig Mackail-Smith - he pretty much writes him off as being not good enough for the champsionship and is too old to improve, then rates him at £1.25 million!!!

That is hilarious; I'm assuming all those players are Man City targets?

back on topic, I'd be really dissapointed if we lose Simpson. Shame we've not seem him more in the middle with Grant; he's one of few players in the squad who can thread a decent pass. Definitely off-form, but definitely a good player at this level or league 1.

agreed, Simpson has been the player that looks to get it down and play - right from the Aldershot game I was impressed with him. He is an essex boy and has always played his football in the east anglian vicinity, so would love to see him stay. The simple method of Webby filling the team with local lads, and Tilson follwing suit a generation later is probably lost on journeyman sturrock
