Surely Simpson is worth the grand sum of f**k all?
Signed for 40k from Cambridge, behind 4 strikers there and not in the managers plans. Would imagine his contract is due to expire at the end of next season.
I would be highly dissapointed if he was valued anymore than 50k within this swap deal, however I would not be surprised if we are the ones paying the money!!
Also, whats the obssesion with players who were born in Norfolk? First Gill now Simpsosn, neither good enough for us before, what has changed?! This really worries me, as Grant tried this by bringing players that had previously played for the club back and it failed massivley! Was Gunn head of recriutment when Grant was here? If so, it seems like a lot of it could have been down to him!
I am really concerned about next season, Gunn is going to struggle. I wouldn't be surprised if we face another relegation battle.
