Jay Simpson

Do we sign him after doing so well. 3 goals in 4 league games and that is the best we have had for a long time. He has earnt the respect of many fans and deserves better than being thrown around the country.

[Tarbie]

I suppose that is all down to a.) whether the board want him permanently and b.) whether Arsene Wenger wants to let him go!

[frapps]

He seems to be our top scorer in the league and our only scoring striker.

Too early yet but IMHO he's a great prospect. Fantastic close control, especially when under pressure..he's a tough cookie.

You watch Fulham buy him after our year loans over.

[frapps]

Stuff FUlham they need to get out of their tin can of a stadium and find so good players and not from us. If they want to get players then get them from the youth.

[cross it Dave]

Yes, he's proving to have a good temperament, he's quick, strong & skillfull.

Along with Watson & Heaton well worth investing in.

[Yousef]

Sign him. He is worth the money and better than Blackstock. I saw some highlights. He covers the ball and wins possession.

If he goes to Fulham he will be another Zamora or Johnson

Unfortunately I think it will be a case of if he continues to do well Arsenal will either not sell him or we won't be able to afford him.

Would prefer it if out board didn't make a snap judgement and pay over the odds, if he continues his good form up until xmas than perhaps a fee should be set for the summer transfer window.

How come we cannot afford him and we paid excessive money for unproven Faurlin?

The fee for Faurlin cost less than a £1m. The other £2½m is salary which makes it seem that we've spent £3.5m so that the fans go out and buy STs.

If we weren't prepared to pay £1.9m for Cox will we pay this sort of amount for Simpson? How much is he worth?

I'm sure i read the Faurlin transfer included a lot of future add ons.

I don't think we paid out the reported 3.5 million in one lump.

Does anyone know the details of the transfer?
