Hope the lad does well, although I sort of wished to see more of him this season too.

Im sorry but this is fucking ridiculous. How Wenger can contemplate sending a superb talent like Simpson out on loan and yet persist with an idiot like Bendtner who has wasted cahnce after chance to make an impact is beyond me. Simpson should be in the squad ahead of barry bender and pushing to replace Adebayor against Villa.

Agree to a certain extent but there's also Vela in the equation and AW obviously thinks he's above Simpson in the pecking order.
I'm gonna stick my neck out and say the reason he's letting Simpson go on loan is cos Bendtner may be off and we're gonna get a £20m striker in!
Is it my medication time?!?!

Simpson has shown he is worth persisting with for next season.

He has pace, strength and makes good off the ball runs.

Also can play right wing or up front.

Hopefully he can get some good match time at West Brom and be sharp for us 2009 - 2010.

I've only seen Simpson in the carlin cup match and a few reserve matches, I like his strength, pace and tenacity. Should do well with Miller or Bednar. GO ON SIMPSON :barscarf: :barscarf:
