Jack Simpson leaves for Cardiff City

[deBoersHeader]

Good luck to him.

 

[Gibraltar Loyal]

Some shocking patter on here.
Guy came in and never managed to make it, happens all the time.
Andy Firth waves a flag and is considered a legend by some. Dearie me.
Good luck to the lad, hope he gets his career back on track.

 

[orjan_persson]

I hope he does well. It's a heavy jersey to wear at Rangers.

 

[Big Joke New]

Undisclosed so I'm gonna say 2/3mil for any lurkers looking in

It was 10m with add-ins

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Cardiff were prepared to pay Bournemouth £750k for him in January 21, with just a few months to run on his Bournemouth contract. Though the article describes Simpson as a right-back? Does leave you wondering if we paid a similar fee to get him in Jan 21 as well.

Cardiff City 'have bid accepted' for Bournemouth defender Jack Simpson

Cardiff City have been on the hunt for a new right-back and appear to have added to their defensive ranks with Bournemouth's Jack Simpson

[Professor Yaffle]

Good luck to him

 

[Braeside58]

Good business by the club.
I wish Jack all the very best in his future.

 

[Plantation pioneer]

He lived a dream most of us will never do. Good luck to him in his career just wasn’t at the level to succeed at Rangers.

 

[Papasmurf]

Good luck to him.

Maybe not good enough for us but I’ve no doubt he’s always given his all and has always conducted himself well.

He doesn’t deserve some of the comments aimed at him.

This. Some pretty rotten comments any time his name is mentioned.

 

[TCWNS1872]

Would be fcukin hilarious if he rips it up, gets a move and we subsequently find out that the bold Ross had inserted a sell on clause.

And then I woke up and rubbed my eyes...

Anyways, good luck to him.

 

[HillsBill]

City boss Steve Morison added "Jack's going to bring balance for us in defence.
"He is a fantastic player, with a beautiful left foot.

Wouldn’t be hard to have a “beautiful left foot” when he played like he had 2

Love it - and ain't it the truth!

 

[55degreesnorth]

Lols when he gets POTS when Cardiff go up - Joe Worral style.

Worrall was a complete bomb scare but at least you could see that there was something there that maybe could be developed or would come good. Simpson? If he didn't have some epl appearances on his CV then his agent would likely be ringing up the likes of hartlepool or leyton orient asking how they're fixed at CB.

 

[WinkieWATP]

"who is actually going to take him"

Said most on here. While Ross just gets on with his job of actually being the DOF.

He had a good reputation when he came up here did he not? Can easily go on and have a good career at that level.

 

[Kentbear]

A glass half full kinda guy eh?

I agree with the guy, he had done nothing of note to warrant a move to us, his performances back that up.

 

[Mount_Bear]

Duffy??

Duffy has been good for Brighton in the main.

 

[Realger34]

Never caused us any bother, just not good enough.

All the best.

 

[renfrewger]

yassssssssssss

Getting a fee is crazy, if the entirety of his wages are offloaded too then that's brilliant, I was always thinking we'd have to subsidise some amount of his wages at his next club

great work by Ross Wilson. Good luck to Simpson at his new club, he may perform better in a team with less pressure

 

[Laudrup1]

Should never have been signed.

Why, he was a low / no fee punt on law wages.

It's very much the sort of singing we should try and if it doesn't work out, it's no great loss.

Fee probably covers his wages over the period.

Maybe the next one will be another Bassey...

 

[thornhill bear]

He got to wear our jersey so for that I say thank you and wish him well for the rest of his career

 

[High Society]

Fair play to Ross Wilson, didn't get a whiff of this. All the best to Jack, hope he can carve out a decent career for himself down there.

Well said and better than the horrible comments from so called supporters

 

[Govan ☨]

Arrived for free, leaving for a fee, I'm happy with that.

He's weak as piss at tackling & I'd imagine that's always been the case.

You could use that logic to buy literally anyone.

 

[Mustang mad]

Undisclosed fee.
A quid

 

[venturablue]

He had a good reputation when he came up here did he not? Can easily go on and have a good career at that level.

He never had the character to play for Rangers. He will be a decent enough championship level player.

It's important you do scouting on a players ability as well as their character to play for us.

 

[sheddensbear]

He wasn't good enough, but was written off before he arrived.

 

[Skoosh1872]

Good news. Delighted that it’s a permanent deal.

 

[bearmind]

Simpson will probably score for Cardiff on his debut and we will hear about it on FF first!

 

[Baxter Blue]

Yet folks on here still give Ross Wilson shit....

He shouldn’t have been with us in the first f uckin place.
Its a bit of a bad habit with these signings.

 

[JD1872]

He will sit in the stands for fun over there.

Crazy signing that almost everyone knew would fail

 

[RodShapero]

All the best Jack

Well done Ross.

 

[Alfred Blair]

He shouldn’t have been with us in the first f uckin place.
Its a bit of a bad habit with these signings.

Good luck to him not Rangers class

 

[islalewis]

Good news. All the best, Jack.

 

[Jorg]

happy that his off the wage bill

 

[Bluebeard]

What is the grapevine saying about the fee? I’m guessing around 250k.

 

[TheEgg]

Can’t be guys on here said we’d never get shot of him because of the length of his contract bla bla

Good luck to him..

Youve been on here long enough Gramps to know that 99% of guys on here are talking out their arsehole

 

[Xtal]

Fancy him to do well at Cardiff, good move for him.

One of the most puzzling transfers we’ve made in recent years, nearly 26 I think and has played the same number of games as most 19/20 year olds.

 

[Sticky Fingers]

Good move for the boy. Hope he does well and puts his nightmare here behind him. There was a player In there, we just couldn’t coax it out of him.

 

[WATP87]

Couple of million at least for Jack 

 

[HawfHeedHartson]

He shouldn’t have been with us in the first f uckin place.
Its a bit of a bad habit with these signings.

Blame Gerrard then, it was him who chased Simpson window after window.

 

[MilngavieLoyal]

Cardiff obviously looking for a relegation battle this year

Good luck to both of them.

 

[Simply a Bear]

It never worked out for either party. It happens a lot in football. Wish him all the best.

 

[Stoorie]

Good luck to the lad. I’m sure he tried his best but didn’t quite make it.

 

[The Huguenot]

All the best.

 

[HowdenEnder]

All the best Jack.

 

[bornabluenose]

No hard feelings, but one of our more strange signings in recent years.

Wish him all the best at Cardiff.

 

[Sensible Head]

How many fit centre half have we got..

 

[Dynamo]

 

[ronadamus_prime]

Well said and better than the horrible comments from so called supporters

I've never understood people who rage at the players themselves. He didn't ask us to sign him. There's zero need to be nasty to or about the guy. He's never kicked up a fuss or stirred up trouble for the club or the manager. He's came and tried his best to break into the team in a professional manner. You can't ask for much more than that.

 

[FredBiletnikoff]

I'm gonna kid on we got 3 million for him.
Watch the rhotten mob at work go mental.

Don't forget a 95% sell on.
