Robbie Simpson released by Oldham (1 Viewer)

No he is not good enough.

i would we are in league 1 & didnt think he was to bad

I liked him, good finisher. Injury record isn't great though

Still holds the award for youtubes biggest celebration fail ever

League one he could be useful. Doubt he'd want too much of a wage. And if played up front and not out wife, could do a job. I'd say he's worth a 1 yr deal with the option of a second

No thanks. There must be better options out there.....we'll be replacing deadwood with deadwood.

And "not out wife" that a new position haha

If he's not good enough for Oldham, why would he be good enough for us?

He can't be that 'decent' if he got released by... Oldham!

According to this, he wasn't even offered a deal! (EDIT: I think it turns out he just wanted to go, my bad!)

Either way, he isn't good enough for CCFC anyway, moreover, age is no longer on his side being 28 (not saying it's old, just saying he isn't going to improve much).

I don't believe he would want to join us,what decent player would join a sinking ship.

Errrrrrrrrrr no


Simply the best
Better than all the rest

I really don't think we should be snapping up players deemed not good enough for Oldham.

Have I missed something

Are we out of the embargo ?

That's our level now. Look at madden at Yeovil. Couldn't get in the Carlisle team and done wonders at Yeovil.

Unless something radical changes sharpish it's just going be a team of kids next year guys mark my words - no money, embargo, manager's preference - we're going to get eaten alive in this league next season we are truly screwed

I hate to say it but i think your right bud. Deja vu of the thorn season when we got relegated from the championship

Next people will be wanting O'Donovan back because he's scored a couple for Northampton. :facepalm:

There's always one who spoils the fun and has to mention the 'e' word

May as well get Andy Whing back too while we're at it. Rubbish.

Great goal, though. Happier times..

not good enough for oldham, not good enough for us.

Can't believe we have stooped to a level where we have fans who would want Robbie Simpson back,yeah we are fucked but get a fuckin grip!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some people on here are disullusioned if they think we are going to sign better players than Robbie Simpson,he would walk into our team in league 1,who apart from Clarke amongst our strikers is better ? I believe we got about £300k for him when we sold him.

And you're basing that on what?

You do realise he's scored just 12 league goals since leaving us 4 years ago?

We signed Leon Clark and secured mcgoldrick on loan. Simpson was poor when with us and is now even worse. We need to develop some young up and coming forwards not a never was been like Simpson.

He's a better target man than Ball...and we don't have any other target men other than Clarke. Not saying we should sign him, mind.

I'm a better target man than Ball.....and I'm only 5ft 9in!

Roy "Goals" O'Donovan has scored again!

Only R5 called him "Roy O'Donahue" :facepalm:

Good finish by ROD

Agree, Simpson was quite good in the air (noticeably so when deployed out wide under Coleman when we looked to use him to flick it on to Morrison and Eastwood). As a striker in the one up top Pressley system however, not good enough. He went to Loughborough Uni with Baby Elvis/Franky Fryer off Soccer AM - genuine bloke but wouldn't improve the CCFC squad now.
