"cough - Jay Simpson

[PT]

This kid looks the part. Playing up front for the Baggies against Villa and is causing them real problems at the back. Big, strong and tricky. Controls instantly and looks a threat. Definitely one to watch, though I doubt it'll be at Arsenal as he's not French.

Villa are still 1-0 up, so I'm happy.

But Simpson has played very well.

2-0. Young shoots from an impossible angle but Carson can't stop it, poor keeping.

Edit: BBC say it was Gabby, I was convinced at the time that it was Young but there you go...

No Nicky Shorey again. Seriously, has O'Neill made a transfer booboo? He was being looked at by Arsenal two seasons ago. Worth a punt for left back?

I think Shorey is one of those players who will only really perform optimally at one club, and that club is Reading.
