Jay Simpson the ex Arsenal striker? If they come we need to give them a chance, same if Anthony Stokes comes. Too often our fans write players off before kicking a ball for us

if we start buying players from league one, my support for slade will be put to the test, put it that way :ayatollah:

i thought simpson was still playing in thailand.

Not good enough to play for us. Theres a reason he ended up in thailand at his age.

If we can get Simpson playing to his best we could have a gem on our hands

I don't know many kids wenger lets go that make it in the top division in England. I don't think many have even done great in the championship have they.

We have Connolly, landsbury, hoyte, maybe you could say jet. Chances are if its a player going from the gooners to a British club it's not a great signing

Where you hear this?

Heres my view

Jay simpson - very poor goalscoring record wherever hes been including in league 1 with leyton orient,we need a goalscorer and jay simpson clearly isnt that so NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

Marvin Bartley- i have talked to a few people on the leyton orient forum not so long ago and they say that their best two players are dean cox and romain vincelot and these two would be the only 2 that would stand a chance of being good enough for the championship with vincelot the one they had most confidence in, nobody mentioned bartley therefore i would be massively underwhelmed with him signing.

If thats the calibre of player slade is going after we are in trouble imo.
