Thread: Jay Simpson

Arsenal striker Jay Simpson is reportedly an end of season target for Scottish giants Celtic with manager Tony Mowbray tipped to swoop for a player who he signed on loan while at West Bromwich Albion.

The 21-year-old is currently plying his trade at Queens Park R*ngers in the Championship but looks set to return to Arsenal when the season ends before analysing his options. A star in Arsene Wenger’s Carling Cup squad last season, Simpson has been in fine fettle at Loftus road scoring 12 goals in 27 league appearances.

Desperate for first team action, Simpson could be forced to leave Arsenal before the start of next season with Robin van Persie, Nicklas Bendtner, Carlos Vela, Eduardo, Theo Walcott and new boy Marouane Chamakh likely to be ahead of him in the pecking order.

Celtic currently have Tottenham Hotspur striker Robbie Keane on loan, but a permanent deal for the Republic of Ireland hitman could prove hard to seal. Simpson’s physical presence and pace would no doubt suit the Hoops well with the Park Head outfit looking to wrestle control of the title from R*ngers.

If he can't get a place infront of Bendter he isnt good enough for us

GTF (the rumour and Mowbray)

Aww away and fuck with this rumour!

Good wee player.

Good player but personally I think we're fine for strikers the now, just need to get the correct combination upfront.

Our best will end up being Keane and Razza. Then Keane leaves

Fortuné and the RA man up front sounds ok though

If he's any good then why not

Must be a reason as to why QPR don,t want him ,so for that reason I,m out

If he's still at Arsenal i'll take him. We all know Wenger's eye for youngsters is the best in the world. Can't be much worse than Samaras, even if he tries.
