Lex Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) http://www.football.co.uk/st_mirren/saints_move_for_simonsen_as_adam_departs_rss4240441.shtml According to that article Steve Simonsen is saying we have been in contact with him. Would be a superb signing and is one i tipped last month. Steve has just turned 34, so is pretty much in his goalkeeping prime. He has played over 50 games in the English Premier League for Stoke and Everton and over 100 in the Championship. We obviously need two keepers due to Adam and Sammy departing so would like to see Steve brought in as number 1 and Letheren or similar being brought in as reserve.

insaintee Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Sounds like a plan. Better check with Love Street first. Does he have a brother that plays in midfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liverpool Bud Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Was an excellent keeper at tranmere - was reportedly at one time the most expensive keeper transferred between British clubs when he was part of the PeterJohnson dual interests of clubs (tranmere / Everton) although its dubious whether any money - allegedly 4 million - ever changed hands between the clubs!!!!!

FTOF Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 A keeper of similar quality to Samson, so unless he's ridiculously expensive then he'd be a decent signing. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Black & White Army mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendo Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Steve Simonsen, if he signs, would be a quality addition - he has played well over 300 games at a top level in England, and would, crucially, add experience and organisation to the defence. He is better than both Langfield and Samson. I thought Samson was an average goalie, decent shot stopper most of the time, but poor communication and organisation - these are vital skills for a goalkeeper and I think the reasons we had such a poor defensive record last season was bad communication at the back, together with the frequent fannying about when there was no need to.

Tommy Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Would Simonsen not cost more in wages than Samson ? If so, then it would seem the manager wanted rid of him for some reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted June 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Would Simonsen not cost more in wages than Samson ? If so, then it would seem the manager wanted rid of him for some reason Doubt it. Baring in mind he was playing for Dundee in the final few months of last season, if they can afford him so can we. A 1 year deal would hopefully suit both partes.
