Kasim & Simmonds extend deals, Matutu released.

[SE4 GULL]

Kasim and Simmonds have extended their deals with the club (not sure how long for), Luc Matutu has been released.

Andy Whing won't be extending his loan with Leyotn Orient and has returned to the Albion.

Has anyone seen much of Kasim and Simmonds? How did they get on against Crawley?

 

[severnside gull]

Figured when he wasn't in the squad yesterday that Matutu had gone and wondered about Simmonds as he was only on the bench. From the little I've heard Kasim seems to be pretty much first team squad ready. With him and Bridcutt and Navarro we are very well off indeed for defensive midfield cover

Even though Orient won on Monday, Whing looked awful from what I saw on the TV. And if they(Orient) don't want him for the rest of the season I guess its League 2 football for him from now on

 

[severnside gull]

Whingy will be lucky to find a taker tbh. If he is still with us in February I could see us paying off his contract to give him the chance of a move

Saw Kasim yesterday for reserves and he was impressive. Tough in the tackle, sheilded well when in posession, aware and played a nice pass. Big girls blouse wears one of those snood things so not all good....

asabove,watched him 3/4 times now,very comfortable on the ball

Kasim controled the midfield very well yesterday, good accurate passing, looked composed on the ball and a very competent player. Snood and gloves, perhaps trying to out do Baz who was just in gloves. One of the Crawley players said he could not get near the ball yesterday and was very impressed with our passing game, saying it was achieved by good coaching as everyone has to do carry it out to make it a sucess. He asked about four players he thought were good - they were Kasim, Baz, Batty and Dunk

Simmonds was on the bench but played no part.

I've never even heard of Matutu (surely to be known as Des). Where did he come from??

He was a left back from Nante I think, looked okay, I only seem to remember him playing once or twice in the reserves.

 

[Marty McFly]

I'd like to echo what people have said about Kasim yesterday. Looked very assured on the ball. And with the snood and gloves looks flair!!

 

[SNOOBS]

Where'd this Simmonds chap come from?

batty imo wasnt very good,i havent seen him have a good game yet,but along with baz still learning

I believe it was the Aston Villa youth set up.

That looked a nailed on penalty he won running into the box first half, ref perhaps should have booked him for diving!

He has definatly had his moments in games, but Gus has surely brought certain players in with longer term veiws, especially the overseas players who will benefit by playing games like these.

I wonder if he would consider loaning them out so they play regular competitve English footy.

with the two argies,did they just get one year visas? looked a dive at the time,should i been booked,they both just look too lightweight,whereas jamie smith certainly gets stuck in

Im not sure how true it is but I heard they have Italian Passports?

Shame he's gone. If he'd ever played and come out tops in a minor scuffle we all could've sung 'Don't mess with Matutu'.

Or not.

You mean non league football

 

[Sam Ovett]

Simmonds and Kasim excite me...I mean, they came from Villa and Spurs respectively, and if Bridcutt is anything to go by, could turn out to be very good players and become important to our future as a, hopefully, premiership side

Thanks! I'm wiping the tea off of my monitor.
