If this is true I would only agree to a deal if we can sign Simpson on a permanent deal.

For a cut fee sir pie?

Well how much do we think Simpson is worth? As he's under 24 the final decision would be made by a committee on his actual worth but if the deal reported for Sterling is £750k then there is no way that we would have to pay any more than £1.5m to get Simpson???

[WeAreQPR12]

I think Simpson must be worth around 2 million.
However I was hoping more than 750k thats 750k pound sterling!
It will be good for his career as I don't think at the age of 15 it would of been right to of played him in the 1st team in what is a very agressive and competitve league.
He doesn't have a rooney frame and it is a huge step up playing senior football at ANY level and I should know playing football for many years.

John Bostock did it at 15. If you've got the skill and speed - your body shape is less of a major consideration.

There are many 15 year olds who have started in our league. As Nodge points out Bostock is one prime example. And he is tearing it up for brentford apparently. (Only 2 games mind)

I would rather he went to Arsenal if oit was a cash + players on loan deal or maybe even a swap deal involving Simpson.

Choices for players on loan could include;
a left back (Cruise or Traore)
and one other striker if they have any to spare
midfielder options if QPR decide not to proceed with Watson & Reid, are Henri Lansbury or Mark Randall a defensive midfielder.

If he keeps scoring who knows what Arsenal will want for him, i'd back the rumors of Sterling going to Arsenal and i think its been that way for quite some time. Arsenal were interested in him last year before anyone really herd of him. And i think he wants the Arsenal switch to.

Real shame about him but realistically we are small fry to someone with that kind of potential. He can go to a big club with better facilities, money etc. Yes it is a risk in terms of 'making it' at that club but as we have seen they tend to get loaned out and can make their name elsewhere if need be. Nothing much to lose.

On the plus side by staying with a club like us he can continue to develop and have a far better chance of getting into our first team. If he turns out to be half as good as his potential he will no doubt earn a big money move in time anyway.

The lengths to which the big boys go to attract young talent is scandalous and a sad reflection on modern ethics. I have a mate who was interviewed by Manure for youth coaching and they are literally everywhere trying to get or poach decent young players.

[W6hoops]

i think if he goes it will be a complete waste of talent. It would be a step down for him to go anywhere else. Rangers is the TEAM to be at and Shepherds bush is the only place to be....................
Seriously if he`s that good then the club should do what they can to keep him, or unless they get offered too much money for him, then so be it
