Tyreece Simpson to West Brom - Done? 15:10 - Jun 15 with 7198 viewsSTYG

Appears to be a picture of him online training in West Brom gear.

Given he's under contract with us still but wanting to leave and is from Ipswich and therefore not likely to be an Albion fan, I assume this means something has been sorted?

The options seem to be that he's either been sold to West Brom (presumably he can't just be training with them as nobody is back for pre-season yet) and it'll be announced shortly, he's decided to throw some Albion gear on to create a stir (which seems unlikely), the image has been photoshopped (which doesn't look likely from the resolution of it, would be a hell of a lot of time and effort dedicated to someone to do) or it's an Albion player that looks a bit similar where someone has claimed it's Simpson (some Albion fans have commented and none seem to be suggesting it's actually a player they already have and not Simpson and are discussing him being one for the future)

Any of those who follow him online, or are in the know, have anything on this as if it's genuine then it's got to be announced soon as can't see Simpson going that early on this, even if he is supposed to wait a bit longer to confirm.

He's from up that way, went to Langley School. Have asked the club whether there's any to be taken from it but don't think there's anything to be read into it.


Thanks.

Maybe he's just a WBA fan then after all.

Wiki says he's from Ipswich, so wasn't aware of any connections.

Looking at their testimonials, Rakeem Harper is one of them, plenty of the others are Leicester or Peterborough players or ones like Assambalonga that have WBA, Leicester or Posh connections.

So quite likely they have connections with clubs in that area after all and it was some gear knocking about.

Nonetheless, seems odd for SImpson to post the image when he's contracted to us, even if he does want to leave.


He's just a kid though - now with a track record of being churlish on social media, so it's not really that odd.

That means an announcment is imminent then


No West Brom interest in Simpson TWTD understands.

Simpson has simply stocked up on some end of season sale bargains from Classic Football Shirts.

He's just thought "I'm doing some training work and I fancy putting it on my socials", is that really so odd? Probably didn't even cross his mind that people would cause a fuss about it.

Bit on his background here. Says he's a Man City fan for anyone wondering whether he's a West Brom supporter.

Wonder whether the West Brom kit is one he had from the various trials he mentions.

I don't think he put it on there anyway, BAS training did and tagged him

People who get paid lots of money to work for Adidas won't usually take photos of them in Nike gear and people who get paid a lot to work for Audi probably don't arrive at work in BMW's.

Professional footballers are very rarely photographed in the attire of a completely different club and it's not as if they are not given guidance on social media as clubs presumably don't want their Phil equivalents contracting them for comment every time they go to the gym wearing another clubs colours.

As a reserve team footballer for a League One club I'm sceptical that you'd get a lot of heavy discipline about commercial image rights...

True... but then last summer Woolfie was wandering round Southwold in a Man U shirt, even weirder was he was with a lad in a Copa shirt. Grumpy footballers will do performative things to wind up fans is I guess the moral of that story at least. In TS's case I'm with Joe, I think it's just the kit that was to hand for a personal trainer sesh.

Q3. Langley school between West Brom and Dudley does exist, but I thought he went to school in Norfolk, did he had a sports scholarship at Langley private school?

Yes, I believe he did, for rugby rather than football, see post below.

Would be an odd move for someone who wants 1st team football. Also I'm not convinced that is the WBA badge.

As expected, nothing in it, just wearing the kit. Seems he may have been on the wind-up.

Who cares where he goes as long as we get some money for him. He scored a few goals for Swindon and all of a sudden he thinks he’s Mbappe.

Wolf is a Man Utd fan which is probably far weirder than him wearing the shirt.

I know he's a young lad but he does seem to enjoy getting bites from fans. Social media fans can be toxic, but our fanbase would have no issue with him if he wanted to leave and the majority would wish him well or probably not care at all. However he does seem to be playing up to it like removing all posts about ITFC, removing being an ITFC player in his bio etc. It's not like McKenna/Ashton is going to get insulted by it.

It was posted by the trainer not Simpson.
The reality is the reverse, some people love to get angry at young footballers.

On a related note, seems not unlikely Charlton might show interest now Ben Garner is manager. As per previous reports, Luton, Peterborough and Barnsley all interested.
