Tyreece Simpson is reported to be a loan target of former Blues boss Paul Cook’s Chesterfield, however, TWTD understands Town have received no approach for the 20-year-old striker.

Simpson, who is back at Portman Road having scored 11 goals while on loan with League Two Swindon in the first half of the season, is said to be wanted by Cook but with other National League sides also keen.

National League clubs are able to sign players on loan outside the transfer window and it would be little surprise if Cook were to show interest in some of Town’s talented U23s with the likes of Simpson, Cameron Humphreys and Tawanda Chirewa having enjoyed impressive seasons.

However, we understand the Blues have received no approach from Cook for any of their players and no other club is currently showing firm interest in Simpson.

Whether that situation changes before the National League deadline in late March remains to be seen.

Chesterfield remain second in the National League table despite having drawn one and lost two since Cook returned as boss on February 10th.

mojo added 10:27 - Feb 25 It would be a backward step for him given he has already proved himself at League 2 level to some degree. A real shame he couldn't continue his development at Swindon which would seem to have been best for all parties, whatever the circumstances we don't fully know about.

chorltonskylineblue added 11:12 - Feb 25 @mojo - think you're underestimating the National League. Lots of league players have dropped down there this season as money and standard is good. Just ask Bolton who lost to a decent Stockport side in the FA Cup (didn't stop Bolton taking 6 points off us). Simpson needs competitive football and National League is a hell of a lot more competitive than our U23s. I'm all for it if it's the right move for Simpson. He'd need a good chance of game time.

ringwoodblue added 13:52 - Feb 25 Personally I'd rather see Simpson in our first team rather than loaning him out again to Chesterfield or anyone else. He needs good coaching and McKenna/Pert or Dyer/McGreal are the best men to give him that.

johnwarksshorts added 14:32 - Feb 25 You're spot on Ringwoodblue, I think he's good enough to be given ago in our team, you never know he might be needed as currently our strikers aren't exactly banging in the goals.

Linkboy13 added 16:16 - Feb 25 McKenna doesn't think he's good enough and he sees him day in day out and i value his opinion above anybody else's end of story.

Bergholtblue added 19:22 - Feb 25 I still do not understand the reason for bringing him back from Swindon. He was doing really well there and liked by staff and fans alike. What was the point of bringing him back just to play for the U23s? The conspiracy theorist in me is going haywire because the club have not made any comment or reason.

ArnieM added 21:47 - Feb 25 Never impressed with a young player who throws his toys out of the pram when he can't get what he wants …. Simpson appears to have had his head turned …

abandon_hope1978 added 21:17 - Feb 26 Either McKenna feels Simpson not ready for 1st team or Simpson/ Simpson's agent made demands and McKenna showing them who's boss, Simpson is not playing any time soon.
