Simpson to Fenerbahçe?

I'll be back in full force a little later today, but for now a fairly significant Canadian abroad rumour.

Josh Simpson, a player many had kinda forgotten about, appears to be on the radar of Turkish giant Fenerbahçe.

According to the report 1860 Munich is also interested in Simpson (proving that Germany is the most Canada-friendly big league). As much as a move to within sniffing distance to the Bundesliga would seem appealing, playing for Champions League/Europa yo-yo team like Fenerbahçe would probably be ideal for Canadian fans. Playing in the type of environment that the Turkish league can sometimes provide and in games against Europe's top sides (when you aren't a complete no-hoper) should put Simpson front and centre in the future national team plans.

He deserves to be front and center in our plans regardless. His play during the Gold Cup was fantastic (especially the cross he sent in for the goal against CR). I hope to see him in either of our promised two home friendlies next summer.
