£60m definitely isn’t overpaying for Simons, he’s a snip at that price, especially when you consider his age and potential.

He’s one of the best players we’ve had links to this summer, including Eze and MGW. He’s twice the player Eze was at the same age, fuck, he’s as good a player, if not slightly better just now.

In his last 3 seasons, he’s had 19, 25 & 33 goals and assists. Nothing desperate about paying £60m for that.

Can he make the step up to the PL though?

70 million for Simons...Too much money for this (young) guy and salary demands will be enormous. :levyhands:

He is talented and showed he's skills in the Dutch Eredivisie. But: avoid dueling and his workrate - defensive - is bad. He is a kind of lazy '10' and what Frank showed in his first matches everybody most full 90 minutes. Also in the national team he is at most a reserve.

Haven't you heard...we're desperate, absolutely desperate.

You've traumatised me with that post.

When I was 14 or so we went on a week-long class trip from Norfolk across the country to Gloucestershire, the highlight of which was due to be Symonds Yat and the astonishing tsunami that would course down the River Severn, the mythical Severn Bore.

That, and of course, we would all lose our schoolboy cherries in a week-long sexfest.

Of the latter, not the vaguest of sniffs.

Of the former, I remember being dragged out of bed at 5 am, getting on a bus and going to the middle of nowhere. Somebody was sick. Once there we waited for an hour and a half as the teacher finally admitted he'd got the time wrong.

Eventually the miraculous tidal wave powered down the river to the amazement of us all. Well, not quite. It was about five inches, if that, over the normal water level.

We got back on the bus and went back to the youth hostel. Somebody was sick.

A Tottenham transfer window doesn't seem quite so bad remembering all that.

Yessh indeed....how topical though when this is our 3rd attempt and Symonds Yat straddles 3 counties?

When you go to the supermarket and buy your food do you thank the CEO of whichever supermarket you use for stocking corn flakes , or whatever your chosen breakfast is . Of course you don’t it’s his job to make sure the organisation is providing what it is meant to . I might well thank the member of staff who told me where the kitchen roll is, but thanking the CEO would be super weird . Which is why the praise him or apologise narrative if he gets something right is so strange .

TBH I do worry the Prem might be too physical for him. Early days, but Wirtz, who is a similar profile and build, look's lost atm.
