He's always looked more of a 9 and maybe that was the plan with his signing.That would really be an admission that we screwed up signing Tel.
When THFC announce it officially.Admin what time you unlocking the Simons thread? I think it should be locked until we get the official announcement from the club!!!
I think that’s why we are being linked and looking at HG players like Eze, MGW etc. wouldn’t surprise me if we do bring a lookman or an Ake in if we do bring a player in from now on in.
Guys like Simons will make Bergvall better too. Good players thrive with good players around them. Always thought Bergvall came alive when Madders was playing. Hopefully we can get this over the line and Simons has that same effect on him.
Don’t see where he gets games. He’s so similar to Bergvall, and Sarr will be playing 8 too, And Lolo if Paulinha stays fit.100pc. Said it before, he has a high ceiling and Frank will get the best out of him
Tbh I was planning to take another long break. There’s only so much whinging I can do before I piss myself off and Simons was the one player I wanted us to sign at the start of the window. The obvious Chelsea knife in the back was right there like a fluorescent green dildo dangling from the ceiling.
But some fucking how, they actually signed him and hats off. Never been happier to say I was wrong about the club, they pulled it off this time.
This is the biggest signing this club has made since possibly Klinsmann. Rafa was incredible but his career was on the opposite trajectory. Simons is like signing him when Real did. Above MGW and Eze, this is the best 10 we could possibly have signed this summer.

I dunno what's more likely: that Levy timed all this TODAY to pacify and dampen some of the protests TOMORROW...
. .or organised the rain in North London today & tomorrow for much the same reason!!
No on Fofana. He is extremely raw and we already have Tel/Odobert.Now please got get Savinho or Fofana. Lookman as an alternative I also could live with.
We’re the football connoisseurs and Xavi Simons is as Spurs as it gets IMO.
Give him #7 and get Sonny to record a video handing it on to him.
I’d assume there will be a fair amount of the season when one or two of Sarr, Bent and Berg are unavailable. We always need at least two of those no8 players for each match.Don’t see where he gets games. He’s so similar to Bergvall, and Sarr will be playing 8 too, And Lolo if Paulinha stays fit.

Think we'd need Savio AND a LCB/LB for competition and cover for VdV and Udogie for it to be a 10.Savinho on top of the other signings would take this window to a 10 right?
