My brother, we are paying Simons 10m a year for 5 years but could be up to 7.

This is by far the buggest transfer commitment in ENIC history…club history.

And as it should be, that’s what it takes to get players like this. Let’s give the club credit for it, instead of pretending we got him on the cheap.

Ndombele was £200kpw (10.4m p/a).... Cost £63 (not euros)...... 6 year deal

Basically the same.

He’s always had that talent too. If anything, his career decisions look like green flags to me.

Leaving Barca for PSG was bad advice to a child.

PSG to PSV was very smart. Showed he was humble enough to know he needed to play.

RBL similar deal. Went to a place to play and build his profile at the same time as his game.

My guess is that in his head, he will be thinking Spurs for 4 years until he’s 28, try and win things, reach his peak as a legit world class player then see if Barca or Real come knocking.

And I’ll say this now, I’d be fine with that because he’d need to really kill it here to reach that level. Shows me he’s focused on his goals and ready to put the work in to get there. Exactly what you want at your club.

22 + 4 = 26 :cool:

I also must say, I'm a bit concerned about sarr.

Plenty of games and all that, but he's been really showing incredible promise and looks to be breaking out. Especially further up as under frank.

Suddenly it's crowded, especially if we get rogers and Maddison comes back.

Sarr isn’t going to play at #10, he’ll be able to play #8 now with Simons here.

Xavi played a left sided #10 in Leipzig’s 4-2-2-2, if we did get Rogers which seems extremely unlikely, I could see Simons playing a bit like Eriksen used to on the left when Dele was central.

I want him to score, assist but also help out defensively. And show leadership qualities on & off the field. All that on a consistent basis.

He's got that in him, just needs to show it. Also on TF and the rest of the squad to support him.
