We didn't try to sign him first.
I wonder why ?
He wanted to join Chelsea

He’ll be much better once he practices his weight of passing , especially the 5 yard ones .

That's what I meant, he was about our 15th attempt to sign a midfielder.
I wonder why he was so far down on our list ?
maddison can come back with one leg and take his place back.
not sure what simons is actually meant to be? whats his strengths? hes lacking ability and physicality. so many of his passes are poor, if youre that lacking in physicality you need to be one hell of a technician and he aint even that! cant beat a man, cant pick a lock, cant do anything against men.
hope he isnt here long, the longer he is the more value we lose when selling him on, best to admit defeat and get what we can back.

I hope he will come good under a different manager
He's shown flashes of his ability

A proper manager would come in and boot half of this squad in an instant, I've honestly never seen us with a bigger assembly of over rated, over priced , self inflated useless dross.

But he wasn't 15th. He was always high on the list just in case the Chelsea move didn't happen
MGW, Eze, Paz and Simons were the 4 heavily linked in the summer
So who did we try to sign first ?
Have a long , hard think about it before you answer, it's not a trick question.

You tell me
Eurotrash. Not fast enough, not quick enough up top, sluggish, needs to move to the Dutch league to find a pace that suits him.
Sell him ASAP before his value goes down to what it should be, about £8m

Pretty poor today yet again.
I'm just blindly hoping with a better manager and system we can bring out his Leipzig form.
He needs to be doing better in general but our attacking play has been abysmal in open play from the day Frank arrived so maybe under a manager that doesn't base their entire attacking play around Porro lumping into the box he'll look like the player we need him to be.

He’s shit.There’s no fix for that.
The other week people were wanking over him for being slightly less shit than normal. You just have to stop doing that.

You can't stop us wanking, Tony.
Simons looks like a footballer who’s been stuck in a pub team
He’d smash it elsewhere .
The only bright spark in this entire fucking team

this is the biggest problem! you cant be a 10 if you cant execute simple through balls
It’s wild. He just switches off.
Forget thru balls. He can’t hit a basic 5 yard pass
