Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
We have been here before..... we need to see him in the shirt......
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.
Honestly, I don't know THAT much about Simons. Bundesliga is a hit or miss. For every Son and De Bruyne, there's a Werner or Sancho. I'd still pick MGW - Eze - Simons, but that's probably my Premier League bias speaking.
(As for the record, Akliouche and especially Paz are better than the 2 mentioned in my opinion, as I said I don't know much about Simons, and Rogers is the best of the lot).
They are best pals by all accounts, we'd be fucking terrifying if we add Savinho.
I want to say yes , but last time I got a boner and said the window was perfect we had signed Lo Celso and N’Dombele . For that reason I would give it a 2 just to be safe
100pc. Said it before, he has a high ceiling and Frank will get the best out of him
Get Tel out there banging in goals.
Odobert has more to offer the first team now and would be a proper understudy to Lookman.
And you all laughed when I started the Simons thread yesterday.
Nothing personal fella, we all have transfer PTSD. None of us wanted more heartbreak.
That would really be an admission that we screwed up signing Tel.
Edit: The way I see it we have at least 2 types of player for each of the forward positions now.
Dribbly winger = Kudus / Odobert / Simons
Non-dribbly winger (less creativity, more inside forward play) = Johnson / Tel
Striker = Richy / Solanke
#10 = Simons / Maddison / Kulusevski (or not play with a specialist 10 and play Sarr there to drive transitions which is reallythe obly alternate to Simons whilst Maddison and Kulu are injured).
Against park th ebus teams we could play a trio of Kudus, Simons and Odobert behind the CF and let them all swap places an ddrift where th egaps are.
Still badly need left sided defensive cover (hoping the Vuskovic loan going through means that’s on the way).
Also still have misgivings about the process — doesn’t seem like we had a real plan or underlying recruitment strategy other than bouncing from obvious, high profile target to obvious, high profile target.
But yes, in terms of where the squad was at the start of the summer and where it is now (or hopefully will be after the next 72 hours), I am very pleased with the outcomes.
I mean us targeting a left sided player already shows that.

what time you unlocking the Simons thread? I think it should be locked until we get the official announcement from the club!!!
I think Pep has lost his aura and the board are now not allowing him to allow players to leave,
Romano has gone hard. He knows he's looked a bit of a mug a few times this window.
There'd be no way back for his reputation if this isn't true IMO.
Amazing that AI can create such an accurate fake of a complex human being body but turns Chelsea Football Club into Chelsea Doctrall Gorb in the background.
These robots ain't taking over just yet.
Sssssh! Stop giving them feedback
