Xavi Simons genuinely reminds me of Madders, a 10 who likes to take full creative responsibility in build-up, picking the ball up off the centre half and orchestrating attacks.

Both super shifty and quick, using their low centre of gravity and excellent ball striking. Sure they’re small and not particularly elite athletes but much stronger than they look and absolutely fearless.

Best possible Maddison replacement.

Seems awesome, even though leagues are different.

But I mean... even without further reinforcement. I can fucking imagine us going to Emirates Shithouse in EPL... with lineup of Vicaro, Spence, VDV, Romero, Porro, Palhinha, Bentancur, Sarr, Simons, Richie, Kudus - all in peak physical conditions and top form and fucking smash them.

I mean this said lineup has it all - lot of (positive) cuntyness, lot of strength, lot of pace, lot of passion!

If this happens officially....

We have done precisely the same thing to Chelsea with Simmons that Woolwich did to us with Eze.. Chelsea were spending a long time wrapping up this deal even though all the reports said that he was their priority in that position.. Then within 48 hours we swoop in...

Will it be reported as such? Will it be "haha Chelsea, no one wants to join you" in the way that we got... Of course it won't.

You misunderstand, that's the point....

Eze & Maddison wouldn't be 'moving a dial' if they genuinely wanted to be here.... They didn't, and in Eze's case, it sounds like he'd have had to be gagged and bound and FORCED to play for us... Hardly a glowing endorsement that he'd bleed Blue & White!

Simons clearly had other options, possibly more lucrative options (as we're continuously told about what EVERY OTHER club apartt from Spurs can offer!)
But he chose to play his football, and further his career at Tot-Ten-Ham!

No guns, no ransom notes, no Jedi mind games!

He's here cos he WANTS to play for us, and that Speaks volumes.... (In addition to the vast salary he'll be getting.... But at least it's OUR salary!)


Judging by the look of him and those delightful little dimples, THAT could take some time!!!!

Forget who wants to be here, who doesn't and who is being held captive... look at the players... are you telling me MGW and Eze don't move the dial... seriously... and even if we do look at all the non football related stuff... Simons has been holding out for the Chavs for the entire window so I would question whether he really CHOSE us... the likely scenario is that he is left with us or staying at RB. Hardly a ringing endorsement that he is going to bleed lilywhite when he is on the pitch.
 
Odd to point out a player at another club is shit. Before Frank got here most of our squad was shit last year.
If Frank wants a player and we get it done I say give it some time. See what Frank can do with the players.

Yeah it's almost like they're not the same thing.
 
Ake scores goals. Has been part of title winning teams and offers backup to LCB and LB.

If money is being spent on the LW, a loan for Ake or a cheaper bid makes sense.

He’s a title winning back up player.
