what do you base that on?
What do I base Simons being a central player on?Is this a serious question?

Watching him for Leipzig and the fact that every single bit of reporting and writing about him mentions him as a central attacking midfielder. Oh and the fact that we literally haven’t got a single fit CAM until January with both Madders and Kulu crocked. He was very very clearly signed to play centrally not on the wing, though perhaps he could play an Eze-esque wing fielder role in a 3-4-2-1.

Aside from that I made it up.
 
You can't blame the minnow for being eaten by a bigger fish. Palace aren't financially in a position to spurs huge sums from clubs like Liverpool and woolwich. Life as the manager at clubs like Palace is about developing the next big star that can be sold off. They're, arguably, the 6th biggest club in London alone...you don't sign up to manager there and get the hump because a player was sold - of course they were.

This isn't the point.

The point is selling Guehi (their captain) on the last day of the window and not replacing him, that's why he kicking off it looks like and he's completely within his rights, anyone would do the same thing

25% of the time he didn't play on the left. 11% of the time, he played in the middle. That must have been when you were watching him then. If that's the case, fair enough, I can see why you'd think that but come on. Opta isn't like the BBC using line ups for these stats. It's based on heat maps
 
Tbh our squad quality now is near peak poch team imo. Upto Frank now to make them cohesive and play well. I'm quite pleased where we are atm.
If this is the level of intent we are going to show going forward then I’m happy , I don’t mean just about money spent but we are signing quality players , if we can do the same again in January and next summer then we will be in a very good position
 
24/25 at Leipzig.

17 games at LW. (5G, 4A)
15 at CAM. (6G, 4A)
1 at SS.

23/24.

24 at LW (4G, 7A)
17 at RW (7G, 7A)
2 at CAM (2A)

Are you saying title winning Xabi Alonso is wrong to have used him more at LW than AM??
Xabi Alonso coached Leverkusen you absolute weapon, you clearly just googled this and are way out of your depth.

Simons played LAM in a 4-2-2-2, and was clearly their central creative force if you actually watched Leipzig play, which again, you’ve just established that you clearly fucking haven’t.

This place is a joke.

Mate, I think the 2 signings in the last few days seem good. Time will tell. I don't do overboard.

But let's not allow our minds to disappear into a world of maze and mystery.

Peak Pochettino would absolutely be right with Woolwich and Liverpool as title favourites. It was simply that bloody good

I am not sure who in this squad gets into the peak Pochettino squad.
