Player Xavi Simons

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Still play him in the 10. The best we've looked this season was still second half vs Brighton when he came on and played 10. Put him back on corners too, Kudus keeps doing these fucking skyball hoofs to the back post. They are shit.
I would, he has already shown moments magic, that I can't see any other player we have do that.

Xavi gives me good feelings.

We really need to be patient. The ceiling of this team is so high.

But only if we are looking at getting the quality we need to fill the gaps especially down the left.
 
What annoys me most is that as a club we probably don't sign him if Maddison was fit.
And yet I think we need Maddison fit to get the best out of Xavi.

I think they'd work pretty well as a duo behind someone like RKM or Solanke.
 
?????
Makes no sense.

The premier league is totally different to any other league and I'd imagine adjusting your playing style to fit is pretty hard to do, especially in a position of tactical importance like the 10 role, he isnt daft and I'm sure he will adapt sooner or later.
He has a particular skill set no one else has in the team and |'m sure he will flourish.
 
What a ridiculous post.
What does "there are circumstances beyond his control and the context of last season, the players around" mean?
Oh really, so he strolled in to a free flowing side, that never finished 17th, losing 22 last season, also in a team that not only lost a manager to his incompetence, but also the CEO Levy for his incompetence, who had been in charge for 25 years, leaving team that has no real depth, a barely functioning left hand side, and no strikers of any substance, and an attack that is clearly struggling, with great, but in uncreative DM, and Bentancur, who is nowhere near his pre injury highs.

All the while, trying to adapt to a new league, in this mess of a team...

And you want to put unessassry pressure on him to pull his finger out...

The guy can take as long as he wants, he is clearly class, but the circumstances around him are beyond his control, and like everything else at the club, it's a waiting game.

But nah, adding a bit nuance to thing is far beyond some people and nothing seems to make sense to them.
