Depends on the game and circumstances. He’s not slower or faster than Maddison
He can contribute a lot more than he has since Tudor arrived

Well to me it is difficult to compare Maddison and Xavi pace alone. Might not be faster.
But it is clear that one can produce goals and assists and other cannot.
At his best Xavi was maybe producing 1/3 of needed level. Either it is 1/3 or 1/10th - both are tragically short of what is needed.
Ditto.
I think he needs to see a fit zmaddison doing what he does,because he has no club model to work off.
Even then, I'm not sure he is better than Hackney of Middlesbrough..
I think he's talented but he's not a fighter.
Low ceiling high floor kind of player.
Don't think that's fair.....
He is doing as well as Wirz who cost twice as much
Hopefully we stay up, settle down as a club and employ a new manager who advocates a more progressive style of football and then players like Simons will have a better chance to thrive.
Haven't see much of it from him all season personally.
Hard to assess. Look at Wirtz. Hardly set the place on fire.
Then look at the bar of previous. De Bruyne the leader, followed by the likes of Eriksem etc. Madisson in the group below.
Our current situation befuddleds the mind and makes it harder to judge.
In a competitive squad who knows. As the expectant creator in his first season with us it's been too much for Simons. No doubt about that.
Fairer/better to judge at the end of next season. Could go either way is my view.
Better than all but Hackney I have seen in the Championship, but we need PL quality.

In fairness he was getting stuck in at the start of the season but just seems a bit lost now. Probably best atm that he's on the bench but hoping he can get some confidence back which is why i'd start him against atletico. Hoping we can avoid defeat in that much to get a bit more momentum even if we do go out of the competition.
Indeed , take away the price tag and the profile and to be honest, he looks kinda shit
Alas the team has been extremely poor this season, unable to string together a basic attacking pattern so who knows how he'd perform in a better side. But for now he isn't the guy to drag people up to his standards, or turn a game off his own back
Have in some games.... Just think he struggles to impose himself sometimes. Not entirely suprising considering the whole team has been dysfunctional and negative since he arrived.
We'll know more next season.
We wont if we get relegated and he leaves. Hopefully, the international break away with holland will do him some good and he can play a part for us this season.
Seems to have natural talent on the ball but not much in the way of footballing intelligence. Never picks the correct time to pass or shoot.
If you're ignoring his pricetag; then why should he be expected to do that? .......He's 22 and physically outmatched a lot of the time.
