Xavi Simons

[Gumzy97]

He's different to Wirtz, Wirtz can break a defence with a through ball out of no where, Xavi glides with the ball, but is more known for the small passes in behind not defence splitting passes from midfield like Wirtz. Some of Xavi simons goals compared to Wirtz show better technical ability that's another difference

I must have watched a different player. I honestly don't get the hype with this lad, and barring one good season in the Dutch league, his stats hardly blow your socks off.

Me either

9 goals and 7 assists in 24 games this season. Fairly decent id say. One less goal than Wirtz in 6 less games.

Exactly fairly decent, nothing special. Whenever I've seen him he's never really impressed me at all. Scored a worldie against England in the Euros then completely disappeared in that game.

Seems like the majority on here don't rate him lol.

Same.

 

[samuelyeboah]

I rate him. i'll be happy enough if we get him should we not manage to get wirtz

Same.

the majority on here wouldnt rate pele unless there was a youtube video and a social media campaign telling them that they were indeed a great player.

David Silva vs Kevin De Bruyne

Either mould could fill the need imo

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Top player.

 

[skillman]

You’d imagine easier to get than Wirtz and a lot cheaper. But obviously not on our radar. Yet.

Most likely 2nd choice if not third. Also he wants to be an absolute starter . He isn’t THAT good. A bit behind Wirtz and Cherki in my opinion

 

[Sunset]

this kid is really good. His ball carrying is obscene like david silva. not sure how good is through balls are thats were wirtz probably has him outclassed.

Got a really good shot on him too some yaya KDB winners in his dna for sure.

 

[bhayes]

He is not a bad player but I don't see how he will fit our system. I think foden is similar and better and look how we are using foden and how his season is going

 

[samuelyeboah]

has to be the alternative

 

[richards30]

Simons now on a quick deal?

The thing I like with Simons that he is super versatile. He can fight with Foden for offensive midfielder but he can also nail down a place on a wing. If we play low blocks he can even play the role that Reijnders will probably be given.

 

[Gumzy97]

He’s more David silva than Kev. Different playstyle. But he’d do well here

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

I expect to see this link again sharpish

 

[samuelyeboah]

He’s more David silva than Kev. Different playstyle. But he’d do well here

And the current team is yearning for david silva

started out as a deep lying playmaker in la masia, you can see he has a nice bit of Silva/Xavi in his game

Reminds me of Fabregas
