People are overrating Simons massively on here and on social media in general. He’s good but he does have bad games.. many of them too. The jury is still out on him for me.

I feel that aswell. He has gained plenty of social media attention, he had some good periods at PSV and Leipzig, but never consistent nor outstanding.

If he was some random Polish guy I think he would not be so well known.

 

But let's see. I am not convinced we need another attacking winger, even if George leaves, we seem too packed. But I'd accept anyone over Garnacho, let there be many players and strong ones prevail.

Chelsea are now asking for an upfront payment of €25m for 50% of João Félix’s economic rights.

Nicolas Jackson has been added to the list of attacking targets at Newcastle!

He'll be a guaranteed starter and if all goes well, he won't be there long with all eyes on him in the Prem.

Seems like a smart move on his behalf, tbh.

This was definitely the case in eras past. But in this current era of the PL where almost every club can demand £100m+ for their prized assets it’ll be much more difficult to use someone like Everton as a stepping stone. 

You’re probably right that in terms of game time it would be a decent move for him. But his agent better secure a release clause if he’s going to be as amazing as some people says he could be in the future.

Wissa is more like Wilson replacement. Surely if they get 130m for Isak they won't just replace him with 25 or 30m player. We are talking Champions League participant here. They lack numbers in attack either way. 

Anyways, nice to see Cucurella and Enzo vacationing together and making Paella 🥘 😍

I feel someone like DCL would be Wilson's replacement. Wissa only scored four goals fewer than Isak in the league, btw.

Seems like people are forgetting he was a PSG player for three years, and they were still happy to let him go. I understand people can not shine at one team & flourish elsewhere, but I feel his time there should be insightful.

Rogers & Yildiz are far more appealing to me.

Unlike years ago, player power is crazy. If he delivers and top sides come after him, clubs can't really do anything.

All you need to do is look at the Isak situation (three years left on his contract).

That's the thing. Over 130m for Gittens and Simons and I can easily see them not starting. So no pressure which is great thing.

If you exclude penalties, they have scored the same amount of goals last season.

He wanted to leave that's why they sold him, also he could've gone to Bayern but he rejected them to go back to Leipzig.

Simons to me is a better player than Rogers. That's my opinion. Yildiz is good but we should only sign the number of attackers that we can provide them competitive game-time. It looks silly stockpiling good players and not playing them because they are way too many in the squad. Imagine the number of attackers we have already set for next season and we are still linked to more. It doesn't make any sense.

Would love Yildiz here but Juve will surely do their upmost to keep him. Such a shame. He’s an absolute baller.

coin flip between Yıldız and Rogers

would LOVE either one here

Rodrygo a cunt hair behind those 2, the more I ponder it

1. We want Hato and Simons. 

2. Both desperate to join us. 

3. Ajax and Leipzig selling clubs. 

Where is the danger of failing?

Every once in a while I post about my amazement that all pro footballers aren't two-footed. The fact that Yildiz is puts him at the top of my new winger wish list.

Huijsen being ambipedal was a huge plus for me at CB as well

but

Real Madrid came calling 😕

For him and Sterling i'd be happier with.

He wanted to leave because he couldn't break into their team?

I will do a dance if we get £20-25m for Sterling AND not have to pay anything more salary-wise (hello KSA)

From being linked to Chelsea, Liverpool, and Bayern to David Moyes’s Everton. Yikes! Surely he can do better than that?

 

you all will think me daft

BUT

do not sleep on Everton this season if they get their targets into the fold

not saying they will be top7 or 8

but they may well be a decent club

I had to watch a couple of full matches Simons played last season. Mehn he is strikes the ball cleanly. 

As for Estaveo, how is he able to generate regular accurate long range shots with his tiny legs.

Gittens, Simons, Estaveo, Palmer, Delap, Pedro all have ability to shoot accurately outside the box. Opponents especially low blocks are in for a shower next season.
