Xavi Simons

[Horatio]

He lacks in physicality. But interesting to see how this will pan out.

 

[Porque]

What happened in the last hour for everyone to see this as a done deal?

Did he tell Messigician about it on Discord?

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

Felix replacement probably. Upgrade if that is the position in mind for him.

Replacing a player with a worse player?

 

[Messi983]

@Fati_Future_BallonDor at his respectful age of 94 would be a more useful player than Joao Felix.

 

[TheStig]

He seems a lot stronger, faster and consistent than Cou/Felix.

 

[Andresito]

PSG will not put obstacles to Xavi Simons' loan destination, including Barcelona. Barça are fully aware of this, and it all looks good. @RogerTorello

 

[HanDW]

He's tailor-made for that pseudo left wing role that Xavi tried with Felix this season. Far better dribbler, actual transition threat and stronger in duels, also has a lot more personality than Joao who just doesn't care 90% of the time.

But not talent

But not talent

Good thing talent alone means shit, take Raphinha for example, doesnt have half of Joao's "talent" or "magic" yet is a way better player and 100 times more useful for us that Felix would ever be.

sadly true

Would be childish if they do so.

Simmons could glue us more together. Playing with bunch of them already in younger categories could mean more chemistry, which even xavi maybe couldnt take from them

 

[companyofcules]

I didn't had the power to comment on this Serpentine but No.
He went from.us for money as the new Ronaldinho and Cr7 combined on youtube etc.
He flopped, he can fuck off!
I get the club is desperate after Xavi's transfers and missing Endrick but he is just a decent player that betrayed the club.

 

[companyofcules]

And we are now the satellite of PSG after the satellite of City? Go to South America and Spain and start looking for young talents.

Xavi is not far from Felix in mentality, he was a media star turned flop for a reason.
Why should we use our hype machine to get him on a life line for PSG!?

 

[companyofcules]

What's the expection here? Decent to good squad player? That's the best case I see.

Not sure why people talk about him potentially being a game changer for us.

Get the job of Deco
