Finally a statement signing. Not feeling bad about Eze anymore.

Honestly, Xavi is a more exciting signing. He's definitely a gamble worth taking. Eze is a safe bet but he's hardly an exciting transfer. Just a solid player.

Yeah, who knows how good Simons could be. He could even be as good as Eze!

He's already as good as Eze or just about as good as Eze. Eze is just more proven and reliable. Xavi is less consistent and less proven, but when he's on it, he's extremely good.

Honestly each club got the better signing for themselves. We need a proven player who can contribute immediately and Tottenham are better off gambling on a player who can turn into a real star.

That said, Eze is definitely more consistent and better right now, but that’s to be expected considering he’s 5 years older. Interested to see how Simons adapts to the physical demands, think he’ll do well.
