This isn\u2019t some old, overpriced Arsenal worshipper. This is a young, proven talent, about to enter his prime years. We deserve this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kim McCauley made the observation: &#8220;Xavi Simons rules and he should have been Tottenham&#8217;s primary target from the start. Cannot believe they fell ass backwards into the perfect signing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dr Nazreel had this to say: &#8220;Expect Chelsea fans to go crazy when Xavi Simons starts balling in Tottenham.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Agenda turned the knife, by saying: &#8220;Chelsea has been following Xavi Simons for nine years just to lose him to Spurs. Crazy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But Chelsea fan Bella had a different view on how the transfer has panned out: &#8220;You will not convince me that Tottenham hijacked Simons from Chelsea lol. The club didn\u2019t want him badly enough.
