When is Xavi due back? Maddison isn’t a bad option though. So long as Xavi and or Kulu make it back sooner rather than later. Maddison is good in shorter spells. He’s also a bit light weight and I feel at his best when playing a run of circa 10 games. After that he seems to fall off maybe. Kulu is or was the most robust, really hope he makes it back! 💪
He did his ACL at Wolves away so wont be back until near end of season, same timeline as Maddison i would think.
 
Xavi too weak to have meaningful impact in the PL. cant see him getting 23 G/A across all comps

People said the same things about Modric after his first season. Not comparing the two, but it’s hard to properly judge Simons on last season, young and new in a country and team that is not playing to his strengths and underperforming as a whole. I can see him thriving in a functioning system. Out until February or so, though, so maybe we’ll get someone in.

Modric' quality was clear as day to see back then, and he was never getting shoved off the ball, stopping play and crying for free kicks all the time.

Modric' floor was never as low as ive seen from Xavi, who I like btw but frustrates the life out of me. strangely enough, the moment he done his ACL at wolves, it was at that moment that I knew we'd stay up, without him dingdonging about in midfield.
