Giovanni Simeone

[scat1620]

Born in Madrid

On the Levy-Signings-Timescale chart, a work permit required as the result of a completed Brexit might still be a factor...

I think he's the guy from northern Italy.
Young, mobile, Argentinian, just had a good season in serie A, lot of potential and looks like he's got a bit of fire like his dad. I can see why Poch would want him.

I think there's room for another striker along with Janssen. Having both on bench would give us two different types of striking options for last 20mins of games.

Looks like a great player to have off the bench, if he brings some insane work rate and develops some natural ability he could be a top top player.

It would be incredible, it's exactly what we haven't been doing for so many seasons.
Additionally, I believe that the initial idea of trying out Janssen and Kane simultaneously, that we saw too little of, might be a very good idea for next season. With a chap on the bench, you can do that.

On FM 2016 we always used to sign him. That's the only reason I've ever heard of him!

 

[Univarn]

The thirst for a new signing and solving the Italy mystery is strong with this one. One tweet and we're off with a bullet. Seems to have exclusively played striker and done fine but not spectacularly.

At our end but rest assured someone at whatever club is selling whoever it is they are selling knows the name of whoever it is they are selling and it follows that other financially interested parties may be made aware too.
I don't know if this is the player but it's interesting that the journalist is apparently quoting a River Plate board agenda rather than just astral sources so to speak.
I guess we'll soon find out.

Well, if nothing else it's a fresh link and a change from clicking on the Ross Barkley thread.

So what kind of dollar are we talking for this kid?

Probably euros.

From the video I just watched he appeared to have good anticipation and movement. Decent finisher and reasonably quick. Could be a very solid squad player.

 

[diamond lights]

Wrong you are, I mentioned him on the 17th during the big guessing game day.

Did you have a clue what you were talking about or just guessing randomly like the rest us?

 

[Hot Spur]

Well northern Italy fits if it is him but the Juventus link was a bit wide of the mark.

 

[arunspurs]

On Googling, just seen his mom (Diego Ex)... 40 & fit !
He will be a hit in PL

 

[diamond lights]

Makes sense. You see links to players and just know it's not our sort of purchase because of age, work ethic etc. but this guy's 22, Argentinian, hard working, can play main striker and off a main striker, good pedigree and probably our budget.

Sort we would be interested in.

If you are asking me whether I had the name of the player from inside the club, the answer is no. If you are asking me whether I had a genuine reason to mention him beyond just dumb luck, the answer is yes.

I posted one post of names during the big guessing bonanza. About 10 serie A players that I personally thought would be very interesting shouts for Spurs, but only a couple of those names were players I seriously thought could be the one. Simeone is definitely one of those couple of players I actually wanted to bring attention to.

Get him signed !

 

[shelfboy68]

Would be nice to get some other itk to back this up.

 

[SlunkSoma]

Guys apparently he was born in Madrid...

 

[agrdavidsfan]

He might not wanna play for his dad.

His father is actually on record as saying he would never want his son in his team due to the fact he thinks he would be to soft or harsh on him and ruin his career
