Swedish press reporting that AIK (Seb Larssons old club) are in contact with Xavier Simons about a transfer

https://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbla...re-tagit-kontakt-med-hull-citys-xavier-simons

Quick translation

"According to Sportbladets information, a transfer from The Championship in England might be on the way. It's regarding the 21 year old midfielder Xavier Simons, that AIK are considering bringing in.

A first contact between the clubs is reported to have taken place and discussions are ongoing, but nothing is confirmed as of yet, but the upcoming days should give us more information regarding if a transfer of the Englshmen is possible"

FFS ANYONE but AIK the ****s them <laugh>
 
Genuinely stunned. He’s a duel machine, excellent ball carrier, line breakers the lot. Press resistant. Easily a £10m midfielder

We could probably fund a good set of new players if/when we come to sell Hughes, Belloumi, Puerta and Alzate
To break a rule,
a sixth place finish would have seen us play perpetual play off successes Leeds :emoticon-0136-giggl, then Southampton at Wembley. In the last ten games Southampton gained one more point than us, lost three of their last four on the spin and won their last match
at already guaranteed third place finishers Leeds.
I'm guessing we'd have won the play offs, you're guessing we wouldn't have.
Abridged version, anything© can happen in the play offs.

That is definitely all.

And Norwich and West Brom were in decent form (Norwich especially), how did they get on?
 
I think he looks more dynamic. He looks very strong, will likely play more advanced in the Slater/Puerta role pressing high
Assuming Simons leaves I imagine he will take his role in being able to slot in either as the holding midfielder or in slater/puerta’s place. You’d imagine to a much higher standard.

Long term Zambrano replacement perhaps?
