    Im Dutch, and Gimenez is fantastic. I've seen many big strikers in the Eredivisie like Ibrahimovic, Luis Suarez, Van Nistelrooy, Huntelaar, Van Persie and I think Gimenez can be as good as them!

    I think Cuah is hating. No one is overhyping Santi at all , the man is just backing his performances. 7 games 12 goals 2 assist at the moment. Last season he had 15 goals in 32 games , that’s a big jump in numbers. If this man scores 30+ goals this season alone , he’ll definitely be the prospect we all think he is. Cuah has never been to Europe and thinks he knows what he’s saying 🫠

      But players like Ronaldo, Zlatan, Van Persie, Suarez etc succeeded in Eredivisie a long time ago now. Let's be real here. Most of the young top scorers from the last 10-12 years failed outside of Eredivisie. Vincent Jansen, Castaignos, Altidore, Matavz, Finnbogason and Bony (except for first season in Swansea) have this in common. Sure, some attackers also had decent records in other leagues, but haven't seen many of those super strikers since Suarez left Ajax. With all that said, I think Gimenez can be an exception. It's still hard to tell. He is playing in a team dominating the league (with PSV atm) and he fits in very well in the system Feyenoord plays, has player around him he connects with really well etc. Really hope he is going to make it!

    Blanco is correct, the Dutch league is neither challenging nor really testing, the same could be said about the Mexican league though, which means that Blanco is also incorrect, Gimemez is very young and moved to a foreign continent, country and league and he is leaving a mark, not everybody was able to do that. He deserves some credit; people saw something in him and he is proving them right. As an Inter Milan fan, I'd be delighted if he'd joined my team.
