Drives me nuts. Just when I've really had enough of his languid style he always pops up with a belter of a goal. Really don't know what to make of him.

Likeable version of Clint Dempsey. If he is to be replaced it needs to be with someone who can replace his goal tally as well.

I think our overall balance in AM is good so wouldn't look to sell; but could do if good money comes in.
Chadli's the midfield Defoe, i think every needs someone like that.

Was a little gutted we sold him thought he would be great for squad depth this season as I don't think we strengthened enough but don't think I've seen him run as fast as he did for his 2nd goal against the spam, amazing he had a hand in 4 goals gutted I forgot to put him in my fantasy team.

Good for Chadli. However I think it was right for us to let him go.

2 goals & 2 assists, against the Spam too.. On'ya Chadders (y)

Bargain buy for Brom, but it still was a perfect move suited for both Spurs and Chadli.

Don't forget that Son (afforded more game time with Chadli's exit) has also had a similar impact with 2 goals and 1 assist for us in his return.

Yesterday just enforced my belief that Chadli is another Sigurdsson case. Needs to play behind the striker or attacking mid, and never really looked truly comfortable out wide. But as a number ten type he's probably top 8, top 10 PL quality, not top four.

I think Chadli was an effective player who provided both assists and goals.

His all round game wasn't quite at the standard we are looking for and he could only be a squad player for so long.

Great to see him playing and scoring again.

I was dirty we lost chadli. Not necessarily because he is a great player (as he is definitely not) but because he is a goal scorer.

Worst thing is we massivly got under his real value.

Why? (n)

... if we're reminiscing about ex-players making an impact this week I'd take Capoue back first.

I really feel that Chadli is going to really flourish from now, show his full potential, and even though he couldn't get into the first 11, I think we should of kept him, and used him for cup games etc

I think Chadli had as much say here - I doubt he wanted to stay just to be "used for cup games etc"////

Chadli, Sigurdsson, Capoue, even Townsend. It's all a sign of how good we've become in recent years.
There's a bunch of players making up the numbers in our squad who'd have similar impact in lesser teams.
Vorm, Trippier, Wimmer, Son, Janssen ..
Sometimes a player go stale by being a squad player too long, they have to move to get get that fire back and it's good for us as well to get a fresh face in with a positive attitude to challenge the first XI. We've made a choice to go for Son and N'koudou ahead of Chadli. Remain to be seen whether the decision is wise or not, but I also believe we had to try.
