The goal return is proving great value for 7m.
He has to up his performances and the consistency of those performances though.
Chelsea last season he was a beast.
Don't see it enough.

I presume someone has come up with this song but it should be the one
Nice one sonny
nice one son
nice one sonny
let's have another one
The one thing about South Korean players is that they have a fantastic attitude (remember Lee Young Pyo) and give 100% each game so I have high hopes for him.

Knowing our luck, Kaboul will probably have his 1 good game a season against us.

new interview with a korean-based english newspaper
Interesting questions imo:
Q. It was quite an issue when Leverkusen teammate Hakan Calhanoglu revealed that you missed training without notice and were unreachable before your transfer to Tottenham was confirmed. What happened?
A. Leverkusen gave me permission to take a medical test within 48 hours. I was still contracted with Leverkusen, so I couldn’t move without the club’s permission. Calhanoglu also made some noise when he was moving from Hamburg to Leverkusen. That’s why I said, “Wer im Glashaus sitzt, soll nicht im Steinen werfen” (People who live in glass houses should not throw stones), to the German media. It’s sad that Calhanoglu said that and that we are bickering. Since I didn’t say goodbye to the Leverkusen coaching staff and players in person, I will try to visit the team in the near future.
Q: You speak German well, what about your English?
A: When I was playing in Germany, there were players who spoke English. Although I’m not good at it, I can speak basic English. Since I learned German quickly, I don’t think learning English will take much time. In fact, if you learn a new language, it’s a good advantage even when you retire.
Q: Lee Young-pyo, who previously played with Tottenham for three years from 2005, said Tottenham fans even put a blue hat on Santa Claus at Christmas because of their rivalry with Arsenal, who play in red. What do you think?
A: Tottenham officials already told me I can’t even buy a red car. I’m very excited to play against Arsenal. Whatever match I play, I want to score goals. Since I’m a forward, my goal-scoring record will speak for me.
Q: You signed with Tottenham until 2020, but what about your military service? We know you can still compete in the Summer Games next year and 2018 Asian Games as a wild card.
A: Well, I’m still young, and I think there are a lot of opportunities [to contribute to my country]. If I can get a good opportunity, I know I can do well. But I don’t consider this a serious issue at the moment.
Q: Lee dyed his hair pink and kicked an advertising board when he didn’t score. What do you think about his activities?
A: I sometimes act like that, but even I think it doesn’t look nice. However, many people told me I become a different person when I’m on the pitch. Outside the stadium, I try to entertain others, but on the pitch, it’s a business. You show seriousness and express your feelings about the outcome. I don’t think it’s wrong to express yourself on the pitch.
Q: Do you read newspapers a lot? Sometime there are stories that are not complimentary. How do you respond?
A: Since I’m in Europe, I watch Korean newspapers online. Germans read newspapers a lot. Sometimes the media shows harsh disrespect, but I try to understand. My father told me, ‘If a company needs to survive, it always needs to produce a new product. Because you are a footballer, you also need to have something special.’ But I sometimes think the criticism is too harsh. Sometimes you have to make cold decisions … and you are professional by accepting it.

Article today that said he signed despite strong interest from city etc. In order to get more playing time. Like that sort of attitude. I think k he could well be a fan favourite if he has as much enthusiasm as other Korean players. Fingers crossed he makes the transition to the epl. I'm sure he will.

Could see his song being "one Son, we've only got one Son, we've only got one son."
Hopefully he scores at the weekend and someone can come up with something funny.

The critism of Chadli relates to the fact that he is in the team to do more than score goals, and unfortunately the other areas are somewhat lacking at times, particularly his ability to move the ball forward quickly during attacks
"However, many people told me I become a different person when I’m on the pitch. Outside the stadium, I try to entertain others, but on the pitch, it’s a business. You show seriousness and express your feelings about the outcome. I don’t think it’s wrong to express yourself on the pitch."
Love this bit from the interview, we need some passion on the pitch.

He had 5 assists last season too, and none of our players seem able to move the ball forward quickly. Sure, he has his flaws, but all in all he's one of the most consistent players in the team.

The issue with Chadli is that he tends to go missing, but to be fair Eriksen does as well. As for not being able to move the ball forward quickly, i dont think its an issue with the players we have. I think its more of an issue with the system as Poch has us playing so compact with little to no movement.

We don't play compact when the fullbacks get forward and actually do something with the ball.
Rose and Trippier need to play.
