Swansea to make move for Nacer Chadli

[mawspurs]

Spurs are understood to value Chadli, 26, at around £15m, a fee would represent a club record for Swansea and is more than double the £7m Spurs paid FC Twente to sign Chadli three years ago.

I'd miss Chadli definitely a quality player who can play up front and on either wing. Probably not sure to start but with the new guy coming in from Marseilles, would rather keep Chadli than Clinton. Not sure Swansea will pay 15m, you could get most of Wijnaldum for that.

Love Chadli! Shame he can't get a position in our squad.

I'll miss him too, not sure about your comment regarding Clinton though- don't think we've seen enough of him yet, and from what I can gather he's more of a striker than chadli

In this market he's well worth that. In fact he's a steal

He has better stats than Wijnauldum at a higher level

I'd be happy with this sale; he tailed off in the final 3rd of the season when he did appear & never provided a selection dilemma. The manager has to be even more ruthless this season because of the need to do even better & our inclusion in the Champions League; the standard is so high & we need to have players whose performances in training & in matches make the boss think seriously about starting them. Sadly for Chadli he doesn't.

Chadli has that little bit of magic sometimes to get the odd goal against some really good teams. I don't want him sold. He lost his father last season (I think his father anyway) and it would have affected him. I think he's better than he showed last season and I think if he's played right he'll prove himself.

This is another Gylfi Sigurdsson situation for me.

Frustrating player. Just when I've had enough of him he always pops up with something special. Wouldn't let him go without a significant upgrade coming in though (same with N'jie). Don't think N'Koudou is an upgrade from what I've seen but maybe we'd go for Gotze and tinker the formation around which would be cool.

With cash rich premier league teams throwing around crazy money for trash and over rated players 15 million would be an absolute bargain for a guy who will least get you 10 league goals and a bunch of assists if he starts all games

 

[Chedozie]

Shows how strong our team is getting, a player as good as Chadli isn't first team anymore.

I can't believe we'd let a goal scorer, highly assisted, match winning player leave without replacing him with better.

We need quality squad players however if a bid comes in excess of 20M in this current market then maybe.

 

[zinzanzee]

He can do a job. Really do not want to let him go. BUT if Poch wants this then so be it as he is the boss and sees all every day and has brought in like players.

Chadli is a quality quality player who has had a rough couple of seasons through injury and family tragedy. He's had games for us, before his troubles, where he was brilliant - I'd hang onto him for another season and give him that chance again. (But I have to believe in Poch).

Is It though? - I think it wants to be better - but I'm not sure we've replaced or are replacing quality with better quality... Townsend? Chadli? Clinton? Neither Clinton or Chadli have had the rub of the green with injuries and so we haven't had them at their best in recent times.
For a team built with the idea of fast, pacy interchangeable players....We need quality replacements in line if we are really to take it to the next level. I'm not seeing that...yet.

We have to see if he is sold yet, but I don't think Chadli is a player Poch likes,he likes players that run, constantly, supporting a target man, Janssen is a target man, another striker and Lamela, Eriksen, Son, Onomah, N'jie, Alli of the current squad to play in a three behind them.

I think it's fair to say Son is Poch's replacement for Chadli, left foot wise.

 

[Ribble]

It's odd, I think he's not exactly the best fit for Pochettino's style but at the same time think we'd miss him in the squad if he were to go. He's a player who needs to feel like he's at 100% for us to see it from him, if that makes sense, but when he does then he's got the ability to make decisive contributions in a match. I'd hate to see him playing for someone else in the PL for that reason too.

 

[millsey]

Waiting for a 10.5 bid to be accepted.....

 

[Jenko]

What did we get for Andros? 10 mill? Chadli is so much better that he should have a 20 mill value imo.

 

[BaFa94]

Surely he's worth 20m in this market.
