Yeah I hope it doesn't mean that we are out of Bernard race, especially when Liverpool and Arsenal seem to be also interested in him (at least that's what's being reported).

Belgian international for 7m, good deal IMO. Should fit well in 4-3-3 formation.

so if we are really planning on signing a total of 4 players, paulinho and chadli would be 2 of the 4. Perhaps another striker as the third, and 1 mystery player to round it all up?

pleased with this signing. mainly because it's a signing rather than a non-signing :)

You guys know my opinion on this fella. Very good player that I think will surprise some around here. I likened him to a "Dembele on the wing" and I'm sticking to that.


As well you should Snarf....

Even Verts is comparing Chadli to Dembele.

If Chadli is being compared to "a Dembele type player but on the wings" then it is certainly a no brainer. And for 7million euros!!!!

Fantastic deal. I am very excited about this potential signing. He definitely looks like a player that has all the attributes to be a very top class player for us.

Solid signing if it comes off, but like others hope we still have an eye on Bernard. Be interesting to see how this guy, bale, townsend, lennon and Dempsey all fit in next season as I don't think that will work out too well.

That's awesome to hear that from Verts (Or... Am I Verts' internet alias??).

It'll be another 50-55 game season, and we all know how short we were for pace when Bale and Lennon were injured for parts of last season. I think with Bale, Chadli, Lennon and Townsend we'll have perfect competition for the wide-forward spots, and enough players for a bit of rotation for the Cup competitions.

Plus, for the first time in about 6 seasons this means Lennon wont just walk straight in to the team, he'll actually have to raise his game and push on from where he's at right now if he wants to be starting in the PL. Everything about the Chadli move makes sense to me.

I'd sell Dempsey and Lennon. They would surely raise near £15-20 million... Then bring in Big Bernie.

That's crazy. I have no idea what that shit says but is it:

All their fans wishing him good luck is reminiscent of Paulinho situation before it was officially announced by us... Can only be a good sign.

It will probably be one or the other. Lennon would fetch the bigger fee, but I would rather Dempsey left for sentimental reasons - but can't imagine DL thinking like that!
