RD - next time theyre all laughing at sherwood on JA for picking chadli in CM, could you possibly advise them that that's where he's played most of his games for Belgium, and that he kept dembele out of the side in that role for some time
If you give me links to some credible Chadli Belgium CM stats, I will consider your request. BTW has he actually been any good for them when playing there (or was their manager Jan Ver Timmy) ??
Fair enough. Reasonable stance that. And tbh, i dont know, lol. I have seen him there in a couple of belgium line ups tho. I'll have a look and see if i can find anything.
So we have gone from he played most of his games for belgium there, keeping Dembele out of the team..to now "don't know"
http://sabotagetimes.com/reportage/...urs-fans-need-to-know-about-their-new-winger/ There's a quot there from the belgium manager saying that he uses chadli on the wing or as a "attacking central midfielder". Just doing a quick review of a few articles, it looks like he's played all over the place tbh - imcluding striker - but that he prefers to,play on the wing or as a number 10.
http://www.belgofoot.be/nacer-chadli-joins-spurs-belgian-contingent/ Seems like a decent blog and one of his claims to fame is he wrote for the BBC! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport3/worldc...t/brazil_v_belgium/newsid_2048000/2048030.stm
Status update : With Dawson gone, in order to have a squad with 25 over 21s players, Obika and Mason must remain to ensure the minimum of 8 HG players.
Front post updated, not including Obika until I see some indication he is to be included in First team squads, or he is included in the 25. With 17 overseas players, our new centre half (if he arrives) will keep someone else out.
With Fazio imminent, some serious horse-trading is going to be necessary on the overseas roster. BAE is the obvious sacrificial lamb.
Made his debut last night at Bournemouth and although they got beat 3-0, Archer came out of the game with great credit.
