Fantastic player, was so glad we signed him as he was always a player I liked.
Has his frustrating moments but is so vital to our squad. Love him.

When we got shot of Chadli and brought in Son, I thought that we had basically picked up another Chadli who frustrates and does very little but is always good for a goal. I stick with that assessment, but actually he is more useful than Chadli was because he has pace to burn as well.
I still think he has a long way to go to improve his overall game and contribution, but you can't deny that his goals this season have been gold dust and he really has a knack for nailing them when we need it. Good purchase in my books.

He's not as good as the Chadli we had before his father died, but he's been very effective.
Hopefully the annoying aspects of his game are areas for him to improve, rather than drawbacks. If so, and he cuts them out, he might have a chance of playing his way out of military service.
So I'm assuming:
a) You didn't bother to read what I wrote properly
and/or
b) Weren't watching spurs in 2014/15?
It's a great return , and I was not that convinced with Son at the start of this season so a big kick up the arse for me
What do you mean by the equivalent of 22 starts?
Sounds a little bit like presenting the stats in the most favourable light.
Don't get me wrong 16 goals has been a very good return and he's scored some important ones too.
I still find him to be a bit unreliable though and never really know what we're going to get from one game to the next.
I think the 16 goals in 22 games is a tad more flattering than it should be as the biggest problem with him has been when he HAS started games. So comparing his goals just to his number of starts scews the facts a bit.

Minutes played. The amount of minutes he's played equates to 22 starts.
That is a very good return in that case. I stand corrected.
I've seen a few mentions of "military service" on here, what's the reality with this? Is it something that is actually likely to happen?
I think it's not a coincidence how Janssen always assists Son whenever they play together. Fantastic combination. Janssen knows where Son is gonna play most of the time. Time for Son to do the same. Then it's gonna be deadly.
He needs to win the next Asian Cup or he will need to serve in the military soon. That's the last chance he has left.

This week they have changed the law, celebrities and athletes can no longer delay their service to whenever they want, and they have to do it as soon as they are called, whenever that may be.
Absolute rose tinted nonsense
Chadli's two main abilities were invisibility and kicking ball into right backs shin. Wasn't great with the ball at his feet, dined out on the occasional decent goal.
Son can score a greater range of goals and has more technical ability.
Chadli is a luxury player without the luxury.
That's severely short sighted.
I'd suggest looking back on the goals and assists Chadli made before this topic gets any more embarrassing.
Do you only watch highlights reels?
