Looks like they have given Nacer a very free role behind Rondon.
Thats where he thrives, he's never going to be a pure winger as they are used in the PL. He lacks the explosive pace to do so, but he knows how to score, has a good dose of technique and can get assists. He has that cutting edge that for example Moose has never been able to develop. I compare those two because they both started out as strikers in the Dutch league but evolved in a completely different way.
But must feel good for him, if you are a record signing at a no mark club like WBA it's going to be important that you deliver early.

Loved Nacer and have always said he has special ability when it comes to end product. I think he is going to have a huge season at West Brom
Chuffed for him. But he needed to start week in, week out. Which he was never going to get here.
Keep it up, Dolphin!

Just want to say that was a nice bit of class from Nacer to go out of his way not to celebrate his goal against us. Always will have a soft spot for him
Agree with that.Class act
Still, I'd have been happier if he'd not bothered scoring in the first place
It was always going to him that scored for them though. These things are meant to be. I wish him all the very best. It's just a shame there wasn't a place for him in the squad cos he seems a genuinely good guy & has an eye for goal when he's playing regularly.
Missed him last nigh chadli better player and more of a goal threat than Sissoko
Letting Chadli go was an obvious mistake. He can be very clinical and knows the PL.
But the biggest mistake Spurs made in the summer was not signing Fulham's Dembele for 500k.
30m for Sissy is ridiculous, especially considering we already had players in that role.
Poch is too obsessed with bulking up and dominating other teams. I think he is slowly losing the plot and doesn't have the capacity to think up a lighter, more clinical style of play (like Ranieri).

To be fair I'd love siggy to be giving Ericsson some competition
I would have them both back, Siggy and Chadli both put the ball in the net.
I didn't disagree with selling Chadli, in principal, but replacing him with a £30m Sissoko is very difficult to understand.
I certainly do try to give players every chance to succeed and don't like to write anyone off in their first season but I just see nothing whatsoever from Sissoko to suggest that he'll ever be up to a decent standard. Hope I'm wrong.

Rofl Chadli was anonymous in 80% of the games he played. A proper highlights reel player.
I think Sissoko was a mistake but getting rid of Chadli wasn't.

I've got a fireplace that's more of a goal threat.
Have we replaced his goals though? GKN? Sissoko?
Well played sir!
