Son Heung-Min

Very much this. So easy to forgive his mistakes because all he ever thinks of is attack, attack, attack. Always takes 'em on, bamboozles his way into the box and shoots or attempts to set up a team mate.

And then when he scores we get that radiant smile you cannot help but be affected by.

I shall be upset if he decides to leave in the summer but angry if we choose to get rid.

You're probably right about the ratio of flops to bargains over a longer period but there's no question that trend has been dramatically reversed since Poch's arrival.

So let's have a look

Hits

Alderweireld
Son
Wanyama
Davies
Vorm
Dier
Alli
Trippier

Jury out/too soon to judge

Janssen
Wimmer
N'koudou
Sissoko

Misses

N'Jie
Yedlin
Fazio
Stambouli

Fazio and Stambouli had decent spells so no way could you call them out-and-out flops. N'jie had his moments too and though very unlikely could still return and be successful. Yedlin was probably a very cheap buy (fee undisclosed) who managed just the one appearance.

So not one out-and-out flop since Poch's arrival but several fantastic bargains.

I wouldn't say the jury's out on Wimmer. I'm sure we would have still bought him with hindsight.

Firstly, Fazio and Stambouli were out and out flops - I just lay the blame for them less at Poch's door than at Levy's. :p

I agree, more recently the ratio has been promising - provided you view Janssen, Sissoko and GKN as still in their initial settling-in period, which I do.

True Fazio eventually fell out of favour but on balance I'd still put him down as a hit because of an excellent spell when he and Verts formed part of a very solid pairing at a time when others had been shipping goals galore. And here's another reason he was a hit!

As for Stambouli along with many others I was baffled when after some decent if not outstanding performances he suddenly 'disappeared.' Looking back we have clearly replaced him with much better but to put him down as a flop seems overly harsh.
 
To make this thread a little political; what if Donald Trump decides to bomb North Korea - which isn't very unlikely - how will that affect South Korea? I'm guessing they're likely to be drawn into the conflict whether they want it or not, and then what about Son's military service? Will he be called in if his country is at war?

i don't think he would have choice. a very good friend of mine flew back to korea on wednesday he thinks it's nothing but a war of words & hopes to be back in oz soon.
having done military service might have something to do with it. which Son hasn't.

Definite WW3 if we're within 3 points if Chelsea with a game to play.

The world will conspire against us somehow.
 
Putting this here again, as I think it's perfect, and now I sing it on me sofa.

Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain
Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain
The dark days are gone, and the bright days are here,
My Sunny one shines so sincere
Sunny one so true, I love you

Sunny, thank you for the sunshine bouquet
Sunny, thank you for the love you brought my way
You gave to me your all and all
Now I feel ten feet tall
Sunny one so true, I love you

Sunny
Sunny, thank you for the smile upon your face
Sunny, thank you for the gleam that shows its grace
You're my spark of nature's fire,
You're my sweet complete desire
Sunny one so true, I love you
