I'm a bit confused on the Chadli situation. Some reports indicate that Pulis is willing to sell him to raise transfer funds. I was not under the impression that we are so short of funds that we are willing to sell one of the few creative players we have but rather that our problems stem from an unwillingness to pay a stated transfer fee so that we don't manage to complete them. To be fair, I think that Chadli has been a bit like a firework that starts brightly but then quickly fizzled out so losing him should not be a major problem but we would need to replace him with a creative player. Selling Chadli and replacing him with a defensive midfielder would not, I believe, be a smart move.
