Nobody in their right mind would consider Dele Alli as Richarlison’s replacement. It’s so far fetched, it couldn’t even be described as a gamble, it would be negligent, plain and simple.
If our season depends on Dele Alli filling the gap of Richarlison, then we’re down.
I am convinved he is. Look at the 3 players front and central in the kit launch.
Will be a front 2 of DCL and Alli with Gordon behind, or a simple front 3 of those 3. Any other forward brought in will be as backup with a view to staring the following season if we have to sell DCL.
Right or wrong. I fully believe Alli will be a first team player uptop next season.
Could all go wrong, but I would be shocked if we bring in a first team replace for Richarlison.
What money we have, will be for the centre of the park, and maybe a utility player who can cover a few positions.
