Confirmed Signing Dele Alli

[Runub]

A good last few days at Everton I reckon

Feeling a lot more confident about PL survival now

Feet on ground please

Thing for me is that Lampard wants him and wants him for a reason.

The two have/had similar traits in the game. He'll want to get something out of him

You have to back the manager mate I agree, presuming we didn’t already have this in the chamber….I just see a few red flags here, there is a reason we are getting him at a cut price deal and pay nothing until he plays 20 games, if a deal looks to good be true ……and all that, I’m on the fence, until I see him play 2/3 games. Hopefully I’m wrong.

When he was at his best he reminded me of Cahill, though with a slightly different skill set and can create that bit more assist wise, he’s what I’d call an 8 a half.

DCL, Gray, Godfrey, Ali , Gordon , Pickford

We're becoming a bit of hub for young(ish) england players

VDB and Alli are both pretty creative players to be fair

I mean I haven’t seen a lot of Van de Beek but I can categorically confirm that Alli is not a creative player.

Massive Risk this. If it hasn't worked by the end of the season we will have someone on the books for another two years, earning a packet doing nothing important (sound familiar?). God I hope Lampard drove this and knows something nobody else does.. It feels a little like Iwobi...??

I don’t agree there to be honest mate, when he was playing in behind Kane he was getting pretty impressive assist stats, and has shown he has a good range of passing

Oh he's a ghost in games too. Doesn't go chasing a game.

It's a completely out of left field deal for me, someone we don't really need. However, I'm not going to turn my nose up at him either.

Also...it seems to me Spurs were offloading the wage bill the amount of players they'v sent out in January...all big earners too. So I'm not too taken aback with the deal. They clearly wanted him gone

Nothing really like Iwobi, delli has proven he can do it at the top the risk is can he get back there. Iwobi could never play football, never much of a chance of him ever doing anything of substance.

Purple Alli instead?

Chemical Alli ?

I’ve got a feeling if he strolls round looking a bit lethargic on the pitch, Lampard will tell him he’s strolling round looking lethargic on the pitch, and he’ll say sorry Frank, and look less lethargic on the pitch.

His assist stats have never been great really, he was always a finisher at his best, a split striker. I don’t think we should be expecting creativity from him, he’s a player that gets on the end of things, arriving late in the box. He’s essentially Sigurdsson but without the set pieces. England tried him in a central midfield role and it was an absolute eyesore.

Alli at his best is a very creative player. He looks to me his head has to be clear and right to be at his best though.

And the other things..........

Can't the players aged under 21 players be dropped out of the named squad.
Patterson, Gordon, Branthwaite
Then allowed to play ?
Sure there was some rule to encourage you talent to play and not get blocked.

They aren't on the registration list... players under 21 are eligible for every game in England without registration
