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...??

Both the same age.
Iwobi. 14 goals in his career.
Alli 74 goals.
Lampard has to get alli at it again.

Iwobi and Dele Alli dont even play the same sport.

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.

They’ve never been amazing, but they weren’t awful, I think he’ll offer more than Gylfi did for us. VDB is legitimately a pretty good passer though

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

I think we’re flipping Gylfi whose out of contract in the summer for Alli mate. Interesting we don’t pay anything for 20 games and there are 18/19 games left this season.

Maybe I’m gone cynical, but Son, Kane, Alli we’re unmovable a couple of years ago. Something is up with Alli, for his career to regress. I look at Levy, he knows he has a potential 80-100 mill asset in previous form, now he’s giving him away for almost nothing - he’s not the type, which has me suspicious. A Couple of very good managers have deemed him not up to it too. We saw how hard Levy fought for Kane in the summer and he’s giving this lad away. Like I say if something looks to good to be true it usually is….hope he proves me wrong like, if he does it’s an incredible deal.

61 assists 260 games 67 goals, basically close to a 1/4 assist per game rate - I'd say that's creative

Iwobi was like buying a vending machine coffee for the price of one you’d be served on the champs elysees

Spurs fan did say that if he's told to something other than stand around the box and get on the end of attacks, he's useless. Jose called him lazy. Conte hasn't even bothered with him (and Bergwijn).

I'd say he's limited. But what he's good at he's very good at. Under the right manager.

Never know. May need that arm around him that Jose and Conte ain't gonna give.

Probably a more mobile Siggurdson with a bigger threat. Like you say, his replacement.

He was very very good, more well rounded than just a second striker.



Truly has been a bizarre fall from grace, looked like definite superstar in the making

After that good World Cup he looked knackered. Real Madrid we’re sniffing around him.
No idea what’s gone on.

I always thought he had the look of a Liverpool player to me. A snide one who was actually pretty decent if you know what I mean ?

If we get him firing, he’s a superb addition to our team.
