2021/22 Dele Alli

[MrD]

I have a feeling his wages are huge. he would have been promised the earth to come here.

We got him for no initial fee because he no longer fitted the system at Spurs, they needed the wages for kulesevski and bentacur (this ultimately got them 4th!) and we couldn't afford him otherwise. We are still potentially liable for 40million for him, so they haven't given him away.

We are talking about a 2 time premier league young player of the year, so his quality is not in doubt. His application is though and that is up to Lampard and the team.

I am more worried about what Bill has promised Spurs in return as this clearly is a favour to us. Probably Richy or Pickford for buttons....

Isn’t the 40m based on something ridiculous like us winning the league.

Of course not, why would Daniel Levy insert such a clause?

I would imagine the majority is based on appearances.

10m per 20 games would be my guess.

You say of course not but don’t actually know?

Cant imagine hes on less than 100k personally.

My take was that Levy agreed to the deal so he could say he got Alli off the books for a fee of upto £40m and he could keep his hard bargaining image. In reality our transfer deals were likely under heavy scrutiny so needed to be moderate.

Tbf, I have no evidence to back up this claim.

 

[Goat]

You say of course not but don’t actually know?

I know the same as you.

Which is nothing.

Hence me using the words imagine and guess.

 

[Zatara]

Keep

 

[Goat]

Could potentially cost us 20m next season, if he was to play the majority of the games.

If Lampard likes him, theres no reason to not keep him for that price, dont forget, its basically pay as he plays.

Ive liked what ive seen, theres a concern that hes not getting games cos he cba in training, but only Lampard will know if hes worth keeping.

 

[Littlesue]

Maybe Tottenham paying some percentage until he done his quota of games?

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Even if we want rid no one realistically will take him off our hands unless he took a big wage cut.

His 100k a week wages are affordable for every team in the league and a lot in Europe, I dont think he would struggle to match his wages on a free.

 

[DL100]

I’d keep him. Quality wise he’s one of our best players and a game changer on his day. The question will always be ‘how much does he want it’. At times at Spurs he was unplayable.

I think the games thing goes incrementally up.

10m 20 games 10m another 40 games.

Read they have a 25% sell on clause, which will be valued at probably 10m.

I suspect the other 10m are probably based on European qualification, trophies etc.

Levy would have signed up, on the basis that his wages are taken off.
