2021/22 Dele Alli

[TheBigIguana]

It's come to me now he has been on this forum all the time we have had Iwobe [HE IS IWOBBI ]

Idk it says I joined December 2013

Life under Jose tends to do that.
Not mention being robbed at knife point in your own home. That is called trauma.

100m not so long ago.

FFS. Look around, is Dele really our major concern atm?

Mr. D not all directed at your post just the clowns in here that just want to bin him off before he’s even really settled in here.

I think he's a great player. that's not in question, to me though he just looks like he has the world on his shoulders and it's kinda killing him.

Agree. New city, new club, a manger that is not Jose could all do wonders for him given enough to time.

May end up being just another Everton bonehead transfer or could be something special.

Im rooting

Not so fast @Shibbywiggles has staked his reputation on Dele recapturing his peak form so let’s see!

Definitely didn’t, I said I don’t know why everyone was writing him off after a few crap friendlies and some games where he looked decent but unfit last season, same reason I won’t come on here and tell everyone he’s amazing now because he got a brace today.

We could’ve never afforded peak Dele, especially not right now, so a free transfer which we only pay for if we like him enough to play him seems a gamble worth taking as he could be great even if he never gets back to his very best.

Thought he had a really good game , at times you get flashes of the player he is .
It would be interesting to see him. With a few decent midfielders around him.

The problem is that's not going to happen and he will be expected to be that " decent" midfielder.

I know the opposition is limited but that’s three times in two games now he’s been in the middle of the goal for a tap in.

None of Gordon Gray or any of our centre mids make those sort of runs.

I mean you want to tell Frank for me? Because he's started him wide twice in three matches in preseason.

I know more about Dele Alli's positional abilities than the man who keeps playing him wide, yes

I mean, you obviously don't. That's why you're speculating on an internet forum rather than using the knowledge and experience gained through a glittering career to manage a football club.

Wouldnt know if he can play wide , never seen him do it here. Free role this fella.

Frank is managing football because he was good at playing football not because he was good at managing. Just fwiw.

You genuinely think you could do better than a man who has spent every day of his adult life in football at the highest level and comes from a huge footballing family don’t you?

Why aren't you managing a football club?

Nice to see him getting in the box. One of my pet hates seeing wide players or midfielders who don't do and watch the play develop instead
