2022/23 Dele Alli

[Paul Rideout]

I have a feeling that if he turns it around and it's with us, he will give us the loyalty and support we've given him 10x

did find it a bit jarring watching this emotional interview about addiction brought to you by 'Sky Bet'.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

apologies for my ignorance on this question if its seems obvious what he said but i didn't understand what he meant when he said he was hung off a bridge at 11 by a man. Does this mean that a man tried to kill him at 11 by making it look like he committed suicide?

Not sure, normally a threat to do something or not. Remember calling round for a mate once and his brother and his unpleasant mate had left him hanging by his foot by rope from upstairs bedroom window. Because he had not fanned them enough on hot evening the night before.

Wow, what an interview that was, tear jerking tbh. Well done Dele for what you have done, also well done Gary Neville. Imagine someone like Piers Morgan doing that with his journalism head on, be horrendous.

 

[Hadders]

I think those of us who have suffered/suffer from mental health problems could always see he looked lost, lonely and sad. Very relatable.

I felt sorry for him.

He seems more content and relaxed now it's public and he's had help.

The man who's just done an interview discussing things he says he's never spoken about before and gone into rehab to address issues and addictions he's kept from everyone all these years? You have absolutely no idea what Spurs have done to try to help him in his professional and persons life, but on the face of it, it appears he made it very difficult for anyone to help him before this summer. You cannot help someone who doesn't want helping.

Trying to not give you the worlds of abuse you deserve here, when you're in that state of mind you don't try to get help.

Hopefully, this interview and revelation is a further sign of Dele maturing and learning to start to cope with troubles in his life.

I am sure both Spurs and Everton are capable of sitting down together and reaching an agreement on a solution where everybody wins.

Shows a complete lack of understanding or empathy for someone going through what must have been really difficult for him for a few years.

Alright. So Spurs should save our illustrious billionaire owner from shelling out the £10m payment because they owe it to someone who they paid tens of millions of pounds to when he was in their employment before allowing him to leave for no up front fee. Let's hope Chairman Bill can sell them the idea.

They’d be giving themselves a chance of getting that £10m. Because they’re not going to get it with the deal structured the way that it is.

Not at all, I'm just not stupid enough to think that Spurs have ten million pounds worth of sympathy to donate to Everton for Everton to help a player Everton own.

That's not the point I'm getting at as you know the money is irrelevant to what he has likely been going through.

Why not? Aren't Everton as sympathetic to their players situation as you expect Spurs to be? Shouldn't Everton just cough up the ten mill? It'd be the nicest thing to do for the player at this moment in time, but unfortunately you seem to expect Spurs to be the charitable party.

If the lad is supported off the field, (he will be), it could be the best £10m we spend.

 

[Tel001]

Sorry that he has gone through all that but I still wouldn’t be risking paying 10m for him …

 

[Toffeelover]

Yes dare we gamble, what evidence is there that he will start PLAYING and showing what he can do ?
