2022/23 Dele Alli

[SJB]

I'd like to think some of the Everton lads that know him have been in contact since this came out.

They're in Switzerland with him.

 

[Nymzee]

They're in Switzerland with him.

Aye posted that just before the final few mins when he said he'd spoken to them.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Then he'll be sent away on loan and we'll massively subsidise his wages. No way does Levy renegotiate this deal, such fanciful ideas belong on Football Manager and Internet forums.

I mean… that’s not something you can do on Football Manager so… weird comment, but that’s neither here nor there.

And yes, that’s what will happen, resulting in Spurs getting nothing.

Or he stays on your imaginary renegotiated deal that also results in Spurs getting nothing.

I'd rather take a risk on Dele this season than see Maupay play another game.

Fully Agree

 

[Martin Alvito]

We absolutely do not need to offload him.
We stand by him, offer support and any resources/time needed for him to help recover and find out who he is now, and what he wants from his life and career.
We signed him to a contract, we have an obligation to help, morally.and contractually.

It's what we do, if we want players and their agents to believe we're a different kind of club. We say we are, but the proof is in the pudding.

Alas its not an either or with these two.

Never want to see Maupay in an Everton kit again and it would be great for us to be in a position to give Dele a chance but we've skint so they both have to go.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

But it reduces the odds of Spurs getting nothing because it increases the chances of him becoming usable by us - which is the only way they get anything (or by us selling him for some small sum in January)

We're going round in circles, the only way Spurs get anything from this deal as it stands is if Everton trigger the 20 game £10m payment. Anything else is daydreaming.

 

[ClausThomsen]

Very moving interview and I can't imagine how much it's been eating away at him in the build up to the interview. Hope he gets to where he needs to regardless of whether it's on or off a field. How it affects Everton's performances or balance sheet seems entirely trivial to me.

The sad thing is that some grown adults will watch that and in future still make vicious hugely personal comments on people they actually know nothing about because it meant the result of a game, literally a game, didn't go as they wanted.

 

[kenada_blue]

Ok he turns into the prime Haaland all of a sudden.

The whole idea of getting Dele Alli was the "get a tune out of him, you've got a player."

If he dealt with his issues last season or worked through them, I'd have put my house on the fact we wouldn't have been in a relegation struggle.

This hasn't changed. Hence why I've said someone at the club has to have a backbone for what's the best for him and the club and make a decision.

Based off that interview...no one's made a decision on it.

Genuinely, I’m starting think he’ll smash it this year; there’ll be peaks and troughs in the road for him, but he’s already took an absolutely huge step.

We all knew he had the talent, but we didn’t understand why it wasn’t being utilised. If he can become happy again, we’ll see the old player.

He's not ready yet mentally imo. His hand's been forced by the gutter press, and he said himself he felt he was probably speaking too early. I hope for his and ours he kills it at training because a Dele 70% of what he was better than anything we have

 

[Stuartisitc1878]

I think what he needs is a season with little to no expectations on him where he can just play, be with the lads and enjoy his football but as long we have this deal with Spurs the likelihood is he’ll never a fair crack of the whip.
