2022/23 Dele Alli

[Neiler]

….too high risk, I wouldn’t have him anywhere near team selection. It was a mistake signing him, the warning signs were there yet one muggins of a club fell for it.

Bite the bullet, pay his wages until next June and say goodbye.

You know i think, id commit the 10 mill for the season and use him.

….that would be lunacy. You’ll be wanting to give him a new deal next

Well.......lets see how he gets on. lol

I dont think we are getting betterr in the market for 10 mill to be honest.

While im also thinking we usually spend 10 mill anyway sacking a manger and his staff around the first week in Jan, lets not do that and spend the money on having a sprinkling of creativity in our midfield. Its usually dead money anyway - so im not going to stress about it. If we can bear it for that we can bear it for this and let it add value to the squad. We are in for 5 mill anyway on his wages, so put it to work rather then write it off.

Do you not like balloons?

Red ballons.

I'd love him to succeed for no other reason than allowing posters to pull this post from the vaults and reply with your football for dummies pic lol

…the reality is, it’d be exactly the same as paying £10m to loan a player for this season only, but in this case we’d be paying £10m (in addition to his mega wages) for a player with his issues.

You should apply for a job on this Board, Matey

It's the size of the fee though isn't it. It was rumoured to be £10m every 20 games. And then he's out of contract end of the season.

I can't see it working unless we renegotiate with Spurs. Would love to be wrong.

We were supposedly about to pay £30m for that Bilal Toure. If you’re telling me that you wouldn’t pay £20m to have Dele play the season (if he’s near what he used to be) you’re mad!

 

[LEONARD]

Deli is not on his own, but if EFC offered 'performance related' payments only, our annual wage bill would be cut by 75%

…the reality is, it’d be exactly the same as paying £10m to loan a player for this season. Imagine paying £10m (in addition to his mega wages) to have access to a player with his issues for one season.

The wages are coming out our bank regardless and I think we’d have 6 games before we trigger the first £10m so surely that’s worth a punt if he’s feeling good and performing in training

 

[heatmeiser]

Been given his favoured #20 back (resulting in Maupay moving to #13).

Wonder if that means he’s going to be given a go?

Chuffed to hear that Tarks is #6 and Patterson #2 now too

Was absolutely doing my head in seeing their numbers last season

Sure, when they are used correctly.

….I would go nowhere near triggering the £10m for a player with his fragility.

That is genuinely fantastic news for no other reason than my own neurosis - hated having 2 as CB and 3 at RB

 

[MikeH72]

Imagine paying £10m for one season of this version of Dele Alli.

 

[Toffeelover]

Eggs is right, it is sheer madness to risk keeping him.
