2022/23 Dele Alli

[Ferguson1878]

Looks like he’s squeezing a proper dead otter out there does Bill.

Prop for his next panto

 

[Toffeepot]

Let’s be honest, if he can’t force his way into the starting line up when his competition is Gray, Gordon and McNeil, he’s done. Those holding on for the greatest comeback since Lazarus, can forget it, the miracle ain’t going to happen. Get ruthless Everton, we don’t owe players a living who do nothing to justify it, we’re not a charity.

Agreed. He had 6mths to turn it around and though he's obviously talented, he seems too much of a luxury player now and we need players busting a gut to compete. definitely not worth the money we'd have to pay for the role he's playing in the squad

 

[Tim's tourettes]

Disappointed if he goes as I was clinging on to the hope we'd see prime Dele back this season.
If he does go, let's hope that's the last Everton signing of a fading, aging player. File him under Walcott, Rodriguez, Bolassie, Rooney mk2 etc

 

[m hart89 efc]

I’ll miss his song, that was decent.

 

[jtl60]

I thought it for a long time and nothing has changed my opinion. Hes hasn't lost it. This is what he has. An average player who had a great 18 months a very long time ago

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Besiktas? Let's hope we don't get jerked around. Invest the wages elsewhere

 

[when i score we riot]

Came to us very suddenly, is leaving very suddenly.

He has played a total of 370 minutes for us. That's like 4 games with some injury time.
Like, i am struggling to think of other players we've had that have played so little. I can name players with less minutes for us, but around 4-5 games?

Won't miss him, easy come easy go, good luck. Also won't really mind if he stays - but at this point we probably won't be happy to see him on the pitch.

 

[when i score we riot]

Welp, Sandro Ramirez got 480 minutes for us, across 12 appearances.
But he at least got to start 5 games...

Suppose mourinho was right in the end. I just don’t think Dele wants it enough.

You can see in Dele's eyes he agrees 100% and knows he's blown it.
The acceptance of everything Jose said and not even a whimper of a comeback speaks volumes.

Some players have the talent but not the competitive spirit to be the best. Dele has shown he has the talent but obviously doesn't have the motivation to work hard enough to be the very best he can be.
He'll retire in his early 30s as a multi millionaire regardless of whether he puts the effort in or not and I think it's very hard to look back on your life and regret what you've done when you've earnt that kind of money.

If he doesn't want to be at Everton and put the hard work in then I'd love to see him moved on. Get him off the wage bill and potentially bring in some transfer funds.

It was throwback to the last days of Walter.

Second half vs Palace was this generation's Ginola hitting the post against Arsenal, but without a minute's silence for the Queen Mother being interrupted by somebody shouting 'God save Ginola!'

Interesting. Jose knows the guy going to blow his career. Wonder how he lost it?

Spot on this, i remember that with a bit of a wince!

 

[Fansince1988]

Obviously something not quite right behind the scenes. Thought it was odd that Lampard hasn't been starting him in these last two games..

We looked better when he come on against Villa
