2022/23 Dele Alli

Will say this...it's 100% the players motivation/head space etc because the deals made between Spurs, Everton, and Besiktas is arguably one of the strangest in world football.

Spurs basically gave him away and agreed some bizarre performance based fee structure. We've then punted him on loan with an option to buy. So that means...we don't buy Spurs anything?

He'll have a year and a half left on his contract when he comes back too.

It's all weird.
 
Really weird one to read.

Lampard was well guarded on questions, but a journalist asked Lampard before Nottingham Forest if he would take it personally that Dele Alli would leave having not made it work here. Lampard mentioned how he didn't know Dele personally before he arrived and I feel that's some insight that Lampard didn't mean to let slip into the players attitude/temperament.

Bit of a joke that we'll get no loan fee, pay a few bob towards his wages and Besiktas only have the option to buy.

I'd have went along with that if the club felt he's part of plans next season and we just have bigger priorities we need to address now and we can't afford to play him but my feeling is Spurs are no mugs in the first place, and Everton have realised the same and wrote him off and were desperate to get shut.

Poor from Lampard if that's the case to not be able to sense check/get the word on him with his football connections.

Could very well be true given Lampard's uncle said this;

“Before Frank took him, I texted Frank, and said: ‘Listen, Dele Alli, I think if you can get him going, he’s some player’.

Arsenal legend Ray Parlour asked: “What is it, Harry? Is he not working hard enough on the training field?”

Redknapp replied: “He can’t be can he? I thought he’d go in there and be great. He had such talent, I loved him, I thought he was a superstar, but he can’t get a game.”

I felt Lampard must have told Harry Redknapp he's a wrong'un, for Redknapp to say he's not working hard.

Any deal that ends up not paying a fee to Spurs will be good
 
How bad Turkish football must be for fans coming out en masse to celebrate the loan signing of a washed up PL footballer who is more interested in cars and ego tickling than actually playing football. Fit right in next to Cenk.

I’m confused. If additional fees became due to Spurs when he played a certain number of games for us.

How come this no longer applies during his loan ?

Absolutely no clue. But I'm pretty sure there's no way we're letting him go play for another club just to trigger clauses that we have to pay

Their record signing was 7.2m, in 2010 or something, madness how they have gone that long without spending any money.

Aye you beat me before I edited to add that.

Complete waste of time.

Hopefully he'll do alright there and a team who get promoted next season will take a chance on him.
