2023/24 Dele

Why immigrants? Jumping to some crazy conclusions there unless you've seen anti immigrant posts here? Madness.

"or something"

it seems even basic things wind you up (eg - clicking on a forum thread that you clearly have no interest in)

I'm sure you can't find another topic that irritates you that your time is better spent on. Now, once again for the hard of understanding.... Put the thread on ignore.

We should at least try, maybe we can get Richi back, though he is a more frequent starter now. Maybe we can loan in Harry Winks.

don’t think we can loan more than one player from the same club at once

 

[Shibbywiggles]

The difference is those guys wanted to play. This guy has done nothing to suggest he’s interested.

Nope.
I heard from these very same sources that Dom was only interested in modelling handbags and didn't want to play, Yerry didn’t care about relegation battles he just wanted to go dance on beaches and Gomes was just happy counting his money every week.

Perhaps you were someone that stuck by these players through thick and thin and knew they would all play for us again and you’re absolutely right about Dele, but I doubt it.

Think he might be available in Jan

 

[irishgoose]

My only Christmas wish was that he plays this week. It would just be so much fun watching heads explode.

Can we loan a loaned player out?

 

[royvernon39]

And? Like, genuinely, and? I'm fairly confident that if I was in his situation, I'd swap all the money and fame I earned to not be abused as a child.

To bring money and status and all that into it, is in my humble opinion crass at the very best.

Mate, that's a bellend comment.

Have you just called a man who was raped as a child a professional victim?

I have no idea if the entire story is a PR scam dreamt up by his agent to mitigate his uselessness at EFC nor do I have no idea if he ever mentioned
it at Spurs, especially when he was playing well, about four years ago. What I do know is that it is not relevant now.

What I do know is that his employer in Turkey called him a waste of space and that Dele signed a contract at EFC to play football.

Some really awful posts in this thread .. disappointing really

He did it cos he was worried it would get leaked to the press so decided to tackle it now he was in a better head space after being in rehab.

It was PR driven (any interview generally is) but not for the reasons you state

Can someone tell me why a person on this forum is allowed to post that Dele made up child abuse as a PR stunt?

Why is it not?

Can you share what experience working with trauma you have to know why it isn’t relevant anymore. Are you his therapist?

That's a fairly poor post mate. I wish you hadn't picked a user name so like mine when you joined, it worries me that some people may think it was me who posted it.

Fairly poor? I said his last outing was a bellend post. I was wrong - he's just a bellend.

You're quite clearly either a terrible WUM or a Neanderthal. Go and research something called ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) and their impact.

I have no reason to doubt why a person would come out and describe a horrendous time in their lives, and the evident terrible impact it's had on them.

Yes he's signed a contract to play football, but it isn't that simple and if you want to flip it around, we as his employer have a responsibility for his care and wellbeing.

As a person who has professionally worked with people who've faced awful trauma, including similar abuse, I appreciate the damage it may have done to him.

You mention Spurs, but the impact of abuse can take a long time to seep out because children develop coping mechanisms, which need to be unravelled.

These mechanisms, designed to protect themselves, ultimately cause other long-term damage including relationship trouble, criminality and substance abuse.

For me, it's took a lot of bravery for him to speak up regardless of whether the press forced the move (again, that's more of an example of their perverse nature).

He's twenty-seven and if he can rekindle some form for us during this time of treatment, great. If not, well I just hope his overall wellbeing improves.

Well-being > football.

Spot on, thankfully very few of us will have been through the kind of torment Dele has, I think he has shown great courage in going public with it and the notion that his people have invented it to garner sympathy is, quite frankly odious. From a footballing point of view, I don't think he will ever get back to anything like the player he once was, but, what an immense emotional burden he has to carry. It really isn't surprising he got himself into such a dark place over the past few years.

Pretty awful post by any standards
