2023/24 Dele

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Its Dele time.

I wish. I really really wish. I love a good fairy tale. We're Everton though, good things don't happen here.

I found it very intriguing that in his press conference Dyche specifically mentioned Dele and his fitness when he wasn't really asked about him.

He normally completely ignores players that aren't in his plans.

I might be reading a little too much into it, but the vibe I got is that Dele is in his plans and that he is going to give him a chance to prove himself.

If Dele can get to 70% of what he was, then he will have a strong role to play in that N10 role.

Am I right in thinking it’s effectively 7 games before we pay anything extra, then 10M gets us up to 27 games out of him this season & then if he doesn’t play more than that it’s effectively up to us if we offer a new contract on our terms?

I thought the same. Maybe he's making plans for no Iwobi and I would take a 70% Dele over Iwobi every day of the week
He completely turned the game coming on at half time against Palace when we were 2-0 down
Play like that consistently and he'd be great

Welcome aboard the Dele hype train lads and lasses.

I thought that was one of the most reveling press conference Dyche has done in regards of players getting
Back to fitness & potentially more transfer activity

People expecting Dele to turn the clock back and get us 50 assists and 20 goals make me chuckle.

Is anyone really expecting that though? I’ve seen lots of “if he can get to 70% of what he was he improves us” & people hoping he has had a breakthrough with his mental health whether he plays for us again or not.

I’m in. 7 games trial before 10m transfer fee

 

[PeregrineT]

I mean if Dyche is faced with getting fired because the team has no creativity and playing Dele to win a few matches what do you think he would do?

Nobody is expecting that. If we get 25% of what prime Dele was he's our best player.

5 assists and 2 goals would be decent.

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Still have "fans" like this about, what chance has he got. We need to get behind him as a club and see if we can get the best back out of him off the field and on it.

 

[Hogwild]

I’d love to see this kid succeed. Both for him and for us.

I'm not sure anyone thinks that. However, he'd be ideal for the role doucoure is currently playing. If he can his mind back on football and his recovery goes to plan, he'd be the best midfielder we'd have on a technical level.

It would be nice to have a player that is more technically gifted play that role. In some games everything stops when doucoure touches the ball.

I don't think he'll ever get back to the levels of his early spurs days, but to have an attacking midfielder that isn't just a battering ram is a tool we really need whether it's dele or someone else.
