Apparently got a €15m release clause aswell. Could have had him last season but I’d heard or read that it was Lampard that dithered on him. A loan deal was all but lined up and ready to go and then Lampard got cold feet

Lucky for us it seems players don’t want to go there either! Haha
He’s not really good enough for Prem either, and played his best football has a 10 for Boro under Carrick so not even an out and out striker

It is very poor but I think we're probably in very slightly better shape than we were last season. Like 16th is a live possibility shape
He can play behind Che Adams

Could not disagree more. Dyche is a very good man manager. In the same way that Ancelloti did he cares about the person rather than just seeing them as a player/number. (I am not saying as an all round manager Dyche is similar to Ancelloti, obviously not). Dele needs help to get his ‘head’ right rather than any tactical/skills training and Dyche is well equipped to do that. All said it’s still a big ask to rehabilitate Dele.

Considering dele has openly come out and said that a lot of his issues are mental, not sure why you think dyche isn't well suited. Seems to have a fairly good reputation in regards to man management.
If we weren't hamstrung by such an awkward deal, that has us gambling with money we should probably using elsewhere, then I'd be quite happy to have dele as a squad option.
Rich”tea”arlison is coming back… haha

How are we in better shape?
Last season’s crap defence is even weaker, and is going to get turned over on a regular basis.
Our dodgy midfield remains the same.
Selling Gray to a relegation rival is going to weaken our already impotent attack, and this Chermiti feller is only a prospect that would have been behind Gyokeres at Sporting. It’s like adding a young prospective Anichebe or James Vaughan to the squad. It’s not enough.
I think Dyche will earn is money as a manager being paid to fight a relegation battle, but I think most other managers including some of the supposed better managers would experience relegation with this extremely poor squad of footballers.
Or, we are trying to improve but the league things you’re a failure because you went to United and Chelsea and they haven’t appreciated you. You will also go to a juventus who also have no European football next year.

So hopefully for once we can hurry up and sign him ( of course we won't).

I get it mate, there’s logic to him coming back and I think it’d be a good move for both parties but his ego won’t have it.
United, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Juventus are teams that we haven’t been on the same level as for a very long time and he sees himself as an elite level striker.
He wouldn’t even come back to the best we’ve been in the last 30 years let alone where we are now.
