What is up with Dele Alli?

[Kenyon]

At least he's still good for a thread. He'll probably take this too once he's fobbed off

 

[gonetomorrow]

Get a blazer and tie on him and add him to Matchday Hospitality.

 

[aglee]

so we’re just letting him use the facilities

Must have been one hell of a curry

Had a thought the other day - imagine if he proved his fitness and we offered him a short term contract. We could potentially have a front four of..

Lindstrom ----- DELE -------- Ndiaye

CF

If we ended up with even a 60-70% of a 'prime' Dele that's surely something worth considering?

That not a single club has taken him on since leaving us should tell you something.

Doesn't tell me anything?

Think it's clear to the entire footballing world that he's going through a rehabilitation, as we've outright stated it multiple times.

It's also clear that, based on Thelwell's recent interview, he considers his road to recovery to be best suited in our hands.

Because we’re mugs

And by that, I don’t mean it’s not a bad thing he’s gone through…

It tells me he isn’t a viable option for a team to employ at this present time. His treatment is ongoing and hopefully gets him back fit and playing again for someone. Since he started said treatment, McNeil has moved centrally and is thriving. We also have Ndiaye and Lindstum who likely would do well in that second striker role. I just don’t see a place for Dele here now.

 

[MikeH72]

I can’t believe people are still talking about him as if he could potentially be a viable first team option for us.

 

[MikeH72]

If we're going to play that midfield 3 of Ndiaye, Lindstrom and McNeil, isn't Dele a better player to have in there than McNeil?

No mate. He’s genuinely been crap since 2018.

At this point, I blame myself for even clicking on this thread when I see new posts.

Cynical bunch on here, aren't we?

We're not exactly above Dele Alli as a club, lads. Even now.

 

[jazzy]

I think Dele may be dumped right out of the Club once the new owner/s take over.

​

Without be nasty to Dele I hope so.
We need to send a message that the football side of the club ( I exclude EITC ) is no longer about sentimentality but is ruthless , professional and should match our motto and always strive to be the best that it can.
No more supporting a player who isn't under contract , did virtually nothing for the club whilst under contract and hasn't been half decent as a footballer for over 5 years.

Well we are if he cant actually play.

Agree - but I'm choosing to at least believe he can potentially contribute given the noises out of the club recently. It's called keeping an open mind..

Personally don't think there's any need to be so cynical about this like, but that's just me!

I'm sure we'll soon see what happens with him either way.
