What is up with Dele Alli?

[Marius57]

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

Because we had a plan with him which has included behind closed doors games etc. doesn’t mean no one has approached him.

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.

I agree with you but hes got to be able to actually walk on to the pitch which he hasnt done for along time and I cant help think hes not just injured the physical sense.

Make him pay back his wages and if he doesn’t repay it then I’d suggest outsourcing debt reclamation to that midget gangster who round-housed Ross Barkley.

We should have claimed on insurance to redeem his wages ....

We bought him very much in the ‘sold as seen’ category, can’t claim for rust bucket when that’s exactly what you bought.
Probably couldn’t insure him for anything other than broken limbs sustained on the pitch.

“ Sold as seen” Depends who was looking at him when we bought him and I think the fella who seen him, negotiated and signed off the deal is no longer with us!

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Almost feels a bit morbid this thread. He's not well, he's not playing footy again, time to let it go and hope he's getting looked after.

 

[KaiserEFC]

You know when you do that thing where an injured player gets better and better every week they’re out?

This is that on crack.

Not an Everton player

Is he available on loan? Worth a punt.

 

[Cels]

From what I've heard, if Dele meets expectations, Friedkin is said to be keen on giving him a new contract and then loaning him out to Roma until the end of the season to help bring him fully up to speed etc.

If we are not paying him and we let him come in and train with us, even if he never pulls on a blue shirt again - what exactly is the harm in that? Are we concerned he is getting tea and biscuits for free and depriving Pickford or something??? I don't get it.

Perhaps it reflects more about people's expectations and lack of empathy than anything to do with the player.

It depends mate, are they those posh biscuits that @GrandOldTeam buys? If so, that's just not on.
