I just don't think they understand....
Apparently Dele has been playing RB.
Scored in their 3-0 win. Hopefully he is finally turning things around
What next Rangers? MK Dons? MLS? Saudi Arabia?
Don’t even know what to say anymore
Super biased opinion. But I think he should come over to the states. Could really help jump start his career. Make good money, play in a decent growing league that still has massive market cities. Maybe feeling like a big fish in a small pond will help jumpstart his confidence and get him going again. If he does well enough, could earn a gig back in the prem.

Adelaide United? Yes please!What next Rangers? MK Dons? MLS? Saudi Arabia?
I don't think so.Has there ever been a bigger waste of pure talent than Dele?
I don't think so.
I can't remember anyone with that amount of talent just wasted. Even Gazza got a lot more out of his footballing career, while being a fragile soul.
Bostock never made it to the first team though.I give you exhibit A.
John Bostock.
I think he’s more a guy that excelled at youth level and never did it at professional level. Dean Parrett was another.I give you exhibit A.

Alli hit double figures in the Prem 3 times in a row plus got loads of assists. He then did nothing for 5 seasons and looks like never doing it again, even in a low level league.
His all round game clearly wasn’t great but his ball control, physicality, ability in the air, timing of runs, aggression and finishing made him a real goal threat.I always thought he was a bit of an enigma to be honest. To me he never had real stand out attributes with the ball, in that he was an average general passer of the ball, not the greatest striker of a football, not fast with it etc. His best attributes were probably his movement and his mind but when he couldn't really incorporate those things into a match, for whatever reason, it would make him look like a poor player.
Even someone like Sissoko who you could say was far less talented, has more easily transferrable skills in the sense that if you buy him he will more or less deliver what you bought him for. He can be very average, but still provide a necessary or useful physical presence, for example. I think things have to really click for Dele because he doesn't have particular skills to fall back on when he's not really in the game or if he's not in sync with the team and his teammates.
