Tell me who would buy him if we went up for sale the only possible I see is United. Hard to see any European giants interested.
Yeh? I think there would be a lot of interest if he was available.

I think someone mentioned earlier that he looks better when we have other focal points. If Harry is playing defences aren’t quite on Dele as much and he can make some of those late runs and be more dangerous.
We need to work more as a team to create other problems for opposition defences and make more spaces for Dele. He’ll miss some goals and be frustrating but he’s still our best chance to bag a couple of goals in a game if we can get him the opportunities.
To me he is a player that does great things instinctively but the rest of his game when that instinct doesn't kick in seems forced and lethargic.
If he wants to be a more rounded player I feel he needs to simplify his game, moving the ball quicker with less touches and let those instinctive moments take care of the rest.
Good post.Alli is a one off, his goals and assists for two seasons showed he can compete with the best but unlike world class players Alli requires the team to play to his strengths. He flourished whenever he had Kane and Eriksen around him, we had a rock in midfield in Dembele and two flying full backs. These days we’re missing all of the aforementioned players.
We won’t see the best of Ndombele, Fernandes and Lo Celso until next season when Jose has had a summer to work with them and get their fitness up to the required standard. Lo Celso is playing very well but he also missed a couple of months out with injury.
Next season we’ll also have a fully fit Kane, Son, a settled Bergwijn and hopefully another couple of reinforcements.
However, for Alli to regain his form of a few years ago it is vital that we sign two quick attack minded full backs. Having a peak Rose and Walker allowed Kane, Alli, Eriksen and Son to cause havoc. With our current full backs we have zero attacking intent from Davies and Aurier is way too inconsistent.
Should we not rectify the full back issue then I struggle to sign how Alli fits into the team as it leaves us light in central midfield and lop sided up top. He needs space and to be instinctive to succeed but until we sort out our squad (in the summer) he’s a square peg in a round hole and playing him is to the detriment of the team. Albeit a different player we saw how the likes of Llorente struggled in the EPL as we failed to play to his strengths. Tripps was our only player who could cross the ball but he couldn’t defend for toffee, Davies was too slow to make it up the field and Rose has always been woeful in the final 3rd.
For me, we either play Alli as a make shift striker or use him as an impact player.
Dried up? He was in the top 5 for scoring from midfield in 2017/2018 injury plagued last year and nearly back up to his total of 17/18?
What is this rubbish being posted?
So he isn't a midfielder now?from Midfield LOL. Deary me.
Alli fucks ducks? Identifying the problem is the first step.So he isn't a midfielder now?
Fuck a duck.
?
Don't be woke.Alli fucks ducks? Identifying the problem is the first step.
Christ, he’s 23. He’s had a rough few seasons and now he’s also learning under a new manager.
You don’t just loose the talent that he has. He’ll come good again.

A great player lifts everyone. Players make runs for them as they know he is not giving the ball away and will pass to them.All the great players needed great players around them. Not saying Ali is or isn’t great but sometimes I feel fans believe that a great player makes everyone else great but really these great players need other great players around them to see them at the very very best.

Grealish would spend more time on the deck than Dele would 'flicking' and 'tricking' his time with the ball. We'd never make it out of central midfield.
Hahaha like Dele doesn't go down like a sack of spuds at the earliest opportunity..
That was when no one knew who dele alli was. Defense werent as tight and he had his time to operate. Now they know what to do to take away his game. If he wants to one up the defense then he needw to add something to his game
