Dele Alli eyes Premier League debut at Manchester United

[mawspurs]

It was quite the opening statement. Dele Alli, 24 minutes into his first start in a Tottenham Hotspur shirt, suckered in Luka Modric of Real Madrid, nutmegged him and accelerated away. The 70,000 sell-out crowd at Bayern Munich’s Allianz Arena roared at the 19-year-old’s sheer impudence.

I think he will start on Saturday as mason not ready for 90 minutes IMO.

Got to love his audacity. Cheeky lad.

It was a thing of beauty. He did it twice, though the second time may not have been a nutmeg, but left Modric behind.

I honestly think this guy could be a real surprise this season, young yes but physically and it seems mentally he wants to succeed. Looking forward to seeing him regularly.

I know it's against United, but I'd still like to see Alli start tomorrow. He's looked great this preseason and I think he could be a regular starter for us sooner rather than later, particularly if we don't bring in a true DM before the end of the window. I also think that Mason could benefit from being spelled more than he was last season, considering his high-effort style of play and his injury history.

The kid's a superstar in the making

I like his style of play, his composure, and confidence. I think he could be our superstar if he could get regular times of play.

I was in Munich and he was very impressive. He nutmegged Kroos in the same game as well. He will be big.

This lad has all the attributes to be a top class player over next 2 years. As for the Man utd game, bring him on either at half time, or 60 mins. his speed and passing will be too quick for opposition losing concentration / tiring towards the end.

He's young and gifted but this is his first year at the top level. Let's not make it harder by building him up too much.
