He did touch his hamstring area and wince just after the nasty tackle.. Just after he got up.

Alli almost slipped Spurs net as Levy had to be talked into £5m bargain buy


David Pleat has revealed that he had to plead with the Tottenham chairman to make a move for the midfielder and not risk missing out on his potential

Dele Alli was almost passed up by Tottenham, David Pleat has revealed, with the club having to be talked into a £5 million ($6m) deal which has proved quite the bargain.
Back in January 2015, Spurs raided the ranks at MK Dons for the highly-rated midfielder.
They were buying into potential at that stage and had no way of knowing whether their investment would be rewarded.

Alli has gone on to take in over 160 appearances for the club and net 52 goals, while also becoming an established member of the senior England side.
He is still just 22 years of age and can take his game to even greater heights as he chases down major honours with Spurs.
Those in north London could have missed out on him altogether, though, with Pleat having pleaded with chairman Daniel Levy not to let a talent clearly destined for the top slip the net.
The former Tottenham boss told talkSPORT: “I had seen a lot of Dele Alli and I was convinced.
“I had spoken to [Spurs technical director Franco] Baldini, I spoke to all sort of people about him, I was pushing, pushing, pushing.
“It wasn’t clever. He’d played about 75, 80 games regularly in men’s football for a team called MK Dons, nice people, just down the road. I saw a lot of him and I was convinced, given the opportunity, that he would do well.
“So, just before the deadline on, I think it was the January, I was going to a game at Luton and it was Daniel Levy [on the phone] and Daniel said to me, ‘This boy Alli, we hear he’s going to have a medical or he’s going to talk to Villa and to Newcastle. What do you think?’

Bumping the full Dele thread, the other one needs to be closed really.

That pleat story is spot on although it was Newcastle that bidded/had the best chance to getting dele.

Pleat is the only one that can take any credit for the transfer.

Annoys me when people try and place this at Mitchell door because of his links with MK.

Chris ramsey offered them £5k for dele when he was 13. This came from the mk youth coach.

Possibly but I can tell you at 13 he was earmarked for the first team and was playing U15 age group.

5k would’ve got laughed at.

Pleat must have watched going on 40 games of dele.

I was fortunate to sit with him on multiple occasions and he’s such a lovely and knowledgeable man.

That would have ruined his song though.

Bale played most of those games at left back though.

 

[Hakkz]

Bale played most of those games at left back though.

He only had one amazing season (the last one) stats-wise even when he was a winger. Dele Alli is just something else at his age.

I agree, but Bale’s quality shouldn’t be undervalued.

 

[thelak]

Been so impressed with Dele this season

Going about his business quietly but his all round game has stepped up and he has added great on the ball play to what previously was exceptional movement off the ball and finishing

Not easy to wind up anymore so maturing well too

Hope the injury is not bad as was expecting him to step up with Harry and Son out

 

[SpartanSpur]

Early March

Absolutely must sign someone in Jan now.
