Dele Alli

[carpediem991]

Can anybody tell me what position he is playing. CM like Mason in front of defense or CAM like Eriksen? Who could he replace next year in the squad? Paulinho?

I take it he has to wait till the summer before he sings in front of all the other players.

They've been playing 4-2-3-1 this year and when I've seen them Alli's been playing in the midfield two. Although I'd guess he can play further forward.

Excited to see what he can show in pre-season. He'll be given the chance and while it's early for him age wise I'm hoping he can really grab the reins and run with it like Mason did.

2012 quotes from Robinson re: him

"I hope we can [hold on to him]. It will be hard obviously," Robinson told BBC Three Counties Radio.

"I didn't see any 16-year-olds playing for any of the big teams at the weekend. He's a talent, a pure talent."

He added: "Let's just hope we can nurture that and guide that through the system."

I think I read somewhere recently that the PFA / the Premier League / the FA (not sure which) has now banned all initiation ceremonies for new signings.

Seems a good lad. Why does the interviewer always seem to ask the same question in different ways. Saw him do it on other interviews and it gets a bit cringy.

Anyone using a 14 year old's facebook posts against him when he's grown up is a bellend!

The lad comes across really well in his interviews and is very mature for his age. He's also the highest goal scoring midfielder in all 4 divisions in England. This bodes well for the future if he maintains his progression.

Im really excited by this signing, he has looked like a real prospect for a while and i really wanted us to take a punt on him! Cant believe we actually did.

Mentioned it in the ITK thread, but in Alli's video he mentions how MK Dons are in 2nd place although they are now actually in 1st.

So I wonder when that video was really done.

Dele Alli a very good longterm signing for #thfc. Developing well under Karl Robinson at MK Dons. Mobile midfield powerhouse, still learning

I'd guess today as he was seen at the training center. And MK are 2nd in the league.

Box to Box CM. I would be surprised if he wasn't loaned out again next season but if he was in the 1st team squad, I would say back up to Mason.

Just watched the Spurs video of him. We do have some pretty crappy interviewers don't we? It is all a bit cringeworthy (as a previous poster said), however as for Dele, he does seem like a really down to earth young man. Hope we bring him through slowly and he ends up being top draw for us. COYS!

 

[Sweech]

Damn. For some reason the table on transfermarkt doesn't have Bristol's last result.

He can play anywhere in midfield, DM, CM or AM. I`m really excited about this signing, I don`t think we will be loaning him out next season, I expect him to be banging on the door, he`s very, very good.

Honestly, I don`t expect this kid to be backup for long. Yes it`s a big jump from League 1 to the PL but one I fully expect the kid to make.
