Dele would get murdered by the Barca crowd for the amount of times he mis-controls the ball and gives it away cheaply.

He produces moments of magic but he's got a long way to go, that's the scary thing.

It's also a bit scary how many people that don't see this.

This article hints at the possibility but then that kind of story was always on the cards once Barcelona had the cash to flash...I give it no credence at the moment.

Very much stating the obvious ~ it is perfect 'journo' material to take a punt on. While Dele attracts plaudits when he puts in one of his dazzzling displays, I don't think those games he has when he doesn't set the world alight go unnoticed. For sure, Barcelona may well have him on the radar. However, they only tend to splash top cash for established top players. I'm guessing here, but I think the price DL will put on him will be much more than Barca prepared to cough up. Based on this very flimsy evidence, I am guessing Deli will not go during this window. But What would I know, I'm a hockey player. lol

Dele has a lot to learn before he reaches the level of Barcelona.

Yes he's a fine young player who had a very good season. However he does go missing in games and there are many aspects of his game that need to go up a notch before he's the complete player.

TBH I can't see Barca paying crazy money for alli for the reasons above levy wouldn't pick up the phone for under 100m no way this will happen anytime soon

Putting our own particular judgement of their relative abilities to one side, Dele is 21 whilst Neymar is 25.

There are also clickbait stories stating Dele is the most in-demand 21-year-old in world football.

Real Madrid just signed a 16-year-old for £38 million (Vinicius Junior).

Given all this, I suspect Levy's bargaining position for Dele with Barca will be:

The Neymar transfer fee in full plus a 20 per cent sell on clause of any future transfer. ;)

I'm telling you now Eriksen is the player to worry about in regards to Barca.

Is there a better Iniesta replacement?

Since Barca's recruitment has been Grade A shite recently I'm not too bothered and signing 1 in 3 MOTD player Coutinho sums them up perfectly atm

Coutinho for 100m is a joke. Very overrated. More worried about Liverpool have 100m to spend on other players.

As for Dele, don't think he has the consistency yet for Barca to be interested.
