Please don't sell him because of manager that should be gone soon anyway. He has a long-term contract and his stock is probably at the lowest point it'll reasonably go.
I’m more than happy if he stays but also not overly fuessed if he goes, he was playing poor long before mourinho arrived

So Dele is our Pogba then.
A player Mourinho doesn't know how to use or manage, and used as a scapegoat to cover for his own mismanagement.

Wonder if Dele will do what Pogba did, decide to hang around expecting to last longer than the manager.

Nah Dele has just played badly for two years and we csnt keep carrying a passenger

Why is the blame for this at Mourinhos foot rather than Dele though. If we was at his best we wouldn't consider selling

People don't like Mourinho. In the same way any transfer not going our way is because of Levy.

If we let him go and bring in someone who better fits the squad we are building so be it

Out of all our most valuable commodities, selling Dele over the likes of Sonny/Kane/Lo Celso/Ndombele is probably the best in terms of loss/reward outcome. He hasnt been good enough for a while and if it allows us to go out and get 2 from CB/CM/CF then maybe thats what we need for progression.

Dele was given every opportunity after JM arrived and did nothing with it after a bit of a dead cat bounce.

Precocious player whose ceiling seems a bit lower than we all expected. Spurs didn’t miss his heavy first touch today. Sell him on.

Depends on the price we receive and how we reinvest could be a solid bit of squad ma

it’s clear he hit a ceiling early on and then couldn’t find the next layer in his game to kick on once he was a known entity

whether that’s talent or application he won’t be the first or last player to have a meteoric rise and then flat line or go backwards

a shame as looked like he could be a mainstay for us and England for a decade a couple of years ago

We will have a massive HG problem if Dele goes just so we are all aware. Likely leaving out one or two of our new signings.

Draxler is a myth. There’s no way I’d want him, even though he’s technically much better than dele, he’s barely played for psg. Yeah, he might be motivated, but I don’t see him as an ideal replacement.

So we're sacrificing Dele because josé can't manage him
Well also because he's performed under par for about 2 years, doesn't really fit into our system and could bring in a lot of money.

I don't think Dele is good enough to build a team around and I genuinely think he's been holding us back for a while as we've tried to shoehorn him into the side. I bet we wouldn't have scored 5 today if he was on the pitch as he would've slowed down our passing and fumbled away half of the chances by dawdling on the ball or taking weak shots straight at the keeper.

Yeah shame we are considering selling Dele when Eze is already transferred and Grealish signed new contract

He’s been poor for the best part of 2-3 years, ignoring some purple patches but don’t let that get in the way of your agenda lol

As much as I agree, I’d still be gutted if he left.
