If you can't tell he was messing about jezz. Dele is well spoken and pretty mesured. I've always thought a connection with his family in Africa will benefit him. He seemed very unset by the name Alli.

I hope Dele can turn this whole negative situation around and play to his full potential with Spurs but if it means leaving Spurs I'd be gutted and wish him all the best.

As an elite athlete, I doubt he eats an abundance of baked beans, to be honest. He's an attacking midfielder in the Premier League not an old bird called Glenda running a builder's cafe on the outskirts of Kettering.

I mean you look at the way the words Jose used to describe Dele during the post match after Everton. It is completely at odds with what he was demanding during the entire amazon documentary. He is begging for a reaction and some anger and I'd go as far to say that's closer to a fact than an opinion given we were given a first hand look.

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.

Neither did Lo Celso and we love him.

I would be fine with him being sold, but I’d prefer that money be invested somewhat in a young, versatile creative player like Dominik Szoboszlai.

I think this is all part of Jose trying to give us a more professional feel. With Poch it was one big happy family until it wasn’t. With Jose now it’s “be nice that’s great, but win first, then be nice”.

He mentioned it on the documentary.
I think your missing the point I was making an example of Dele’s immaturity not his dieting habits

Personally I hope he bags a couple of goals on Tuesday and in order to balance the squad we move on a different player. Even if he doesn’t start currently I still think he’s one hell of an option to bring off the bench if needing a goal. He desperately needs to adapt his game but I refuse to believe he wouldn’t perform better than Lucas Moura currently is at RF.

I mean I'm 33 and I've never boiled an egg, I'm not sure I see the correlation between baked beans and maturity, if I'm honest

It’s part of growing up, learning to fend for yourself.
seriously you’ve never boiled an egg at 33? ?

Fried or Scrambled. You don't need more than 2 options in your Egg delivery.

If you don't have a soldier to dunk in it, its lacking.

Poached, mate - on a slice of ham and a muffin with a liberal drizzling of hollandaise - breakfast of kings!

Make sure the water is boiling then time for 3 minutes so it is a soft boiled egg letting you dunk your soldiers.

Edit
@Donki beat me to it.
You can also beat an egg but learn to boil one first then come back to me.

Yep, He was bullishly confident today which is great.
When asked about Bale and Regulion he said i'd rather focus on my team today, love that attitude, its like its never good enough lets focus on today and win, R U T H L E S S.

If Dele isn't up to it and it can help add the balance to the squad puzzle then fine, I 100% jose with this re-build.

There's something about Poached I find very offensive to my working class roots I'm afraid. Also the Yolk is something which I tend to put up with rather than enjoy and try and limit it's involvement.

Re Dele, I'm concerned. Even though he's young, he does come across as very schoolboyish - I've not watched Ep 7-9 of All or Nothing yet, so have only the first six to call on, but the manner in which he sat in Mourinho's office while Jose was talking to him really reminded me of the young first-job type who acts really unprofessionally through inexperience and just doesn't want to hear it. I stress that's just my impression of him and I have very little to base that information on other than what I've seen of him in that doc and in interviews.

There is doubtless talent there - we've seen it. But whether it's a question of he's simply peaked and now is not going to be able to get any better or change or if it's attitudinal there's an obstacle there somewhere.

Ach, what you can do?
