Its not irrelevant that he looked poor playing in a team where everyone was playing poor to the point where we were in relegation form and the manager got the sack!
So youre saying him looking poor in a poor team to the point where the manager got sacked and then the next manager singled him out and dropped him, publicly slagging him, is irrelevant to his performances?
I disagree.
He played well today.Pathetic that SC members are so entrenched in an irrational dislike of one of our best players of the modern era that when he offers a glimmer of improvement he just attracts snide and spiteful remarks asunder.
Are you quoting the right poster? Not sure how what you say is relevant to my post,He played well today.
Still has to be moved on in the summer.
Yes, I quoted the right poster.Are you quoting the right poster? Not sure how what you say is relevant to my post,
I kind of understand - but at the same time peak Dele brings a certain flair and joy to the game. I kind of like that in him, as I think we need a bit of infectious confidence.Played well but still want him out.
Then why were you taking about wanting him gone? Unless I’m struggling to keep up with changes in the English language, I don’t believe anything in my post referred to that or could provide reason to infer any opinion on that from me. All I said was that it’s pathetic that even when he plays all people are piling in to get on his back, so I’m confused why you’d take the time to respond to something I didn’t say.Yes, I quoted the right poster.

'one of our best players of the modern era'??Then why were you taking snot wanting him gone?

Strange by whatever makes you happy ?
I respect your opinion and won’t denigrate it as I get why people might disagree if they can’t remember beyond the last couple of seasons, but if you don’t think what he achieved during his first few seasons with us elevates him above 90% of what we’ve had in the premier league era then I can only assume we watch football for very different reasons.'one of our best players of the modern era'??
Do me a favour.
Dele is what he is. I have said countless times on this board. He is a player of moments and will always be. The problem has been recently those moments no longer happen at the rate they once did.
Wolves were pathetic today and that's not his or any other players fault as we had to take advantage of that and we did, but the problem comes when we want to control games of football against better sides.
You can't carry a second striker when you have two wide wingers against good sides. Yes he came deep today but when we play teams unlike Wolves that can be arsed to put pressure on, Dele will struggle.
It was always my concern with Jose going that certain players will be kept on due to Levy liking them and Dele was the main one with Winks being another.
So a player who has been poor for the last 2 years (some might argue longer) but was decent when he first came should be kept on? Just in case?I respect your opinion and won’t denigrate it as I get why people might disagree if they can’t remember beyond the last couple of seasons, but if you don’t think what he achieved during his first few seasons with us elevates him above 90% of what we’ve had in the premier league era then I can only assume we watch football for very different reasons.
Which is fine. That’s your choice and you’re entitled to it.
"decent"? back-to-back young player of the year and back-to-back PFA team of the season is "decent"?So a player who has been poor for the last 2 years (some might argue longer) but was decent when he first came should be kept on? Just in case?
Right, ok.
