2021/22 Dele Alli

Worrying when a central defender is picked before your new midfielder signing in midfield.
Luxury player ?

Especially when it’s a bang average Championship level central defender…

 

[Welshy]

Just another terrible signing and it was so obvious. Another dud we won't be able to shift because he's on too much money and has a terrible attitude.

Getting hammered on Talksport and called a pointless signing and a waste of time. It’s hard to disagree.

It's only pointless because Lampard seemingly doesn't rate him. Which when you consider the other midfield options is baffling.

 

[Caolam]

Just another square peg in a team of square pegs.

Wasn't the deal - if he plays less than 10 games he's on a free loan or something?

They're probably just waiting on that and then sending him back...

I wouldn't say so Dele isnt a conventional central Midfielder he's an attacking player suitable for playing further up the pitch. I think Frank brought holgate in as someone who could deputize for a defensive mid. As holgate played pretty deep throughout the game.

 

[Zeitgeist]

Still getting slammed despite not even playing, keep it up lads

Otoh it reminds me of vlahic, or whats his name. he never got a decent chance, sub in lost games, drowned out with the rest and boom: hes not all that-tag. Then he gets transfered and suddenly becomes a valuable player that we didnt see, or our manager of the day didnt see.

It would be nice if lamps at least give him a start, or a few decent subs. he runs much more than dcl and passes better too. he also causes a lot of unrest in opposition defence. actually, wednesday game could be perfect, but i also thought that of yesterdays game.

 

[billyblue80]

What was the point on bringing him in? He needs a few games especially as DCL is none existent.

 

[knowing your history]

I think he'll start the next two. No idea if it will work but feels time now with Van De Beek injured (can't play next weekend anyway) and Iwobi will surely be out for midweek so presents opening at top end of midfield.

No, we own him

Seen this a number of times now over the last few days so figured I'd bold it in regards to the Dele deal:

Dele is owned by Everton for 2.5 years.

He costs us no fee until he plays 20 games (can't this season) after which we pay Spurs £10m. Other unknown bonuses after that.

We cannot "give" him back to Spurs unless they buy him off us like any normal transfer.

So, we 'could' sell him for £50m in the summer and claim that as pure profit?

Seems like the weirdest transfer ever
