Aidan Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 What a player he was when he broke through. If he came here and replicated half of his return from his first two seasons it would be incredible. If not, he's still miles better than the depth we have now. Everton could be a perfect fit for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too often makes the wrong decision and often goes missing for large chunks of the game. He tries hard but often he's over exerting himself as he's poor positional.

I understand he hasn't quite replicated this the past two years but injuries have been part to blame. He's miles ahead of any player we have sat on our bench, and would fit in the Gomes/Sigurdsson role perfectly and also do a better job.

Sigurdsson got 13 goals and 6 assists for us one season. We finished 8th as he done little else (although to be fair to him he was asked to do a job he simply doesn't have the skills for). Had we had a player that could press we'd probs have finished higher even if they did score less they'd have helped us more defensively. I'd also imagine they'd help more going forward as if Sigurdsson wasn't involved in a goal he tended not to be involved at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James is a player who epitomises this. He can touch the ball half as much as Decoure but as long as he is using those touches to take pressure off the team in a tight situation and redistribute the ball to a low pressure teammate which he often does then he is worth his shirt on that alone .... Whether he gets assists or not. When he is not getting the ball and the team is overrun like at the weekend then he should be off.... Absolutely. DCL scored 2 at the weekend but his best moments were doing the hard yards and graft when we were under the cosh. Shukes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo 2.0 Posted November 27, 2020 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 Again, someone that could be improved upon if people looked hard enough on the continent. In the early years Alli had a lot of promise but I don't think it's untrue to say that he hasn't lived up to his potential, I'm surprised that it's taken so long for him to be dropped to be honest. Like Pogba, a move to PSG would be perfect so that he can do all the rainbow flicks in the world and appear on viral Instagram stories. Not someone that I'd be particularly excited about signing, especially given what we would pay. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlbanyNYToffee Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 I don't know much about Dele personally as he's rarely talked about here in the States so I'm approaching this from a different angle. Generally speaking I don't think you can take what is happening to him now as the nail in the coffin if you will - Jose had Salah, De Bruyne and Schurrle at Chelsea (all at the same time) and none of them were deemed quality enough to play for him. Dele may be a total knob and never amount to anything more than he already is/was but I'm not going to let the last 3 months make that decision for me. Certainly the scouting dept and Carlo need to do their due diligence here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trigger Posted January 31, 2022 Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 No Thanks. If we sign Dele Alli and DVB we're repeating the same old mistakes of buying players simply because they become available and not to fill the priority positions we need. DVB is an Attacking Midfielder and so is DVB - for now job done until we can shift Gomez. It's a CB and DM we need now as priorities. Doing business with Daniel Levy also means you will be overpaying and never get the money back you spend. Lets go look elsewhere for what we actually need. chicagoblue and Bailey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
