Popular Post duncanmckenzieismagic Posted November 4, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 If we can get him back to anywhere near the player he was there is definitely a place in this side for him. I would love to see him in the Doucoure role just behind DCL He is making all the right noises and Dyche must see something in him to believe in him I keep thinking back to the Palace game when he came on to turn the game and keep us up, that was a tantalising glimpse of what the real Dele Alli can do for us and would love to see more of it MikeO, StevO, London Blue and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Tiger Posted November 6, 2023 Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 Hoping he can find his footing and enjoy the game again. He was such a joy to watch when he was younger and there seems to be real mutual love between him and the club after everything he's gone through. It would be wonderful for it to work out.

Hoof_It_Nev Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 I still think we'll just use him as much as we can towards the end of the season without triggering a payment. Then reassess from both sides if we want to re-sign him on a free. Hopefully we'll be smart about it, no one really knows what kind of player he can be right now.

Popular Post London Blue Posted November 7, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 I really want Dele to play for us again, he is such a talent, and been through so much in his life. It would just be great to see him enjoying playing football at Everton. Matt Tiger, StevO, KinL and 4 others 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuffRob Posted November 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 It would be great to see him a player reborn and playing in a blue shirt. I think Dyche is a decent man manager, and I think he will have genuinely been a great support to him as he tries to get his career back on track. I think the hard working squad environment will do him the world of good. I really hope that Spurs can come to some agreement with us. Hopefully they will realise we are genuinely on our arses moneywise and not taking the piss or trying to pull a fast one.

Matt Tiger Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 Dyche's points about directness is both a source of frustration but also why I think he's progressing our play at the moment. Sometimes we hoof it forward or rush to play forward without letting the shape develop, and that's certainly frustrating. But then I think back to the last four or so years of football, waiting for the perfect ball which almost never materializes, then being forced to play back, then ultimately being forced to hoof it forward anyway.

StevO Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 The best part about that clip for me is Dele watching how we play and it sounds like he’s looking to see where he can make a difference. I love Doucoure’s work ethic, but Dele is the only player who can challenge him for that position. The dream if he could get back to his best, as a counter attacking player he could be lethal for us.

If yes, then Onana would be filling Gana’s space, as in fact he’s already been doing as the recent starter over Gana. The Onana/Gana position is roughly “controlling” midfielder, with both advancing and defending responsibilities. Doucouré, otoh, has been consistently an attacking midfielder (ACM), who’s often nearly as far advanced as DCL. (Which is precisely why we all wish he had a more consistent shot. Thus, Gana’s absence would deprive us of an important first-off-the-bench plug-in player ..... on those strangely rare occasions when Dyche actually uses a sub. Edit — It may be that Matt’s referring to Doucouré doing the job Dele would do, if ever he gets healthy. Rather than Doucouré replacing Gana. Sorry if I misread Matt’s point.

Gwlad Posted December 7, 2023 Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 Dyche is exactly the manager that players, who are injured or have issues, need. Practical approach to regaining fitness and getting the support they need, most of all no rushing anyone back. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harv Posted December 7, 2023 Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 Dele has had a tough time both as a youngster and more recently. I wish him well. Personally, I would cut him loose and hope he finds a club to continue playing and hopefully show his talent once again but I don’t think we are in a position to take such risks.
