Dele

[FightingIllini]

No talent. Can't kick a football.

(He was kind of his shitty flaky worst out there, but still)

 

[Moussoko]

Why did he get tripped ffs. Would have been a class way to end his Spurs spell with that kind of goal, and it would have summarized his time with Spurs perfectly.

 

[Guido 🇺🇦]

Guido, I appreciate your defense of this player but any good player playing well and aiding a team's cause does not need such an apology. At some point, sometime it would dawn on the majority of 'haters' that the player was of worth. It hasn't for Dele. It hasn't for teams around Europe either.

People wondered what Modric did because he didn't score but Mou had to have him. RM fans rated him shit the first year but everyone of them to a person wouldn't trade his 2nd year to now. Why is that? Because Modric is a good footballer who contributes and doesn't harm his teams efforts.

Dele is an awful footballer, a god-awful footballer with no real footballing ability in the main and that is why opinion is only going one way, consistently. And that is also why he cannot adapt to any other position. His work off the ball was horrid when played deeper but his work on the ball wasn't much better. Last fall was a dead cat bounce that was solely due to, and you'll remember this term, confirmation bias and folks reacting to the shiny objects again.

If you want a player to run around a bit why don't we go out and get an actual athlete that can run with pace and power but that still wouldn't be justification for keeping that player when a footballer could be used in their place. Dele's best chance for a continued career is to drop down a level and hope a team will give him a free role or reinvent himself as a player and compete for an actual position. But he's had 5 seasons to do this and it's not easy developing actual footballing ability.

Nun nite sweet cheeks.

 

[thinktank]

That meg put £10mill back on his value.

SELL!!!!!!

 

[TheRealTI]

Thought he was great tonight. Made some very smart runs, showed off his skill and obviously drew a penalty on a nasty move.

Hope it's the start of more to come.

Oh Guido, this is beneath you. A Lukaku goal against farmers and you're crowing about it? What about the missed defensive work I highlighted? Not a single word from you.

Only for those taken by such things. PSG might up their offer to 1.6M.

 

[TonySoprano]

He's staying apparently. No issue with that let him fight for his place which he hasn't really had to do for the last 3 years..

 

[Mensa]

Incredible skill and a match winning performance to boot! He really dials it up when we need him!!!

shouldn’t sell him for less than 100mill!!!



hehehe PSG will fall for this!

 

[stevee]

Just seen the replay for Harry's 3rd.

Have to say he was fantastic in that goal.

BTW Guido you have confirmed despite all your protest that it is indeed the shiny objects to which you and everyone else is attracted. You protest with his running, effort, pressing that is supposedly offscreen but two easy plays (simple footballing plays of positioning and controlling a ball) for which he was at fault and allowed MH to bear down on our backline make no difference to you. If they weren't farmers we would have been in trouble. But let's ignore the fact that he could hurt our team and focus on a nutmeg at 6-2.

If he’s staying we really have to ship out Lamela, too many similar players.

I'd prefer Lamela as an impact sub tbh.

As in Lamela impacting on the oppo shins for the last 10 mins.

We’d have Lo Celso, Tanguy, Hobo as the starting midfield, backed up by Lamela, Winks, Sissoko and Dele. That’s 7 midfielders, more than we need.

Up front, we already have 4 wingers and 2 CFs (if we get Venicius).

 

[Bazali]

Nun nite sweet cheeks.

That was brilliant imv

 

[BoonTHFC]

Hard to judge when a player comes on when you are 5-2 up but thought he done well tonight. Good ball for Kane’s 3rd and won/took the penalty nicely

I thought Coco was a good alternative to Harry on Tuesday

I know what you're saying but it's a long season, we're competing on 4 fronts. All it takes is a couple of injuries and then we're a bit short.

I'd leave the squad as is for now, we can always try to move someone in January as well if need be.
