It's a no from me.
I don't rate those guys at all. They seem pretty basic. The bit where they said "his recent managers didn't know where to play him" - that's a lazy cliché and this isn't on the managers, it's on Dele. As a pro without blistering pace, you should be adaptive and smart/focused enough to excel in your assigned role. It's not like they are playing him in Goal or as a CDM. He's been given AM, CAM roles and should be owning it. If he can't adapt, and he has never been a pace merchant, then what good is he to a top team?
No chance he gets a look in here. He needs to lower his expectations and lose the ego, find somewhere he fits in with his limited skill-set.
In fact, why the fuck are we still talking about him? He was good for about 18 months for us and hasn't been good for over half a decade
He keeps popping up on my YouTube feed and other places I look at online.
What's your opinion about inviting him to train with us, and let Ange have a look at him, as per what those two guys were disucssing?
You have to consider that 75% of all posters on this forum, lives in the cellar, and has a black belt in Football Manager!!!
So they know EVERYTHING on EVERY football player on planet earth!
......on a computer game
Looks like Mister Fancy Pants!
That dude that makes fancy step-overs, only to be sent to the moon by some Lewis Dunk cunt 2 seconds later!
Seems Le Digt to me!!
Wanting Dele back is the reason Spurs fans don't deserve or get trophies
It's not like we've been winning any trophies without him tbf.

The thing that encourage me is that with all the new FFP rules(and whatever it's called) in place, i think we are one of very few clubs out there that actually can afford to buy expensive players

I think it's a stupid idea from a couple of muppets whose parents bought them a studio. Honestly, why would we even want to? His attitude and work ethic (while totally understandable, I'd be getting high and fucking all day if I was a young millionaire) are miles away from what we're trying to foster. What message would we be sending? Fuck about, waste millions and years of your career, we'll give you a second chance at the top. Fuck no!
What should we be sending? Game-face, pro-mode, lean, hungry, prove yourself, fight for the club and the fans. That's not Dele, and hasn't been since 2018.
This isn't a hollywood redemption arc story, he's simply not good enough for the top of the PL. Maybe/probably not even the PL at all. One well-hit half-volley in training aside, he's shown nothing in years.
Griezmann is a superb player.
Dembele is all pace but zero brains. Just runs in a straight line, head down...delivery is very often awful, unsurprisingly. He's a glorified Theo Walcott. And he's an unprofessional git.
I've never really seen anything that special from griezmann whenever I've seen him play.Lots of dropping deep and playing little 2 yard passes but not really clinical in front of goal. Atleast dembele is exciting and I've seen him affect games when I have seen him play.
they got 60m for him! unreal business for madrid. proper had united over.
would take chiesa for 25m. its a gamble worth taking for that price all day long.
the games he can play hes an upgrade on werner and son, even if you only get 15 games out of him a year its worth it.

by far. decent quality on the ball and a dog off it.

Yeah Griezmann is only Atletico Madrid's all-time highest goalscorer and one of La Liga's best foreign imports ever. Also scored 40+ goals for France and gotta be one of their top 3 assist providers in history...playing a lot of his 130+ caps as a MF. How many times did he single-handedly save Simeone & Deschamps' asses. The guy's won the WC, Europa League, Liga, Copa del Rey...reached the CL final, WC & Euros runner-up, was in the running for the Ballon d'Or multiple times. But yeah he ain't special.
If you get excited by a pace merchant running in a straight line, go watch track & field. Ask any Rennes, Dortmund, Barca or PSG fan who knows their footy and they'll you what Dembele is worth...and how fast they'd bite your hand off for a swap with Griezmann.
You're obviously entitled to your opinions, but calling Griezmann nothing special and raving about Dembele, you gotta be on some serious sauce, pal.
Was it you made that monstrosity and put a capital V in Alfie's surname?
