I don't see what he said shows that he hasn't come to terms with anything just expressing a heartfelt regret but hey I'm not a psychologist

Its sad to look at what happened, but Dele was responsible for it. He was given multiple chances by the club; but chose to stay out at night drinking, taking drugs, partying. Late for training, not putting in the effort, distracting over players with his antics.
At the end of the day, he was an immature prick, who got away with it when things were going well, but when he needed to put his head down and ditch the partying, he turned it up to 11 and instead preferred to get sucked off by hookers on TikTok.
Bit strong. He came to the pro game very young and a lot of factors derailed him.He'd been sexually abused as a kid and had a bit of a rough upbringing that came flooding to the surface in adulthood. Couple that with the incredible pressure of being an elite level player at that age, hamstring injuries, pill addiction, being burgled and assaulted ... quite a few factors in play.
You can make a case that he was immature, but I don't think that, on the whole, he was being a 'prick' (that stupid covid vid aside). It was a pressure cooker situation that he couldn't mentally deal with.
Would he qualify as club trained in Europe?
Do you pass tissues around
Eeeeeeuuuuuwwwww
Popping painkillers and sleeping pills. Sitting in nightclubs at 3am when he has training the next day. Partying with hookers in hotel rooms. The guy was still dealing drugs whilst he was at MK Dons.
Yeah....he's a prick; and in typical behavior of a prick - it's everyone else's fault.
He said that many people around him were trying to help him. Does that sound like someone who's blaming other people?
Sad but true.
Very sad I agree but the poster was way OTT
His underwear model girlfriend dumping him because he was spending too much time on Fortnite should have been his first warning.
good, she's an absolute Vampire anyway. She'll be quickly on the hunt for the next millionaire footballer who's more in the spotlight and based in England than Dele currently is
It was THE moment of All Or Nothing. I admit to re-watching it.Dele Alli. Smooth operator
Dele Alli's brother
In seriousness, it's amazing how much wisdom there was in what Jose said to him. It's such a stark parallel to life, in general, where one day you're a kid thinking "bore off old man", the next you're a man wondering what happened
That and the great inspirational leader D.Levy giving a quiet pep talk to Tanguy
No, I think we signed him at 19
From MK Dons...I think?
I bet you're fun at parties.
Probably a professional mourner!
People glibly overlooking what being sexual assaulted as a child does to folk. That he chose to self medicate is not in the least bit unusual. That he burned as brightly for however short a time tells you how strong he was. We have your back Dele. Just find some peace.
Quite right mate and so called fans calling him a Prick need to take a long hard look at themselves!
Foul voted as certainly not Spurs!!
