Can't think of any examples of it happening but presumably you could technically recall him for squad depth while AFCON is on and then re-loan him back to Port Vale at the end of the window so he'll only have played for 2 clubs
Most people said this was a bad spot for Alfie to land.
On a bad team he’s still showing his class. Things you love to see.
He’s the new Hoddle with those raking pings
He will be a PL player IMO
Let’s give him a chance when we can rather than keep buying potential young players from abroad.
why the porn music though?
He saw the Alex Scott performance and took it personally.
Thought you said he was a no10?

His best position is probably as a no 10 - although for E u19's he's also played RW as England were over stocked in central players and too few wide players.
Yesterday Port Vale were being overrun in first half so Devine was switched to more of a deep lying playmaker - and the video and touch map reflects that. When we bought him from Wigan he was better known as a deep lying midfield player, its Spurs coaches who seem to have moved him forward.
He's a pretty versatile midfielder good at both passing and tackling, an extremely good motor and willingness to put in a full shift wherever he's playing.

We’ve GOT to a) hold on to this kid and b) give him plenty of chance to make it with us.
if we get european football next year hell get plenty of minutes with much better tema mates that should benefit him.
bissouma, sarr, bentancur, devine. thats a strong 4 for 2 spots.

Keep him there this season. His first loan, first full season of mens football and he's doing well and getting game time, best not to interrupt that. Let Ange assess next preseason whether he's ready to be part of a squad hopefully with European football or whether he needs another loan.
Ollie Arblaster (another really talented England u20 midfielder that was on loan at Vale) has been recalled by Sheffield United so might see quite a bit more of Devine playing in the deeper role for Vale rather than as a 10

Exactly the kind of thing I love to hear. A football player should be like Benta, Kulu, Porro etc. who bring technique but don't disappear for long stretches of the game the way Son, Johnson or ...Kane sometimes would.
Shame he's probably not ready to play for us yet. If Ange is still around when he is, the versitality will be a big plus for him.
Sounds like a proper player! Let’s hope he makes it
