He was one of the most productive fullbacks one the league in that respect

Offensively, I had no issue with Serge at all.
So currently the two leave options total 55.2% of the vote. This obviously indicates the overall majority of us wouldn't miss him this season. Split this figure though and it's clear that most of the group (43/21) would like the club to cash in now as they feel his value will only be going down and that a loan deal would be of little benefit to the club or Dele.
It's also interesting to see how many of you remain convinced the player, together with the support of the manager, can still turn the situation around and regain his form.
My own view is that for whatever mixture of reasons (personal life, management handling,complacency,attitude) Dele and Spurs would be best suited to make the transition and part company this window. He needs a total change of environment and an opportunity to integrate positively within a new squad of players and club set up.
If we could get a figure of around £35m - £40m then I'd sell him, thank him and wish him well for the future. His current form however would suggest that is not going to happen. A loan deal does have the advantage of him possibly returning to his best and his valuation soaring. In that case we could be in a nice position of selling him to his foster club for a very tidy sum or bringing him home. (something he may decide he doesn't want to do though).
Maybe this thread title will need to be revived for the next transfer window. The results of that one should be fascinating in comparison to now.

It's been a two year 'dip'.
That's what I'd miss more: his anthem. That's an immense 12th player wall of sound on a good day. But I think the last time I sang it with any real conviction was in the old stadium.
I said I think we should sell now but there is a part of me that wonders how he'd play alongside Bale and Reguilon. First season Dele would have bloody loved it.

regardless of whether he should stay or go, now really isn't the time to cash in. One his form has dipped and two the economic climate.
We need to hope this is either a fire up his arse or a loan which gives him a massive wake-up call. Either way I don't believe there is anything to be lost keeping him on the books for another season, maybe two.

I am really not sure.
We should not sell him just "to highest bidder" -we should get substantial funds from him still!
Absolutely no way in hell would I sell him for 35 mil. That gets you Sessegnon+Clarke... or a LB that had played 1 season of senior football by age of 23 + 5 mil.
I would sell him for 55 mil or higher. If no one comes in with such offers - heck, let's take a chance and keep him. It's not like we have excess amount of HG players anyway.
This "current economic climate" stuff is kinda over the top here. WE specifically are in bit more of difficulties as we just finished the new stadium. But generally - look around. Wolves has splashed out 80 mil ; Pool roughly 90 mil and not finished ; ManU paid 40 mil for bench player not to mention Chelsea.

The only way I would sell is if we could get enough to directly fund the Skriniar deal, otherwise we may as well keep him and hope he sorts himself out.
Be careful posting this on here mate. There are people on here who think he plays in the same position that he played in his first couple of seasons.
Back in 2016 you'd never think that we'd be selling Dele while keeping Dier.
How times changes eh?

Hey Guids. But what about those of us that understood he moved positions but was equally shit in them all? Can we read this article?
I would sell him to a direct rival for Top 4 and hoped they played and centered their attack around him. That's how confident I am that he is rubbish.
Absent any offers coming from such clubs I would sell him for beer money. On the basis of football performance we will not regret the loss of this player. And I repeat now what I said last summer he will not receive another 10 caps for England in his career. A pure beneficiary of a system that no longer exists in our play.

Wolves net spend <£3M, lumping them in to prove your point is poor form.
There have been 3 transfers >£40M this summer, all to Chelsea - the only club really spending big right now.
So, if we sell its almost certainly under £40M and on current form probably to the blue scum. Why the fuck do that?
He stays and sorts himself out...don't know why its even a debate, given his contract.
I would never sell Dele... he's arguably better than Son.
And yes, that is bait. Shh.
