Ex-Spurs Player Dele

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Think it's safe to say we aren't going to buy him off Everton in the summer .
Dele's destiny is early retirement and eSports/twitch TV
Stop looking backwards.
I love the player that Dele was. But we cannot keep looking to go back to the good old days. We need to look forwards and Dele needs to focus on himself and being happy first and foremost.
Dele was good. Very good at times. But I don’t get this sentimentalist bullshit from some of the Spurs fans. He’s not a club legend like Kane, possibly neither a club icon, you could say he was the poster boy of our best team in the last few decades. Guy’s a millionaire and living his life, on the back of a few top years in football, what more would you want? Some people don’t have the motivation to stay at the top of their game.
What the fuck
Still; looks like he's got a nice little side number doing painting n' decorating lined up for when he's done in Turkey.
(Should stop getting photographed with Gooners tho'.)

It's not sentimentalist bullshit.
He was LOVED here and people have very fond memories of him..... It sucks the way things turned out.
Have you ever been to either WHL’s, or Wembley? If you have seen him play you would understand.
I think the number of Spurs fans who would want him back or feel sorry for him now is exceptionally small. However he was an idol to the fans and that’s easy to hold dear even after his fall from his huge peak.
Dele, on his day , was magical and a joy to watch!
I wish him nothing but the best in life!
Us football fans are a sentimental bunch though aren’t we? The players who have been lucky enough to pull on a shirt for us (& by extension every player of every club who have supporters) are part of a continuous dialogue or continuum (I know - it’s becoming a bit too philosophical).
In his pomp he threatened to become a Peters, a Gilzean or dare I say it a John White - all players from before my time but players I’ve taken on board as part of the fabric of the club. A player with a unique gift of losing markers, ghosting into space and creating the unforeseen or unpredictable.
He played a key role in a side that should’ve gained a league winners medal or an FA Cup, or even a CL.
The way his career has unfolded is a real shame. All of his millions (if he does have any left) can’t buy what he was on the cusp of. I loved him at Spurs and thought of him as uniquely Spurs in yes, a sentimental way
Hope things turnaround for him
I will ALWAYS have a soft spot for the bloke. If you were there when he was good and killing teams for Spurs and you are Spurs you feel it. I'm utterly amazed this needs explaining to anyone who claims to support Spurs. I love Archibald, Crooks Falco and Galvin Roberts and Miller I love David bloody Howells I love Erik Edman and Stefan Iverson I love Jermain Defoe and yes, I love Dele Alli. I hope he finds peace and security away from football.
Paul McCartney couldn't get a tune out of him at this point.
David Howells used to have his critics too
He was a bit limited but always put a shift in and never hid!
Same goes for Terry Fenwick
No fenwick was totally shit. The only thing he did that was good for spurs was that header at anfield.
He does get some kudos (from a Scot) though for his superb defending against Maradona in 86
He followed Peter Reid in not bringing that cheating coke head down well outside the area!
What an absolute bum
What an absolute bum
still has another year to go on his contract with Everton with the same massive weekly wage we were giving him.
I dont think he cares at all.
I assume theyll just cancel his contract in the summer and pay him off, Dyche wont stand for it
Kid won the football lottery and lost the will or desire to improve himself. It happens a lot in football but he's probably the biggest waster of recent times.
I wonder if they can cancel the contract as there are clauses with Tottenham. Imagine he was good they could cancel the contract and resign him rather than pay any clauses.
Same difference pay him and have him sit at home
