And with what? 7 games left? He's also about 2 or 3 goals of matching the likes of:

Amazing when you do that comparison.

Just a quick appreciation post for this...


16 league goals now, only three behind Kane (though Alli hasn't been injured, of course).

Touch wood, you'd have to think that both are on track for 20+ goal seasons. Unreal.


Dele is fucking something else! How nice would it be to get a 1st and 2nd in PL goal scorers....... has that ever happened before?
 
@atjfootball (a Liverpool fan from Chelmsford lol) reckons he wouldn't swap Lallana, Mane or Coutinho for Dele. Deluded mugs.

I wouldn't swap him for all three together!

Reminds me of my favourite ever RAWK post - Raheem Sterling is better than Gareth Bale.....

Learn something new every day.
 
On Sunday Supplement earlier they were trying to use the example of United paying Jesse Linguard £80-£100k a week to show why we will lose Alli...."why wouldn't he join United to get paid the same or more?"

None of them found their way to the answer - which is United are fucking shit now, and going down the league to sacrifice CL football and the commercial possibilities that come from being successful isn't worth it.

It's more than that anyway. Even if Utd get CL next season, they obviously can offer more money, BUT you'd have to work under a cunt as your manager, and with players who aren't as tight nit as at Spurs. Money is a factor but you still have to go to work every single day to earn it and right now he gets to work under the best coach in the world in terms of developing young talent - you could argue he is one of the best managers in the world full stop, but certainly in terms of developing players I really don't think there is anyone better. And he gets to spend his days with his mates in a great environment. These things matter too. Will Dele move eventually? Probably, because I think his ceiling is high and how high isn't even possible to judge at the moment, but he doesn't need to move to one of the top few clubs at this age while he is still developing. He has other massively talented players around him as well, he doesn't need to leave to get that. This was something Sheringham said the other day. Anyway, I think we'll win the FA cup this season and that will further motivate our team to stay and win the title in the next few years.
 
And a midfielder to boot, who is expected to put in far more contribution in other areas that a lot of his players in that list

Meh. He's almost certainly a second striker. He's quite frequently one of our most furthest up the pitch players every week.
