[QUOTE="todd1882, post: 2471856, member: 11727"] That horse has bolted already. For those that didn't recognize them very early his warts are glaring for all to see now. He is not a fundamentally sound player and never was. Goals? Yes, he scored them but what else was there? The whole "Dele's been shit today so watch him pop up with the winner" thing was real. He didn't always, or frequently for that matter, pop up with a winner but it did happen and that's what sticks in folks' minds. But he is not a good footballer (from a technical perspective) nor a particularly smart footballer and the tribal bias perhaps prevents folks from seeing on this board but others outside do. I mean, he has been dropped from England. That should have been the wake up call for supporters to recognize there might be a problem and what you think he is he might not be. He is a limited footballer with limited tactical scope. I am not concerned with Dele's future. I jsut hope it happens away from Spurs and he is replaced with a fundamentally sound player that can help us for the 89 minutes that Dele usually hurt us. We can let the new front 3 concern themselves with the goals. Let Dele get on with his work at Villa or Palace or Wham and then folks can admit the reality before their very eyes. [/QUOTE]
