I’d had enough of him and that remark about Dele being called a Dick by his new teammates was ridiculous

Absolutely. At his best, 2nd only to Bale this century in ability to make your heart race.Dele to me is tippidy top - watching him play was worth the season ticket alone & no I'm not exaggerating - yes we had Kane, Sonny etc but he was electric!
Delusional? I wouldn't say so - from reading his words in full, I think it's his personal account of that time than a fact based view he was at the time a 'troubled star'.Absolutely. At his best, 2nd only to Bale this century in ability to make your heart race.
Absolutely love Dele and hope he recaptures it. Still only 29. If he could do it here...well, what a dream.
Interview does seem a bit delusional...he didn't really leave Tottenham, the club worked very hard to get him off the books (but into a situation everyone at least hoped would be good for him).
He produced truly sublime footballing moments. I believe his current predicament is more down to lazy temperament, mental health issues and I guess not a strong enough desire to train. If he can recommit himself to football I’ve no doubt he could do it.Delusional?

I wish he knew that us, as Tottenham fans, will always thank him & hold him in a high regard & would love to see his return to our stadium be it playing for us or even against us.
He would get a standing ovation none the less! I hope for it!
I cannot comment on his current mental condition is but this is what I agree with :-He produced truly sublime footballing moments. I believe his current predicament is more down to lazy temperament, mental health issues and I guess not a strong enough desire to train. If he can recommit himself to football I’ve no doubt he could do it.
When I say delusional its specifically because he says multiple times he "shouldn't have left Tottenham" and he "thought I could do it anywhere".Delusional?

I get ya!When I say delusional its specifically because he says multiple times he "shouldn't have left Tottenham" and he "thought I could do it anywhere".
He wasn't spurning Tottenham from a position of strength - he' been off it for quite a while (and was receiving a lot of abuse, especially around here), and the club had been trying to move him for some time. It wasn't really his choice.
Legend?What can it hurt to have a Spurs legend training and being around the team? If he could come back and contribute it would be amazing- and I think he still has time.
I hope we always have a spot at the training grounds for ex players that truly love the club.
