Article The Curious Case of Dele Alli

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Quite right mate and so called fans calling him a Prick need to take a long hard look at themselves!

Foul voted as certainly not Spurs!!
Oh he's 100% a gooner. Shocked by the so called fans going along with the idiot. But also bemused by the dumb 'that great talk by Jose' stuff being ignored by Dele crap. I tell you what I bet Jose is smart enough to watch that talk and cringe. In hindsight it was utterly meaning less and not at all appropriate no wonder Ali simply looked bemused.

Dele is not Tanguy Ndombele he has demons one's that change your relationship with something as simple as closing your eyes at night. This isn't some simple tale of sporting profligacy, raped children, raped little boys, make broken adults. Pep talks don't work, years of therapy and CBT to over come the PTSD do. My honest fear is without ongoing support he puts a gun on his mouth.

Is he still mates with Dier?
 
Its sad to look at what happened, but Dele was responsible for it. He was given multiple chances by the club; but chose to stay out at night drinking, taking drugs, partying. Late for training, not putting in the effort, distracting over players with his antics.

At the end of the day, he was an immature prick, who got away with it when things were going well, but when he needed to put his head down and ditch the partying, he turned it up to 11 and instead preferred to get sucked off by hookers on TikTok.

Nope, he got addicted to painkillers and clearly has a personality due to personal issues that made him susceptible to it.

You clearly have no idea about how mental health issues affect people, and so this is frankly a post coming from a place of ignorance.
 
No sure diffrent countries si suspect there's natural drift that happens with men and their friendship groups. Men need to get so much better at maintaining their relationships.

Totally agree especially your last sentence!

As I’ve moved around the UK I’ve made friends etc but always moved on whereas Mrs B has kept hers and often goes on ‘catch ups’ etc!
 
This thread was started in 2017 (before injuries, before all the other nonsense excuses that get trotted out)...2017 folks!...that suggests there were problems with this player for all to see. Amazingly, we handed out a contract to him 2 years after this when it was abundantly clear the 'magic' was over...and we only got rid (fucking thankfully, as a 'player', and personally tragedy stuff notwithstanding) a couple seasons ago.

The problems clearly stemmed from a personality not able to cope with the fame and everything else that goes with being a premier league footballer at such a young age.

If anything we were perhaps trying to support and nurture him but some have deamons that can't be nurtured.

IDK...I think I indentified problem with basic footballing skills far before any 'deamons' began showing. His first season with us was 2015...this thread was started in 2017...he was still in what many would consider his pomp.

But I take your point...it wasn't long before 'family' started coming out of the woodwork and talking shit. But both things can be true, he fought demons, internal and external, while also being a technically deficient footballer. Both matters have hampered his attempts to revive his career. At this point let's hope he's attended to the first as I'm not sure he can do much about the second.

His raw skills were amazing.i think what you noticed was a stagnation in his development due to external issues snd nothing to do with his natural ability.

No offense mate mate im trusting the professional scouts, coaches, managers etc on this and his 'basic skills' ability.
 
Got a lot of time for him. As we all know he had a very troubled upbringing that screwed him up. Whilst his ability to play in the first team has gone, his experience and mentorship to some of our youth teams could be pretty valuable. That is, if he has worked through a lot of his demons and isn’t still partying and living life through social media. It could be a lesson for all, to keep grounded and focused. Perhaps there’s a role like that at the club when he retires?

I'm not sure that bringing in a former drug dealer and addict who threw his career away to go out partying, play Fortnite and fuck hookers is the best role model we can bring into the club to mentor our young players.

He was given plenty of chances at turning it around at Spurs, then Everton, then Turkey, now France.
 
With Alli, it's as though he made a pact with a higher spirit to optimise his talent only up to certain age, and then.....

Never seen such a sharp fall in a player, aside from maybe Torres, but even he had moments.

Curious and inexplicable.

It's all done for him. Has been for years. Not even 30.

Yeah and his upbringing had absolutely nothing to do with him going off the rails?! 🙄

When he should have been cared for and nurtured as a child, he was getting abused and being used as a drugs mule!

Don’t judge unless you’ve walked a mile in another man’s shoes!

It’s not unusual for these sort of issues to surface as someone matures and starts to realise what they went through as a child.

They can then start to blame themselves and wonder if the way they were treated was something they brought on themselves, which of course is completely incorrect.

Not sure about all that.

Whatever the exact reasons for the fall from such a height, it was as dramatic as the man's arrival.

Neither could have been predicted.

It’s only an opinion having listened to a friend dealing with people who have been through traumatic childhood events.

He’s visited hard case murderers in prison who have broken down sobbing like young children when they’ve had to recant childhood abuse stories they’d shut out for 25+ years.

Honestly you are an utter cunt and need to be fucked out of this forum - trolling wanker and not a Spurs fan.
Can someone bin this prick?
