Do you really think that other players doesn’t play video games or like fashion?

I’m talking about Dele. Not other players.

Clearly you need it drawing for you, maybe I can do some interpretive dance for you? Are you free for a zoom call later?

The issue with a transfer involving Dele is that there aren't many suitors who would provide the kind of value Levy would rightfully seek for a permanent deal. Loan agreements don't do much for Spurs financially, as it'd be more valuable to keep the player in the event the squad needs him down the stretch (plus it's not clear how much a loaned player in January would play in the closing months of a season).

If both Dele and the club are interested in parting in January, though, I think Mourinho would do well to see if a swap deal with Wolves could happen involving Ruben Neves. Neves provides cover across all of the central midfield positions, while Dele would give Wolves a goal scorer who could link up well with Jimenez. Maybe Dele would prefer a move abroad to a bigger club like PSG, but they may not be open to a permanent deal. Leicester could be a potential option if they sell Maddison next summer.

I've always said he should model his game on Thomas Muller, as he seems to have the technical attributes for it.

His work rate and physical conditioning would need to change, but that's not impossible.

He would also need to find a club that plays with that type of role in the attacking line up, as Mourinho doesn't play like that.

Too expensive an asset to not be getting in the matchday squad, if he doesn’t fit Jose’s style of play then we should move him on and bring in Sabitzer, do that and get a back-up to PEH or bring Skipp back if he’s ready to do that role then we have as good a squad as anyone with no weaknesses.

A loan could work given how high his wages are he’s too expensive an asset to not be getting in the match day squad.

It's looking increasingly likely that his time here is done.

There are a few reports of improved effort in training but I am not sure if he fits into the team anymore.

He is reportedly on £100k a week. In the current market I am not sure who will pay his transfer fee and salary.

We have to hope someone with money see themselves as the right team to get the best out of him.

I want to see Dele Alli make a come-back. Mourinho is going to break him down and remold him, hopefully the result is the same as with N'dombele who almost everyone wrote off.
