Far to early in his development to go there. Bigger & better players have gone and failed.
If this was in 2 years time I might think it was possible but no now.

Ozil has played in the biggest team in the world and won the world cup.

Exactly. He's hardly struggled to fulfil his potential. Bullshit comments from Dixon tbh.
Ozil's struggles at Arsenal have more to do with the way he's been managed and indulged rather than his actual ability.

That proves his point imo. He's won everything with the best teams around him but in an Arsenal team that is struggling somewhat he's being shown up as the luxury player he is

Wait...doesn't 'unlimitless' mean that he does not have possibility of not having a limit to his ability?
So one day he'll max out...then...? So confused. Guess that'll teach me to expect anything from uninfamous, dislegendary Gooners.

The Daily Mail have compiled a list of top U23 players in the World. Dele is no.1.
. Dele Alli (Tottenham, 20, midfielder)
There was a moment against Germany, when Dele Alli turned two defenders with one jink, that it hit you. He is special.
Alli, like Sterling, has faced criticism in his still nascent career. He is occasionally hammered for being too aggressive. But you forgive moments like that for the absolutely sensational stuff he does with the ball, for the way he is improving, for the talent he already has.
He’s noticeably stepping up too. Alli has struck 11 goals in his last 13 Premier League games, which is incredible for someone who is not playing as a striker. And there’s reason behind it too. He’s been accurate with 64 per cent of his shots, an insane tally. His partnership with Harry Kane makes you wonder where Tottenham might go.
That’s if Real Madrid or Barcelona don’t come in for Alli first. It’s not a joke to suggest he already belongs at that level. Spurs will have to fend off the vultures in the summer.
England have not had many players like Alli in their recent past. There’s no up and down with him - he just plays well. He’s one of a number of minor reasons why, watching England on Wednesday, you thought there could be something in this side.
How good can Alli be? It’s hard to say. Careers can drop in an instant. But if he continues along his upward curve then the sky genuinely is the limit.

David Pleat: Why Tottenham had to sign Dele Alli
Ex-Tottenham manager David Pleat explains why he advised his former club to sign Dele Alli.
In Gareth Southgate's first game as permanent England manager, the team lost to Germany in a friendly. However, many journalists have said the performance was laced with positives - one being the impact made by Dele Alli.
In this clip Pleat explains what he spotted in Dele as a young player.

He was practically stationary going into that tackle. There was hardly any real momentum going into that challenge. He wasn't even jogging going into that challenge let along sprinting from metres away.
It was a silly challenge but you're going way over the top with the whole leg breaking/career ending nonsense. Things always look worse in a still shot or in slow mo, watch it in real time and it's not actually that bad, IMO.
He deserved a red and maybe even the 3 match suspension but any more would've been way OTT

Think you're being a bit harsh here. That chip over Seaman was legendary.

Hopefully Lamela (at least I think we have someone of that name who plays for us) will be fit and available next season and if we continue with this 3-4-2-1 system it will give him some game time as he ain't gonna get back in over Alli and Eriksen otherwise unless they have a massive drop in form / are not available...
