Can't believe you need to ask when Eric Dier is also at the club. o_O

I said it when he first joined us, he's the type of character who will leave when bigger clubs with bigger paychecks come calling. Being young, good-looking, charismatic and with that bit of arrogance in him, he doesnt look at all like a person who would pledge loyalty. I might be wrong and will get bashed here, but I'm sticking to my words. He'll make some noise end of next season, if not this season.
Wow, I've read some silly stuff on here before but this is magical.
You can actually judge a character by looking at someone's face?
Impressive stuff, our security services would pay a fortune for that sort of skill set mate :ROFLMAO:

I think it's inevitable that if he has another season like this one, then someone like Real are going to come weighing in with some heavy bids.

The onus is on us to continue to grow. A successful season and Wembley ahead of the new ground, better progression in the CL, and continuing to compete for the title. Keep this up and then we'll be in the position to bat these bids away.

He is the one player that I can see leaving us in the next couple of seasons - if he continues to progress he will become one of the most sought after players in the world and Dele you can tell is a very ambitious guy.

Alli has now scored more goals this season and at a better rate, than the season that encouraged us to buy him from L1.

He's also already equaled Giroud's highest PL goalscoring season. With everyone going on about his position, does anyone have his heatmaps, I would be interested to see where his average position to see how much further forward he is than say Eriksen or whether its just a myth.

This could be wishful thinking, but I have a feeling we become Man United over the next decade and we actually keep our mainstays for the long haul.

With the new stadium, CL (hopefully), and with Nike on board, I think we have more than enough funding to keep our larger than life stars at the club. I know that the cashflow is still a couple years down the road, but part of me thinks we have some staying power in the short to long term.

Sky Sports doing their usual of asking random ex players about how great Ali is and if he could play for a world class team
So it begins.....

Can achieve almost all of his ambitions by staying right where he is.
If money is his priority
he has another ten years minimum to service that.
In the meantime knuckle down boy
and make the most of your developing talent under Mauricio.

Radar seems to have picked up on us this last few weeks.
Almost got to the Ruhr dams before being spotted.
Too late guys we're going in!

I found 2 that were posted but the easiest way to view it is to go to https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/30 and click on the score of the match. If you scroll down there will be a "heatmaps" tab. You can select any player to see their specific heatmap.

Pretty good, although the pedant in me wants to point out at the beginning they clearly drive away from the training ground and to Waltham Cross!

Must've gone to Fishpools...it's the only reason I can think of going to Waltham Cross :whistle:
