It does for me. Grealish is clever, sure and he buys fouls by falling over a lot. I don't like how he does it, I'd feel the same if any of our players did that.

As for Alli. I seem to recall his on the field petulant side a few years ago. Maybe give him some credit for completely transforming himself in that respect. Doesn't get into it with anyone really anymore. When was the last time he got carded for being involved in something stupid?
When was the last time he posted a mildly racist stupid ignorant social media message that the FA had to warn him about and that he was lucky to not get a ban for, oh wait... zzz

This bothers you?

:ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
It doesn't bother me at all, but generally if opposition fans boo your player its because he's a grade A prick, similar to when we used to boo John Terry, Joey Barton, Robbie Savage and the likes. Name one other of our players who regularly gets boo'd by the opposition?

Its ok that you're blinded by Dele Alli and think he's the second coming of Glenn Hoddle, he's an idiot and he's the only player I don't like having in our team.

So you're basing this on not football but his social media career?

So you're saying a players behaviour in the media and off the pitch isn't relevant at all?
Ok, are you stuck in the past? That's quite a worrying view you have if that's the case.

I've already stated my opinion on him as a player as well but you chose to conveniently ignore that. (y) :sleep::notworthy:

He isn't half as bad as you make out, but like I said in the other post, cool man.

I was talking about how much he had matured on the pitch.
Clearly... he threw a strop only yesterday :ROFLMAO:(y).

I think i'm done here with you mate. As i've said before Dele is a good player there is no doubting that and he's done incredibly well to this point but he's been found out by the opposition more recently and is for me not quite at the level that we'd like or need him to be as he has many games that pass him by where he offers very little other than flicks and tricks, add to that the fact that his attitude on and off the pitch quite frankly stinks well that makes me conclude that we could do a lot better. I'm very positive about a lot of our players and our manager and try to put balanced arguments together but there is something about Dele that makes people dislike him, he acts like a spoilt child and if we could get a world class n.o10 in like we 'tried' to with Dybala or if we could get Grealish or if we could get a CM and move Lo Celso to n.o10 then any of those options would be preferable for me. Otherwise will disagree sure but there are also a hell of a lot who would and have agreed in the posts previous to this.

Fair points, there are plenty of people who will agree with you. I would probably dislike Dele if he wasn't our player, as is the narrative that surrounds him, which he does, unfortunately, have himself to blame for somewhat.

I am just hoping he can get through this phase of his career and come out stronger on the other side. He is clearly a guy that wears his emotions on his sleeve something that has got the better of him in the past, but also something which he did get under control whether you are going to concede that or not.

Yea agree with that to be fair mate and see where you're coming from, if that happens then great I will and do get behind him but there's just always been something about the whole dele alli package which isn't ultimately that likeable.

Just on the flicks and tricks ... Moura doesn't get that chance to beat Ajax last season without Dele's close touch and flick - same could be said for some of the football played under Jose since he came in. You think other fans boo him because of social media?

I've never seen so much shite spouted by one poster in a 24 hour period than you have managed in regard to Deli.

You're on a wind up, and not a very good wind up. You've gone from repeating the rubbish written in the media to now telling us opposition fans hate him because 'social media' ... Next it'll be his clothing line ....

Keep it up fella, comic relief the day after a defeat is greatly welcomed.

Are we slagging our players off for other fans booing them now? Just checking.
We are, it's a bad thing and we should all be ashamed, it also makes Dele a bad footballer and someone we shouldn't have in the team. We're peak something.
