He has really stagnated over the past 18 months and based on current performances doesn't deserve a starting role. There are more effective options to Dele at the momentI honestly can't think of anyone. Certainly not at the kind of pricetag we'd want to sell him for.
I think there's a reason he never gets linked to other clubs tbh...
Personally I think he needs to get properly dropped. Not just for a game or two, either. He needs to realise that, for the first time in his Spurs career, he doesn't have a divine right to start, and he needs to seriously examine his weaknesses and work on them.
Maybe I'm off the mark, but you compare someone like Kane who is obsessed with being the best and improving his game, to someone like Dele, who seems to be almost as focused on his branding as he does on his football. The difference is stark.
Maybe he's brilliant in training and works hard, but it's hard to see any evidence of it on the pitch when he has barely improved in 4 years.
