His value has plummeted in the last few seasons, bagging goals for PSG will up that. Also covers his wages plus possible loan fee.
Or he stays and his value goes up with us. We're not getting enough for a loan to cover anything worthwhile.

Still against a loan tbh. Also got no idea what the hell we do with a midfield that only has GLC and N'Dombele as its soul creative players. If Dele goes, we need that creative CM that has been alluded to by a few of the ITKs.

Doing the math on this, its obvious we're pushing to get some sort of deal done for him...if we can get the terms we're satisfied with.

Leaving him out completely on Sunday was a huge indication of Jose's position.

I'd like to have seen him play with a point to prove but I'm not sure its going to happen.

I don’t get why people think a loan isn’t advantageous to us. We aren’t going to lend him to PSG out of the goodness of our hearts. We will want a fee, and his wages paid. That’s a lot of money off the wage bill that could be given to someone else.

Will not get back to the level he once was. A large part of his success was being an unknown quantity and looking to prove himself, as soon as he became a "star" he lost that fire and rested on his laurels. Hasn't improved his game whatsoever since breaking through.

For me, if dele isn't scoring goals he doesn't contribute enough to warrant a place in the eleven. He's not a natural fit for the system we are going towards playing and honestly I feel like he could do with a move elsewhere for his own sake and career. I also feel he'd be better suited to a foreign league where his lack of pace isn't highlighted as much as it is in the PL.

He's obviously a very talented player but talent alone can only get you so far and I feel that he reached that point early on and hasn't managed to adapt his game through training hard and really analyzing himself and his game to make that next leap. He should be a major star in world football by now and he's not.

Will it though? Is he in Jose's plans? Will he play much?
He should play plenty with the amount of games we have. We're still early in the season and we will pick up injuries. I'd rather lose someone like Sissoko who is not homegrown and much older with no room to progress. If we're talking about loans then there are far better options to loan out than Alli.

Need the takers though, I doubt anyone is interested in Sissoko on loan, paying his wage and a fee.

PSG supporters on Reddit are saying that Loïc Tanzi, the journalist behind this report, is one of the absolute most reliable journalists covering the club.
The problem with Reddit is that the only thing that it is good for is looking at pictures of Demi Rose Mawby. Otherwise it’s questionable at best

I’d much rather keep him if we don’t have any guarantee over a future fee, as that could prevent us from replacing him with a decent creative CM. Plus we have so many games going on that he will get minutes. If he still hasn’t found form and we’ve dropped out of some competitions we could always loan him in January, that would still give him a chance to make the euros as well.

He had that in the Europa game and was largely useless.

Sometimes it's easier for players to pretend to be lazy or pretend to not adapt to the "system" in order to protect self image and not having to deal with the really of "lack of capabilities".

As per Hercu info - I would say if Dele leaves our squad is one attacking midfielder light ....

That’s what I’m hoping. Genuinely no idea who as we’ve not really been linked with that many midfielders.
