I’m certainly not, but he certainly doesn’t seem desperate to come to the club. People have made fair arguments as to why that is (e.g. we’re absolutely hideous and very close to being nailed-on to get relegated) but if he’s not that keen to sign for us I think it can have a knock-on effect to his performances I seem him as emblematic of the post-Ferguson era at Manchester United. He's 29, should be in the prime of his career, but he's played about 30mins of football since November and been paid a fortune (£100k+ a week) for years now. For a long time now he's been an established senior player, yet he's never been in any managers best XI, or long term plans - dating back to about 2015 really. Players have been signed ahead of him, shunted him down the pecking order - failed and left; but he's never forced any managers hand that they should be playing him, trusting him to perform. Under SAF players like him were moved on, or wanted to move on. Problem is the size of his wage has priced out the rest of the clubs in the league which could have been viable moves for him. Years ago he could have gone to a West Ham type of club, not just in last summer. But no fucker can afford him. Was a joy to see him play for West Ham last year, put in some truly class performances. Just bugs me thinking he's been happy enough to be a Man United sub the whole of his career, that and the whole JLingz carry on just makes me think he's a bit of a prat.

Unless he comes to prove a point and therefore his attitude and playing takes a massive upturn, I don’t reckon that at all. Who knows though? Doubt even he does.

Manxst Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Just now, ManDoon said: Absolutely agree. He’s lost his way a bit but he has been a great player and is still young. He would do great here imo Judging by the last four years, I’d hardly call him a great player. He’s undoubtedly shown potential at the start of his career, but he’s done next to nothing since then? Still time to turn it around I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) The Alli of a few years back was performing to a very high standard and developing into a top-class player with further potential, he clearly has talent and ability, but mentally he just doesn’t have it. He’d be a huge upgrade on our midfield/attack, however. Lingard likewise. Edited January 21, 2022 by HTT II Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a day to day basis though, I think Dele is one of those that needs a manager that is more positive and upbeat with their encouragement of him, which isn't really Mourinho's forte when the season gets up and running and things start getting tough. Think he'd be a good fit with Howe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I was against the Alli signing when we where originally linked, however his mobility and ability to take the ball would be a massive upgrade on anything we have so I say bring him in.

Quite interesting that his form dropped off a cliff when Poch left- obviously there have been several rumours about him being wanted at PSG so I guess they have a mutual appreciation. Shame that Alli can’t seem to bring himself up to Mourinho, Nuno and Conte standards though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clockwork Cheese Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) Think he's 10 years too late at Spurs - he would have loved playing for Redknapp. "MK Don's, National Team. BANG!" At some point he's taken his foot of the gas, and doesn't have that killing hunger that forced Poch to throw him straight in and saw him through the first few seasons of his career. Towards Pochettino's end he eventually pissed him off, and his form tanked. Mourinho became at his whits end with him, and now it seems Conte has given a limited chance he hasn't taken. Poch, Mourinho, Conte - three managers that all share a core tenant that you need to sweat and eat grass to play for them. I'm in Mourinho's camp on this one....
