Although we're obviously not willing to pay 'that' much of a premium given that we seem to have been haggling over clauses rather than just paying whatever it takes to get them in.

Gallowgate Toon Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I was watching some of Alli's highlights back last night and I didn't realise how absolutely class he was, tbh. Not just his goals but some of his skill & athleticism too - I'd always thought of him as a bit of a poaching no.10 but he was skinning players and all sorts. Bit of a dirty bastard too which is always handy to have on your side. Feels very fanciful that he'll get back to anywhere near that level though, as it's now years since he was that player. Seems like a mixture of injuries, mentality, and change in style/system have seen him decline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Tbf the Bakker and Zapata deals both seemed a bit fishy. Gosens too. If edwards is correct and we managed to get lingard and alli, I think that would rule out Zapata for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Alli and Lingard would be exciting as fuck tbh. Should go and get Loftus-Cheek and relive that belter Panama World Cup game every week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times do players with this type of narrative come back, turn things around and revive their careers? Even if we got half the player he was it would be an upgrade tbf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally him and Lingard. I suspect Lingard might fancy coming if Dele Alli is here. Still will need that physical break up play centre mid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Alli had the potential to go right to the very very top and still might. The more I think about it, the more I want us to give him a shot, probably moreso than Lingard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Think I’d take Alli as I’ve no faith we’ll get another midfield option (don’t think Lingard is the answer at Cm, even in a 3). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emotic Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Would Alli and Lingard be competing for the same position though? Don't think it would be Alli AND Lingard? Both attacking mids, just that one is more technical and the other more "direct". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Alli, Lingard and Trippier all in the same team. We’ll be close to a World Cup semi-final before long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
