Dele Alli isn’t my favourite player, I think that’s safe to say. Whilst he’s clearly got bags of talent, his concentration levels are such that all too frequently he gives me the impression he might be more suited to owning his own chain of hairdressing salons or a nightclub.
Tottenham posted a nice montage of the boys in training yesterday, getting themselves prepped for the Manchester City match. One recurring theme were the small digs aimed at Dele Alli.
I take a view that if you stare at anything with a critical eye for long enough, you will probably find fault – eventually. Perhaps Dele will stay and fight, maybe he will seize a fresh opportunity. What’s unhelpful however, is just calling him out over nothing. That’s not fair.
