48.8% of Tottenham fans are fools, quite frankly.
Why would we even consider selling one of our best players?
Even if Dele has dropped off from the exceptionally high standards that he set in his early Tottenham seasons – he is still one of our best players.
After Kane and Son as the undisputed one and two, any order in which you rank our next most important players would have Dele somewhere between three and six. Giovani Lo Celso, Moussa Sissoko and Toby Alderweireld, whose recent omission to allow Jose Mourinho to experiment with a new defensive partnership shouldn’t detract from the fact that he is still our best centre-half, would make up that group. I cannot see how even Dele’s biggest detractors could argue his importance is any lower than that.
If we are looking to generate funds to reinvest in the squad; how about the right-back who can’t go three games without making a mistake? Or the winger who can’t go three games without getting injured? Or the central midfielder who I still can’t figure out after watching him 137 times?
