Spurs legend urges Alli to leave and save his career

By Bruce Grove -

Tottenham legend, Clive Allen says that Dele Alli has to leave the club to regain his shattered confidence.

Alli has been mostly out of the first-team picture at Tottenham this season following his poor start to the season.

He has been substituted by Jose Mourinho at half time on three occasions this season and he has hardly started a Premier League game since the 1-0 loss to Everton on opening day.

He started Tottenham’s game against Royal Antwerp last night in the Europa League, but he looks a shadow of the amazing player that most fans know him to be and he was subbed off at half time, yet again.

Allen was speaking to Talksport and he reckons that Alli will be doubting his abilities now and he needs to move from Spurs to regain his confidence where he will play regularly.

He claimed that the smart thing for Spurs to do will be to loan him out because he remains a top talent.

“If Spurs are clever they might well loan him to a team where he could start to find form, which he needs, because he’s desperately short of confidence,” the former Spurs striker told the Talksport breakfast show.

“He was very sloppy last night.

“I think he probably has to move away from Spurs for a while to try and rediscover the doubted talent he has.

“He’s an incredible player, he has been for Spurs, but I think now you’re looking at a move for him.

“You can’t keep being substituted at half-time in that manner and not expect something to happen.”

Just checked. Its a myth. Can’t catch the flu virus through being outside in the cold with wet hair. It has to be passed on to you from someone with it

I thought you could only catch a cold through germs. Nothing to do with being cold. “Easier to handle” as in people don’t mind staying in when its cold. Not like in the summer where people wanna go out

Disagree: standing in the cold and rain in queues outside shops to allow ‘social distancing’ is the quickest way to spread a flu epidemic going.

OK in April and May when it didn’t rain and was nice and warm.

Pretty ridiculously moronic as winter approaches.

I have 55 years experience in testing the concept that getting your hair wet for 30 minutes whilst standing around is one of the best ways known of getting a cold.

If Bale has changed so fundamentally as a player then he needs to fit into our forward line soon as possible, somehow in whatever role. We have the emerging Tanguy and an enforcer in PEH, right now we are at a crucial moment.

This early season form needs to translate into a settled side that will be able to win crunch matches against the best teams. Jose needs to stop throwing even players he signed under the bus and keep the unity strong. If he keeps doing it a rift might develop within the squad.

Moura has shown on countless occasions that he cannot be relied upon to finish chances. So Poch picked our top goal scorer for the final. Moura missed a great chance after he came on, Moura did play in that final and did very little. So what if he didn’t start? He had enough time on the Poch and did no better than Kane I’m afraid. Nothing wrong with Poch’s decision.

Sissoko’s stupidly outstretched arm cost us that final by giving away a pen in the 3rd min. The Kane thing is just a convenient thing to use against Poch.

I also see the Jose fan-club were quiet as mice after Antwerp. Fair weather fans…

Ah the Clive season one of the highlights of my Spurs following career.
If it was anyone but a highly rated Spurs old boy I would say “no shite Sherlock/wheel invented etc”

It is not that Clive, everybody and his dog knows he has no future under Jose but where does he go PSG seemed to have some interest but he is such a home boy (weak personality) he needs to stay in England. Not good enough for Citeh/Pool not suitable for a lower team.
His Agent will be busy.

Fine margins when our buzzing hero against Ajax, Moura was dropped for the CL final was a predictable Poch decision restoring Kane to the line up that badly backfired!

This team was a team that should have won the league and champions league if it wasn’t for fine fine margins:
Loris
Trippier Toby Jan Rose
Dembele Dier
Lamela Dele Eriksen
Kane

1987 – Admittedly mostly tap ins, Clive “poacher” Allen scored 49 goals that season.
He scored after 3 mins against Coventry City towering above Trevor Peake heading home. We scored too early? Perhaps we did. Alas we went on to lose an exciting FA Cup Final 3-2!

Regarding Alli looking at his stats he has been on downward spiral for some time.
Time to cash in me thinks!
