Dele Alli’s time at Tottenham is over. Nice knowing you and all that kiddo, but the days of being selected no matter what under Mauricio Pochettino are over and you will ultimately be remembered by this blogger as all wrap, and very little in the way of gifts. It is ambitious to see how Dele might stage a comeback under the Portuguese. Now Tottenham have a manager who is not prepared to tolerate excuses. José expects the players that his club pays colossal amounts to each week to deliver.
It was another deeply uncomfortable cameo from the now 24-year-old and another brief glimpse of a player that doesn’t deserve to wear the shirt. Yes there are some sublime flicks and tricks in there, but much like the needles that allegedly inhabit haystacks, who has the patience any more to find them?
The good news is that this is all in the public domain now, and so any interested parties have plenty of time to prepare a January window bid.
