Yeah Jose has a lot of insights into football, but how useful it is if you can't influence anyone because you are a prick

That little scrote came from a broken family and grew up in the care system. Maybe try to understand that the kid probably has issues to deal with outside of football that you don't know about and cut him a bit of slack.Little scrote wasn't half as good as everyone though he was and not even a 10th of what he thought of himself.
Lampards done him a favour keeping him around for so long.
Yeah he was class. Lost all belief and confidence in himself it seems like.Of course he had the talent, he was absolutely superb for those first few years when he broke through. Some re-writing of history going on here.
Yes the current version of Dele Alli is useless. He doesn’t do anything the old version of Dele Alli was praised for, hence why he doesn’t receive any praise. And neither version of him, nor the description you’ve given there, fits the profile of a typical English runner.His typical move is to dribble with the ball into a worse position than where he started or to just pass forward without looking on considering his teammates position.
Cry me a river. I live in a country where middle income is probably at UK care levels. Doesnt give the entire country an excuse to be insufferable balloon headed twats.That little scrote came from a broken family and grew up in the care system.

Ok mate.Cry me a river. I live in a country where middle income is probably at UK care levels. Doesnt give the entire country an excuse to be insufferable balloon headed twats.
Seems like he has personal / mental problems.Tweet

Thanks mate.Ok mate.
I've thought that for a long time. Did you see that time he stuck his finger in some bloke's eye?Seems like he has personal / mental problems.
27 goals and 26 assists in his first three PL seasons by the time he turned 21.To people saying Dele Alli lacked talent - 37 league goals in 106 matches from 2015/16 to the 17/18 season - those are insane numbers for an attacking midfielder who was 22 years old when the 17/18 season ended.
Turkey is where he will make the most money, due to their low taxes, which says it all really.Thought his name would at least carry him to a better league than the Turkish league
Broken home, issues outside of football.. whyd you bring income into it? Some people have terrible upbringings regardless of economic status.Cry me a river.

Just because he was a prick who got stuck in on younger players doesn’t make him a player with great work ethic.He was a bit of a Keane rather than a Scholes (not positionally). His biggest strength when he was top of his game was his mentality and work ethic. Take that away and he doesn’t have the natural footballing ability to get by at the top level.
Well - it's hard to compare levels - but Jack Rodwell does spring to mind.I can't say I ever rated him as highly as the hype that said he was one of the best players in the league, but he was undeniably a very good PL level player.
Has anyone else in recent history gone from that in their early 20s to not just finished, but "Turkish League" levels of finished at age 26, without being crippled by injuries?
Based on what? He couldn't really at Everton and they're about the same level at the minuteSurely he could do a job playing behind the striker at somewhere like Forest / Bournemouth etc?
I really hope he turns it ‘round. I don’t like seeing young people fail to achieve their potential.
Well - he was an important part of the best Spurs side over the last almost 60 years - so that is a bit harsh. Football hasn't changed that much in 4 seasonsJust because he was a prick who got stuck in on younger players doesn’t make him a player with great work ethic.
He’s a luxury player who would have been great 20 years ago when managers allowed some players to indulge in not playing an active role without the ball. Now he’s a liability when top teams demand players who press when they don’t have the ball to try and win the ball back.
I've thought that for a long time. Did you see that time he stuck his finger in some bloke's eye?
Ross Barkley?Has anyone else in recent history gone from that in their early 20s to not just finished, but "Turkish League" levels of finished at age 26, without being crippled by injuries?
He had a bad leg break early in his career and a hamstring injury that caused him to be out for roughly a year. Plus I thought his loan move to Villa was fairly decent?Ross Barkley?
Heard he did his knee 5 times in a year. Not sure if true though.Incredible drop-off. At one time he was valued at over £100m, then a few seasons later, he can't get into the Everton team. What the hell happened to him? Here are some stats showing his massive decline.
He unreal as a 17 year old. But yeah as someone mentioned already, broke his leg and then had a hamstring issue.Ross Barkley?
So good that they refused to buy him from us? But nah seriously, he hit the ground running at Villa, he was on fire the first few weeks and there were talks of a £30-40m move, but then he got injured I think and the rest of the loan spell was very underwhelming and by the end of the loan Villa sent him back and were no longer interested in a permanent move.He had a bad leg break early in his career and a hamstring injury that caused him to be out for roughly a year. Plus I thought his loan move to Villa was fairly decent?
Or he just can't be arsed? Made his money and seems to be more about enjoying his personal life than being good at football.Seems like he has personal / mental problems.
Yeah, maybe.Or he just can't be arsed? Made his money and seems to be more about enjoying his personal life than being good at football.
Nothing wrong with that either really.
Always notice that these comments appear after the fact?Was never anywhere near as good as the hype. His technical level was never above average. Tim Cahill was a better version of him.
Where does that leave Everton if they don’t take the option?Confirmed by the club now. Loan for the season. 6m option in January and 8m option in the summer.

I'd actually give more credence to someone who, 5 years ago, said this.
Watching Dele Alli and all his "intelligent runs" after watching Isco ruin Italy is like going from a night with Mila Kunis to a night with well, Dele Alli.
It was a while ago but personally for me as far as actual technique and being able to manipulate a football we have seen a level from Wilshire which is a mile beyond anything we have seen from Delle Alli.
Give me my credence.Premier League
Overrated: Dele Alli
He isn't a some incredible player having a dip. He is a fairly athletic player with pretty average technique who benefits from playing next to Kane and Eriksen.
