Dele Alli

[Red Pavan]

I took a gander at the old threads, and whilst I think most accurately assess him as a somewhat limited player getting more from his talent than he ought to, there are some shocking takes in there:

Classic case of hindsight fallacy. He was clearly a talented player but failed to fulfil his potential.

Have to say I rated him highly, was mad Van Gaal didn't sign him after MK Don's defeat, Very surprised of his decline but as others have said, a lot of money so early 8n sporting life, just shows you to stay at the top can be harder than getting there

No. There was never any hindsight needed to determine that his technical ability was nowhere near someone like Gerrard.

David Bentley syndrome I reckon - his hearts probably not in it regardless of the talent and work that got him to this level, and that's fine to be fair.... he can do what he wants when the casual paydays stop.
