Be interesting what Uncle Bob DZ could do with such a player.. With senior pros like Milner, Lallana and Welbz around imagine a prime Dele Alli with his head straight at the Albion..

Fair enough. I have also edited mine to reflect this.
Couldn't help but think that I'd love for us to move for him. Very high ceiling.

No for me. Today's headlines are very sad and I feel for the lad but we're not a 'charity' of sorts. We've got enough old heads and his wage expectation may be still too high. Also not sure whether he'd fit into our dressing room and we know that with RDZ it's his way or the highway!

Has he got any convictions that would prevent him entering the USA ?

Hasn't he suffered enough? Where is your compassion?

I hope those who have repeatedly mocked him are ashamed of themselves. If I have contributed to that in any way I will try to give my head a wobble. It is just so easy to be prejudiced, especially when apparently wealthy people with the world at their feet 'go off the rails'.
Given the Huw Edwards thing - it’s worth reminding people when he was doing really well, at the World Cup - the tabloid press were paying his real mum for interviews about how she felt like she’d lost a son etc etc

Nothing to do with being a charity at all. Also, "old heads"? Not even 28! Potentially hasn't hit his prime yet arguably.
Clearly a player who strives with a strong man manager and has a very, very high ceiling. Just saying I'd love him to achieve that with us as it would mean we had a serious player on our hands.
That's what you take from this interview?!

Just watched it. Sad & enlightening. Huge takeaway that he had to get ahead of the GUTTER press b4 they broke the story.
It's not been a good week for our tabloid press, much like last week and we can be fairly sure it won't be a good week next, either.
But they'll still sell millions of copies.
In fairness there's some pretty shameful takes on this thread as well.
So us getting all high and mighty with the press seems a little two faced.
