Oh how fucking wrong the cynics were. Really sad to see him go, hoping he thrives again somewhere.
Made me sad watching that......

' Til we meet again, Dele.
I think one thing people seem to have forgotten is how around the time Dele was at his peak, he was also always running the verge of getting that red card from his temper/competitiveness. No surprise that seemed to drop off as well as his form. Clearly lost the passion or the drive.
The happiest people in the world are usually the brokest.
I don't know about anyone else, but no amount of money would keep me from watching Tottenham because that's the price of my happiness. Especially these days.
I had a longer response in mind, but I don't feel like going to the effort of typing it all. Concisely, Poch kept reiterating that we were "ahead of schedule" and I feel like that's exactly what happened and we never got it sorted out. The playing squad outpaced the finances, we got caught between 2 ideas and fucked it all up. We came to a fork in the road and instead of taking it we froze and ran into the lamp post.
It was the best goal I've ever seen, hands down, Spurs or no. Sublime.
I totally agree.
The timing for when we really had to invest money and make hard decisions doing it totally sucked, Levy never really trusted Poch as a scout or squad manager (not unjustifiably if we're brutally honest), and we just never quite got our shit together until it was too late and the CL final had turned everything into a sort of surreal dreamlike haze that ultimately didn't help matters.
Having said all of that, the tyrant chairman is now a strategy as outdated as a flat 4-4-2 hoofing cross after cross into a big striker. Whatever the past might have been, the future is going to need to be very different to have any success.
Reading the info from The Guardian, it makes me wonder if Everton can avoid paying us if they sell Dele in the summer?

I think he probably was made to look better than he was with all those other good players around him. Plus the injuries took their toll.
I imagine that’s how Eric Dier is feeling right now. The bromance is over …
Goodbye Dele, and thanks for the memories.
