King Mousa : not to mention that players like Gerrard and Lampard eked out similar numbers, all through their career, after being shoved into the deep end at similar ages. Dele Alli may never become our new Gazza, but if he becomes our Lampard then I'll take it.
For sure, he peaked very early and has had to play numerous positions. I too would take him being our Lampard. I think he thinks he can be a Gazza (flicks, tricks and flair) when really he is suited to more no-nonsense get the ball in the back of the net type play a la Lampard with occasional bits of magic.
