Has Dele ever been on a speed/lower body strength program? His legs are so skinny and it looks like everything he does is in slow motion. If his overall game was 25% faster he'd be one of the best players in the world
Agreed Grealish looks the far superior player at the moment.Dele will not even make the England squad anymore. There are far better options .
Everybody has a sell date and occasionally you have to be ruthless , no more fuckups such as Eriksson/Rose. His value is dropping and realistically he won't make more than £30 million.
Good luck to him and he's clothing line.
Dudes the sun don't always shine .
Is Southgate not a moron?Agreed Grealish looks the far superior player at the moment.
Southgate would be a moron to pick Dele over him.
Well if you have to ask...Is Southgate not a moron?
Can’t agree enough with this.We have no strikers! Our top 2 goal scorers are injured. So it makes no sense whatsoever to not play the person who is our 3rd highest goalscorer this season. I am sick of reading continual posts running him down. There is no option at present. He missed many opportunities against Villa but at least he got into a position to have a shot. Time to lay off him until we have options which we do not at present. At times I think I have strayed onto a rival Forum.

Why don't you stop being so mean to Dele, Sammy? He's searching for confidence. And he just wants to be loved is that so wrong? You and Mourinho are going to be the death of this kid's career with us. Is that what you want you mean prick?Why is so strange people expect more from the players labeled as world class, or the best in the PL at this and best young player at that etc etc etc.......
People can slate Dier and Aurier and Davies but they aren’t supposed to be game changers.
You don’t look to them for inspiration when dead on your feet.
So of course Dele will get stick, because he’s not delivering.
It’s not rocket science. If your best players play shit, then guess what......we will be shit.

edit: btw I predict a stormer from him tomorrow just to shut you up. take it to he bank
When you play as a striker in a team that is set-up in a mid to a deep block and have 30 something percent possession and are being pressed heavily by the opposition and your only tatic to by-pass that press is hoofing the ball aimlessly upfront for two men to chase the ball like a dog does chasing a stick. And then not have those runs supported by the midfield, so in the rare event when Dele or Lucas could actually catch up to the stick they were left with little to no options available for them.This is probably a fair enough assessment of what is probably a fair enough condition because when we were having success his kudos were in disproportion to his actual contribution. So let's call it evens?
And while you're there ask yourself why they stick lightening rods above and/or away from structures. When you get there then you'll realize Dele's not a victim. What he is is a very imperfect footballer playing below his supporter-perceived level. He's not playing below the level I expect of him.

Freaks you out when it happens, doesn't it? It was like you discovered that you were once mates with someone who was later a convicted paedophile or a murderer. I put him on ignore as much for that as being pissed off at what he postsFuck me, Arcspace. You posted something I 100% agree with.
Plus if he can win headers and not duck for a high ballHas Dele ever been on a speed/lower body strength program? His legs are so skinny and it looks like everything he does is in slow motion. If his overall game was 25% faster he'd be one of the best players in the world
Dele will not even make the England squad anymore.
What do you mean ‘not even’? The English national team is hardly Stoke. You need to move below the Arctic circle and thaw your silly head out. You’ve been shooting Caribou for too long mister - they don’t shoot back - or talk absolute bollocks.Dele will not even make the England squad anymore
