Get Dele Alli in.

Him an Jack are big mates so it would not surprise me if something happens.
Only problem is dealing with Levi.

Aye, always runs rings round us does Daniel Levy.

I actually heard someone say it would be too risky to play him last night as it was so cold and potentially bad for his hamstring.

We'll see him in March then.

Didn't DS actually come out and say this after West Brom which was two weeks back? Thought he was joking but perhaps not!

Seems from DS comments last night he's not even being considered for Liverpool game which is a bit odd with that being a week away and would be ideal one to give him half an hour at least.

Maybe knowing there's a full week before the FA Cup game was a factor. He can do a full week's preparation rather than risk disrupting some of the side's momentum by coming in late as part of a week in which there were 3 games. Dean does speak about momentum a lot.

With the question last night DS didn't even mention Liverpool, just said he hoped he'd be back for Spurs although reporter could've just asked him if he'd be available for next league game I guess.

Spuds fans think he is a bit of a dick in negotiations.

[LukeJames]

If it wasn't for him then Jack would probably be playing for Spurs, He's a genius.

Poch just signed as new PSG manager. Dele will be off there now - Shame, as I think he could have been the 'fit' Ross Barkley we're looking for.

He's quoted in the local press as saying:

"I'm not sure if I'll start him in the FA Cup game (vs Liverpool next week). He needs more minutes on the training ground."

Absolute farce.

I think the phrase “ plagued by injury” is going to get writ when describing his career.
It is obvious we need someone of his ability because last night showed a much too heavy reliability on Jack.

I wouldn't be buying him. Minor hamstring injuries that take months are not for me.

When they start playing up it’s difficult to remedy ( see Michael Owen)

[Dante Lavelli]

Deli Ali would be ideal, if he’d come to us. 

[oldhill_avfc]

He’s a busted flush.

Again too many injuries. (Not really played for 2 years).

[PaulWinch again]

Bit early to make that call.

Negotiating with him can be very straussfull.
