Dele Alli - What's gone wrong.

[danfo driver]

Quick question though. Why does he have to go and beg his father? Why cant a father (one who supposedly has the financial might) see his troubled son struggling and run to his aid?

I'm not saying Dele is an angel or saint but as a parent, he is STILL his child. I dont care what is going on in the world, if my kids are in trouble, so long as i am breathing, i will be there for them. This is nuts.

Depends if he has tried and Dele spurned the request. Either way, it's sad for him both on a personal level and professional level.

I'd still approach the kid and forget the past. This is a low point in his career and i'm sure he needs people with his best interest closer. A la Balloteli style.

Dele knows what to do. Running to backwater league will not save him. Like Arsenal fans who do not want to kneel before me, Dele seems very stubborn and would rather destruction than to do what is necessary to get his life back on track. O ma se o.

Leave him, the elders have spoken and he's still asking questions! Ok

What elders..abeg make i hear something. I know the both of you will never abandon your children even if they act as bratty as Dele.

Would you still want to know about the elders? Like I said, running to a backwater league will not save him. He knows what to do, but he doesnt want to do it. So, here we are....

Danfo - my pikin na my pikin oh... i didnt spread my seed around because i am very territorial. So long as i have air in my lungs, i will chase him down and try to the best of my ability to right his/her wrongs. I enjoy life well well as a child so the rest of my life is to ensure my children have a better upbringing and if for some unforeseen circumstance, I'm not able to be there for their teenage stage...i will work twice as hard to get them on the right track as young adults.

Dele is lost, i don't disagree but who best to help him than his family/parents? I want to be there for the bad so his father should swallow his pride and go fetch his son.

I don talk my own, the problem wey pursue am comot Tottenham follow am go Everton, come pursue am go Besiktas no be ordinary eye o! Besiktas want to get rid of him now. When he ridiculed his father, he was on top of his game with Tottenham and England. I have not seen a player go on a downwards trajectory this quickly like Dele.
He needs to locate his father and dobale for forgiveness.

[bret- hart]

If he was Nigerian born and raised ya'll would claim he is overaged

Own-Hart that is because for years (still on going) we have been cheating like crazy at age grade tournaments.

I have a friend right now, whose uncle should be eligible for SS but the bobo lied about his age to play ball and now the thing don catch up to am. The sentiment was not made in a vacuum. We were cheating, A LOT! Moves have been made recently to curb it because clearly it doesnt pay at the senior level. When players are supposed to be at their peak yet we dey field papa and mama mmadu. Kai, no let patriotism cloud your judgment my brother

Im not sure about the dobaleing part, but I get your general drift.
Who knows what is on the young man’s mind?
But experience tells me that just because a man’s seed brings forth a child by no means guarantees that he is a father to that child.
Only Dele knows what the issues are and what his relationship with his father was, is and can become in the future.

Oga, I know we used to cheat back then but now a lot has changed yet you have folks here claiming every u17 to be overaged. These same folks have no smoke for the likes of Rooney who looks like he is 50 claiming 37 and Ali who at 28 is pretty much done as a footballer. Again, if these 2 Englishmen where Nigerians people here would claim them as age cheats.

Yeah Rooney looks old because of his heavy drinking. Rooney doesn’t have any reason to falsify his age because he’s English and as long as he can put the ball in the net, some will sign him. Our players on the other hand play in a league that is not broadcasted around the world compared to the EPL. Their main hope is that they can use age tournament to be noticed. The moral of the story is that we need to develop our league.

That is utter bullsheet. Till this day the likes of Kanu Nwankwo are accused of an being age cheat by the likes of you and the English media whereas Rooney looks like a fuuking 50 something year old claiming to be 37. Your explanation makes no sense. If Rooney were Nigerian you will claim him as overaged True or False? If Dele Alli grew up in Nigeria, played for Nigeria from u17 to SE you would accuse him of being an age cheat because at 28 the guy is a bum. True or False?

[cchinukw]

checked Bekistas forum and it seems they want him out of their club. Seems he has also gone there to flop! tufia! what a waste.

Very sad. It must be a mental thing. Or he has simply peaked.

Hmm guess "we" are still making excuses, so that "we" do not accept the truth that is right in front of us.

Abeg, tell them

[danfo driver]

Dele, you know what to do.

[marko]

mental issue, he needs to go back to basics, perhaps move to the lower leagues and rediscover his game

[akamoke]

I wish Dele all the best as he tries to regain his form

[mcal]

mental issue, he needs to go back to basics, perhaps move to the lower leagues and rediscover his game

...lower league which is equivalent to playing outside England, but these English guys tend to not thrive outside home or comfort zone.

He meant like play for a club like Wrexham. I believe they are in the 4-5 tiers of the English League.

Dele needs to move down or just retire and become a pundit.

You guys are still clutching at straws?

What Dele NEEDS is for Dele to go and look for his father and beg the man! The man is still alive, he needs to swallow his pride and go to the man soon! Old age is not something to play with, Dele does not want to wait too long, until the man is no more. A word is enough for the wise.
