Dele Alli - What happened? 23:03 - Aug 17 with 3347 viewsWicklowBlue

Not Def info, rumours etc. More interested to hear any insights the TWTD collective have on why his career has gone south so rapidly.

Still only 26...not so long ago can remember him being amazing at Spurs. Seems to have lost his mojo completely and hasn't kicked on.

At the age of around 23/24 some players step up their game, Harry Kane and Cristiano Ronaldo are two good examples. Others fail to do so. There are so many former "Wonderkids" who fail to do so and turn into average players. Dele is one of them, Anthony Martial is another and if he is not careful Rashford could also fall into that hole. Not many of the numerous "Next Messi s" turn into world class players.

That article mentions Lampard wanting more consistency in training. Isn’t that the exact gripe that Mourinho had at Spurs - I’m sure he says it in All or Nothing to little response from Alli.

In that documentary he struck me as just a bit thick. Talented but thick. Sounds like a simple case of not working hard enough. Has the skill for top level but not the attitude needed is my guess, as he seems to do very well when he applies himself.

All guesses.

Same as what happened to many others who flattered to deceive for a short while. Harry Winks is much the same. Jesse Lyngard another.

There’s all sorts of stories that are probably urban myth.

Think wages could be a stumbling block tbh but he'd be decent at this level so no harm in a cheeky offer?

Obviously has some talent but he's always been hugely overrated. He's levelling off now.

I saw him play for England against I think Czecho a few years ago quite close up (front row at the side at Wembley). Alli was the best player on the field. Not the quickest he was up and down the pitch all game, good positional sense, good shot on him, passed them to death. Smashing player. The only real downside was temperament. He seemed easy to provoke, but he looked an international quality player all day long.

Goodness knows what’s happened to him, but clearly something has, sadly.

Effort. If you've watched the Spurs doc on amazon, Jose gives him a grilling on his attitude.

He tells him he'll regret when it's too late.

Got a friend who works at Tottenham in the Marketing dept, he was awful by all accounts, had a terrible attitude, spoke to people really badly, thought he was god even after 3 abject seasons, by all accounts a really bad egg.

You can see on the documentary and also how he turned up at Everton in one of the most deprived areas of Liverpool in a Rolls Royce everything that he exposes.

The fact that he's going to the boneyard in Turkey speaks volumes.

Obviously lots of (justified) criticism of Alli and he has certainly tailed off tremendously in the past few years - but a mention for Lampard who fought for this deal before he even joined Everton, a frankly ridiculous deal and then has only started him for one game. A shocking decision.

Lost his motivation. Maintaining an elite level is very hard work, all the time, and he lost the desire to do it. Some might comment that he spent longer developing his social media presence than working hard at the day job. A great shame, for him, for his clubs, and for England.

Rashford's already there. Rubbish player who's stealing a living.

Few replies I've seen from people saying he was overhyped or overrated.

From 2015-2017. He was ridiculous, particularly in 16/17. You cant teach that talent. Who knows what's gone wrong, but its a real shame cause he could have been anything.

This all day long, I know we arent allowed to criticise Saint Rashford of Manchester but whenever I see him play I always think the same thing 'that boy could do a job in a mid table Championship team'
