Birmingham City, Wrexham and West Brom are all interested in signing English midfielder Dele Alli on a free transfer. The 29-year-old recently terminated his deal with Italian club Como.
How many clubs has he been at since he was any good?
If he became a bog standard Championship player then good for him personally as he's been sliding downhill for years. But clubs aren't taking him on for that - they're taking him on so they can unlock the England player from years back. Like we did with Phillips. Odds are it will be another no show.
You can’t see or touch his talent, but people say it’s there. Someone will invest in this bag of magic beans and either end up on a yacht or living in a caravan.
Hugely risky investment from a magician who made himself disappear.
Regardless of who might be available as a free agent, I don’t see that we’ve left a free spot in the squad. With Townsend not registered and Walle Egeli U21 not counting, we already have 25 players that will likely have been registered last week.
There won’t be anymore incoming until the next transfer window as I see it.

Spookily this video came up in my feed yesterday for some reason...pretty much nailed it:
Taking on a career resurrection project didn't work out too well with Phillips last season. Plus I don't see we really need him.
I think the difference is that we've got a strong team now and he is a wildcard who could come good, whereas Phillips I think was relied upon to be an integral part of the team and didn't meet those expectations.
Although irrelevant unless we didn't register one of the 25 senior players we have in the team.
