Depending on how different pieces fall into place, I understand Spurs will consider offers above a certain price for Alli. this is dependent on the availability and price of his replacement (and more likely the summer).

i also understand it's incredibly unlikely Spurs would sell to us (2nd only to Arsenal).

I always liked Alli but not sure we need him at the price Tottenham would want for him. Plus we’ll need him to work a little harder in defence rather than playing his free role further forward ahead of two dedicated DMs.

Can I ask where all these Dele Ali rumours are coming from? How much would spurs want for him £100m plus I would think.

Grobs24, Alli played in a box to box midfield role for MK before he moved to Spurs. He is more than capable and works very hard for Spurs already. Spurs are the only team who press as hard as we do, in Europe. The only worry i would have is that Alli and Keita in midfield might be a little hot headed. Both have a tendency to make naughty tackles every so often.

Having said that though, perhaps we've missed that nastiness in midfield? We haven't had a couple of tough tacklers since 2009 when we had Gerrard and Mascherano nailing people all over the park 😂 I'm forever hearing about an apparent lack of steel. You throw the aggressive pressing of Ox, Firmino and Lallana alongside that duo and it'll be a blood bath every weekend!

Agree MK - think he could do it, but it would definitely require an adjustment from his current role. In fact, I would bet he’d be very good at it once he’d adjusted (as Ox seems to have done), but I also agree I think Keita will give us exactly that already hence why we don’t need him.

Forget alli. I think isco from Madrid would be an ideal couts replacement. great holding on to the ball and and can pick a pass. exactly what we need trust me 😜.

I really think there are better options than Ali. Thankfully, Ali to Liverpool will not happen.

I’d rather Eriksen than Alli, infinitely better footballer without the propensity to lose his rag.

I know an MK Dons season ticket holder who watched him come through and he told me after Alli's first season at Spurs that they were wasting him. He swears blind that Alli has the potential to be as good as Zidane in central midfield, and that playing him in what is basically a Lampard type role off a striker, wastes his ability to dictate the game. I only watched him once at MK Dons (more of a Cobbler, myself) and i have to say, as a midfielder he looked closer in terms of style to Vidal than Zidane in my opinion, but i didn't watch him live 20+ times like my friend did.

I've heard that a lot of coaches at MK Dons even thought he could end up as a holding midfielder because of his tenacity and stature. He's very versatile. He also links up well with Lallana when i see them play together in an England shirt. So i wouldn't be against the signing. I still don't think there is any truth in it whatsoever. You know how it is. Get linked with Goretzka, Alli and Ceballos. Sign Rafinha instead!

with Coutinho money we should get Toby Alderweirld abd Oblak for nex season we don't need to replace him we have Keita Grujic Ox.

Spurs players I will go for Son, Alderweirld or Kane.

Actually agree with you for once LKY! Not sure we need Son but very very good player, the other two would definitely strengthen us, as would Vertonghen and Lloris.

Negotiate with Daniel Levy? No thanks 🤯

I don’t know how anyone can compare Alli with Zidane, someone in MK has been smoking far too much 👨‍🚀.

Would need to sign a second player to cover all the time he us banned when his protected status goes and he gets the red cards he should be getting. Talented but petulant and nasty in some of his on pitch behaviour.
