I'm not one for random names and it's not really realistic, but I wonder what it would take to get delli alli? One of few players I can think of to replace couts, and we could have 120 million.

Spurs won't sell and they certainly would ask for more for Alli than £120m, plus if there was any sniff they were selling United, City or Chelsea would just blow us out the water.

Spurs won't sell him.

I just had a weird feeling allis head might turn, plus levy is not one to shy away from the big deals.

Im not sold on Alli. Sometimes he looks an absolute world beater, and other times he looks like he has no right to be a professional footballer. He does fundamentally score/ assist well. Bit like Ozil though, I don't think stats show the true picture.

He's nothing like ozil, he works hard - he problem is his temperament. As long as he's not going out to hurt anyone, I'd rather he show a bit of fire than disappear like ozil.

Alli is a decent player but he is no playmaker.

I didn't mean that he was a similar player to ozil. Just that stats show the 2 of them to be better players than they actually are.

{Ed001's Note - I think people must have different ideas of what a good player is. Oezil is excellent and works a lot harder than he is ever given credit for. Alli is excellent and a real genuine talent.}

In terms of play, influence on game and indeed temperament, Alli is very similar to Gerrard at a similar age, IMO. He does play a bit further up the field, but he can also take a game by the scruff of the neck, and is a bit overly aggressive at times as Stevie was prone to, especially early on in his career.

I still rue the fact we couldn't do a deal for him.
