Dele Ali

We don't need high profile projects with issues. We have found the right formula now.
 
Big Fat NO!

Exactly the type of player we are now trying to avoid under our new business model.

For an example of the type of player we will be looking for see McGree, Forss & Barlaser.. young, ambitious, hungry to improve and a likely resale value when the time comes.

Not a chance we would even contemplate Dele Ali and anyone who thinks we would clearly hasn't been listening to the noises coming from the club this past year.
 
Do players ever come back good after lengthy significant dips in form? Usually seems to be a combination of injuries knocking confidence, or simply being a striker that is signed by Chelsea. Joe Hart, Fernando Torres, Daniel Sturridge being the most notable in recent times. None of them got it back.
Players comeback from horrific physical injuries..

How far do you need to come back? Mendieta could still carve up Man Utd and serve them in a plate.

It’s just a hypothetical anyway.
 
I never rated him technically, he's not a central midfielder or a striker for a start, he's basically a 2nd striker who was good at finding pockets of space and finishing off chances

As an allround footballer you can understand if he doesn't run his **** into the ground how ineffective he would actually be, he was never that involved in games other than goal scoring

He was likely motivated by money and now he has it, has little left for paying football

Totally a mental issue of course, you don't get to that level of goalscoring and then just 'lose it' per se
Carrick knows..

There's clearly something not quite right with the lad.

I can see him ending up like Ravel Morrison. Clubs will be willing to take a punt on him and offer him a short-term deal but he'll essentially end up as a journeyman.
