Dele Ali!

[Aquifer007]

Heard his name banded about surely not? Would be happy with a punt though!

Wilder loves a project!

One of his half brothers is in my son’s class at school. I’m assuming they don’t speak though as I seem to remember he doesn’t like his dad.

Weird you mention this today.

Working at home earlier with a twitch stream on in the background and Dele Alli was on it.

Talked about getting his football career back on track as well as going to rehab for substance abuse.

Always thought he was a bit of a whopper but quite liked him.

Think he wears Dele on his shirt cos he doesn’t have anything to do with his dad

Are we not outside TW or can we still loan?

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Not the position we need. If we're after free agents then surely these first?

RB
CB
CM
LW
ST

(No order of need)

I’ve met his dad, I can see why.

If, and it's a big if, Wilder see's merit in Ali, then a trial seems the obvious approach.

See what he's like in training and practice matches, plus is he a decent character, someone who won't be disruptive to the group ethos.

We love a Ravel Morrison or Jack Rodwell redemption story, usually without the redemption!

Hasn't he been trying to get his football career back on track for several years? It's a no from me I'm afraid.

We've just got rid of mcburnie and a year off Brewster going! Don't need anymore expensive knobheads.

 

[Yogi]

I hope he gets his career and life back on track after what he’s been through. If the wages were very reasonable I wouldn’t be opposed to us giving him that opportunity but I highly doubt we’re interested.

Both really good lads around the club TBF to them.

 

[S40BLADE]

Fuck it why not our top midfield is not depending on it. Low risk potential high reward.

1 has to come good at some point

 

[biggiesablade]

Hopefully the time away for him has helped him sort himself out. If he isnt after silly money we'd be daft not to have him.

He's a free agent. Everton and Lille are apparently interested

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Good luck to him but how many players actually successfully "rebuild"

 

[Le Cynique]

Rodley with his love of combining musical theatre with Blades chants could make up a pretty good song about him, sung to the tune of Prince Ali from Aladdin (ideally the original cartoon version by Robin Williams, not the shitty live-action one with Will Smith dialling his performance in).

Thought he was at Everton?

Thought he was at Everton?

His contract expired at the end of last season. So he's a free agent. Looks like Everton might be keen on resign him though

Sounds like a proper nobhead comment.

I don’t see where he fits in for us so I’m massively doubtful, but I’d love him to successfully comeback into professional football given the shit he’s been through and if that was with us, all the better.

Didn't he consider changing his last name to his foster parents'? Doesn't get on too well with his mum either.

The lad is definitely a footballer ! But I'd be wary of his attitude, if the lad has been working on his demons then I'd look at a pay as you play till January no one would loose if it came good
