In terms of Premier League goal output, he is currently...
Dele: 21 goals in 4112 minutes (47 starts, 7 as sub) = 195.8 mins per goal
Berbatov: 27 goals in 5732 minutes (63 starts, 7 as sub) = 212.3 mins per goal

You have the assists to go with that? IIRC Berbatov used to feed Keane a lot ... (not that Dele is bad in assists either)

Pogba isn't even really a goalscoring midfielder. He averages about 7 goals a season. Hardly Lampard ish.
Last 3 seasons at Juve were 9, 10, 10 (all up), outside of a very select few, that would qualify as a goal scoring midfielder.

Dele currently more prolific at assisting too...
Dele: 11 assists = 374 minutes per assist
Berbatov: 15 assists = 382 minutes per assist

Those stats are from all comps I believe? He's not scored 10 league goals in a season yet, Alli has already done it twice.

didn't berbs and keane each do more than 20 one season?

Not exclusively in the PL, nope. Their best in the PL as a combination was 15 goals each in season 2007/08. United had both Van Nistlerooy and Saha listed in 2003/04 but Saha had already scored some of his for Fulham before being transferred to United midway through the season.
So if Kane and Dele do manage it (still a big ask) they would indeed be the first double act to achieve it in the PL era.
Yep, not questioning Dele being more of a goal threat than Pogba, just part of Pogba's pricing is the fact that he is a regular goal contributor (for most midfielders)
Dele is a special player, if he keeps his form for the rest of the season, it will be interesting.

.. and this despite Dele starting out for us somewhere around CM / DM.

Did well not to react to Victor Valdes hands in his face - maybe a sign he's maturing (despite being 20).
Has he got any competition for the young player of the league this season? Be quite an achievement to win it back to back.

If Gabriel Jesus carries on the way he's started he might be a threat for the young player of the year award. Only playing a third of a season should preclude him though.
Robbo
Paul Walsh
Isn't the voting ridiculously early though, like mid February or something? He looks the real deal, but he'd have to perform in far more than three games to be a contestant for young player of the year.

True it isn't an end of season decision but it's later than mid Feb I think.
So in the words of Alan Partridge, to answer my original question, can I have a second series, sorry, I mean, who is Alli's biggest threat in terms of the Young Player of the Year?

I can't come up with any outstanding candidates, but I'm sure Pogba will be in the mix - based on hype, club and price tag mainly. He hasn't set the PL alight, that's for sure.
I'm no betting man, but according to Oddschecker, Dele is favourite at 1/2, then Kane 5/1, Pogba 6/1, Lukaku 10/1 and Sterling 16/1. Other names that come up are Iwobi, Rashford, Barkley, Dier, Origi, Martial and Iheanacho.
Is Coutinho too old this year? He was very good until his injury.
Last year's nominations were made public early april, so Jesus has got a few months to make his mark - if he keeps it up, he could very well be amongst the final six.
I'm guessing Dele, Kane, Pogba, Lukaku and Jesus will be five of the six nominees. No question so far that Dele is the favourite, IMO.
