The best thing about the first one is the lino mouthing wow
This is my worry about getting Mendes (or Gestifute) clients into the club, though - it opens up the possibility of Mendes using that player to sway others into appointing him as their agent, and then it could well unravel from there. In this case, of course, the rumors about Mendes and Alli came despite the former having no representation at the club...but if the summer's transfer speculation was true and we were indeed pursuing Andre Gomes, then that could have been what brought that super-agent influence into the dressing room if it were pushed through.
When we tried approaching another Mendes client in Mourinho back in 2007 (after his first sacking at Chelsea), it was a much less dangerous situation, because we had no world class players worth wooing, really (apart from Berba, King and Keane, I suppose) - and if we got Mourinho in, then Mendes couldn't fudge around moving the players we *did* have to other clubs, because it would be f*cking over his own client in Mourinho. But, ten years on, letting Mendes into the club on the player side of things is a dangerous, dangerous prospect, especially given the age and potential of this squad.
Don't think that clip shows all Dele's touches in that game. I thought he also did a lot of chasing back and harrying but that seems to have been omitted.
Real are preparing the cheque book as we speak. Great game from him, shame he missed that easy header for 4-0, but all is forgiven now. This, I believe, is when Dele's season really starts. He'll be in my fantasy team for the weekend for sure..
