He never really developed as a player beyond his ability to arrive in the box at the right time and finish off chances. He wasn’t a great passer or a player who could dominate the midfield or create. Hell of a player in his prime, albeit somewhat of a niche player. For the record, I’m rooting for him to get his career back on track. He’s had a tough life and seems like a good character on the whole. It’s sad to see how far his stock has fallen as he scored an incredibly impressive number of goals in his first two seasons with us.
I think he's always was a bit of a luxury player, very effective but the team has to be able to "carry" him for parts of a game (yes, I know he works hard but it's more game contribution)
He's going to struggle in a league that emphasizes work rate and has tons of 6/10 players every game, without the right manager to gamble on him, and the system to take advantage of the late run, auxiliary creator/striker ability .. he should seriously consider Europe

His work rate is top drawer but it’s his impact that’s dropped.
His head has to be right but with the right coach that may come back

On the money.
His workmate was excellent during those times...he was often, along with Eriksen, the player with the most yards covered. Very smart defensively too.
I think he was a generational talent who lost his way, in large part, due to injuries and also (as we have since learned) his mental state. I blame Mourinho for contributing to that BTW.
It will be intertesting to see how he can assimilate back into the modern game. I'd love him at ours nostalgically, but system-wise there is no space for him. It will be interesting to see where he ends up...love the guy and want him to succeed again.

I’d be willing to take a gamble just to have him with us again, but am aware that’s heart over head stuff.

Bound to happen when you spend most of your life in a change room with several languages and half-english being spoken.
Like Dier it's a sign of empathy to adjust your accent to suit those around you.

Sounds like someone from South Wales to me?

Seems a shame that he’s been training with, and is being helped by Everton, rather than us. Obviously they were his last club, but we were his home for a much longer time than them. Really feel for him.

He is washed up I'm afraid. A real pity, he could have been one of the true greats!

Dele lost his way well before Jose. I don't agree that Jose did anything to him except try to advise him.

A fair point but IMO, Jose did not help the situation whatsoever, and added to it tenfold. Just my view.

Dele needed to be at a club where you can run marathons for your manager and spend all that time in the red zone knowing re-enforcements will arrive in one of the transfer windows. It never did, especially 2017 when an AM that would have been the most critical signing. Eriksen was in exactly the same boat, having just run and run and run for Poch in his system.
I don't blame Poch because he was the victim of the club's financial situation with the stadium. I'm sure he wanted depth around these 2 gems and didn't mean to cause the physical issues that Dele ended up with.
As for Jose, he was a complete arsehole with Dele in my opinion. Dele was getting to that age where the teenage trauma was building and building. He need help. He was also spending way too much time with the soft tissue injuries. Last thing he needed was Jose loading on. He needed a cuddle.
