This isn’t a blame Dele Ali article because let’s be honest, 85% of this Spurs side are bang average. They have been around for a good 6/7 years and have achieved nothing as a team. They have been nothing short of embarrassing for well over a year now and that CL bottle job last season completely papered over the cracks. We were sh** last season and we are even worse this season.
But, the main point of this article is to express my opinion in that I seriously wouldn’t be sad to see Dele Ali sold this summer. He’s one of our “big" players that can accumulate a lot of funds still because his reputation still puts him in a decent light due to his stats, but In reality if you actually watch Spurs, he has the touch of a baby giraffe and isn’t actually that good of a footballer. Shove the ball into the box and Ali on the odd occasion will get on the end of it because his movement is his best quality, but ask him to move the ball well and create something, he honestly is so bang average and lacks any conviction whatsoever in what he does.
Ball bouncing off his knees constantly. Horrendously out of form for 2 seasons now bar the odd brief spell, bad attitude, off field problems and I’m honestly sick of the sight of him. If we can somehow get 70 mil for him and I honestly think we could with the amount of s** that goes for huge fee’s these days, we should seriously consider getting rid of Ali and putting it towards completely re investing in the whole squad.
Sell Ali and draft in a quality centre back and Max Aaron’s right back. His fee would pretty much pay for a couple of quality additions at the back, as the defence are a bag of s** and every single one of them needs drafting out. Would happily invest in a whole new defence, sell Ali in the process and buy a top quality striker. Levy/ENIC doing this is another matter altogether. Shambles of a club run by a bunch of clowns.

On the actual topic I’d sell anyone but Kane from the squad that weren’t just signed if the money was right
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If we were offered silly money for Kane I'd take it all day
He's injury prone and has without doubt declined since a few seasons ago
At least Dele is still only 23
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dont think we can replace his goals
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We could if we scouted correctly

He's already at 17 goals this season and by the sounds of it is only about a month away, he'll be in the low 20s by the end of the year if he plays in like 6-8 games imo

No way should we think about selling Ali, Christ, Winks has to go before him!! And Dier and Aurier and Davies and Sissoko and Sanchez! Who know's about Gedson, bizarre purchase but will give him the benefit of doubt?
Ali in my opinion does have talent and dynamism, that's proven, he needs to be managed and differently. We sell him and he'll come back to haunt us I'm sure.

Just buy a bus, cheaper than shelling out for a new backline.And how Moronhio sets up.It will be for the best in the long run

Let’s be honest, bar Lo Celso, all of our signings have been utter waaaaank. Terrible scouting and buying players in positions we don’t need.

If we had another striker Kane wouldn't be so overplayed and therefore maybe less injury prone. We simply need another striker anyway but to sell Kane would be a mistake.
I agree he hasn't been as prolific as he was a few seasons ago, but the form has still been good, and there's always the hope that he'll be able to reach that standard again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Kane's ego would not stand for it, he's the type of striker who demands to play every minute of every game, which hasn't helped him
I truly believe these ankle injuries have effected him physically to the point where he won't recover his previous form
Don't get me wrong he's obviously still a very good striker. But more of a 15-20 goal striker than a 25-30 like he used to be
So if a club offers silly money I think it would be foolish to turn it down
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Na Kane is more prolific than that even now. Last season he got 24 despite a lengthy injury.

I’m talking in the league mate
Over the past two seasons Kane has 28 in 47 starts
The two seasons prior he had 59 in 64 starts. He was a monster
