Wouldn't take him on a free, been freeloading for two years now.
Who would even want his profile of a player. Barely any top team relies on a number 10 like him, and his work rates suck. Needs to secure his next move wisely.
You're not wrong, a player like him could definitely be someone Pep could improve a lot. But his issue is also his attitude in training, described lazy openly by Mou and by Poch on a couple occasions. Nothing a manager can't really fix however. Would definitely take him for under £50m.I think he’s a very good player but inconsistent. A bit like Sterling pre-Pep and I’d be interested to see how he’d progress under Pep’s management.
However, I do agree about his position comment. Dele isn’t really a central midfielder nor a striker, 8 years ago when the 4-2-3-1 was the go to formation he’d have been perfect. But I don’t see how he fits in a 4-3-3.
Then again, I didn’t see David Silva becoming a great all around central midfielder like he did under Pep.
If he’s available for under £50 million his signing would be a no brainier.
