Everton signed Alli with a clause that means they will have to pay Tottenham £10 million as soon as he makes 20 appearances which he hasn't done yet.
As it stands all they are doing his paying his wages and technically signed him on a free from spuds.
Looks like hes played 13 times, and it will take more than 7 games to get Alli back up to speed. Can Everton afford to give Alli 10-15 games, pay Spuds 10m and find out hes finished at the top level anyway. Not sure, especially with their financial situation.
