Love to know the line of thinking on this...
Alli is already class and proven over the course of two seasons in a MUCH tougher league. At 20.
A lot better on the ball for starters, one of Monaco's better players in both Champions League against Spurs, better temperament, more adaptable, a position that needs strengthening more, would be a lot cheaper and is only one year older than Alli.
...makes him a much better "prospect" than alli?
Alli is probably the best prospect in football right now along with gabby j and maybe asensio. His quality is proven without question, and i defy you to show me lemar doing anything close to what alli has done.
As for needing cover more in that position, i'd argue there are plenty of options at LM/RM yet truly only a few young proven CAM's who would be great for years at city. Alli is "the next lampard" as tolmie so aptly put it.
You may well have missed a few, but you also included 2 who are shite. If you'd stopped at "ridiculous" they'd be on the list though.The French have a ridiculous amount of young talent.
Areola, Varane, Umtiti, Zouma, Laporte, Kimpembe, Hernandez x 2, Mendy, Kurzawa, Digne, Sidibe, Kante, Tolisso, Rabiot, Nkunku, Pogba, Bakayoko, Lemar, O. Dembele, Martial, Mbappe, Coman, Augustin, Griezmann, Fekir, Lacazette, Cornet, M. Dembele.
All 25 or under and i probably missed a few.
Ah good old opinions, Areola and Digne?You may well have missed a few, but you also included 2 who are shite. If you'd stopped at "ridiculous" they'd be on the list though.
No mate. I'll give you a clue. The club that bought them got shafted on price, and hairdresser bills.Ah good old opinions, Areola and Digne?
:) They're just being badly coached those two ;)No mate. I'll give you a clue. The club that bought them got shafted on price, and hairdresser bills.
It certainly does. More to work with than Alli, better footballing brain too. As for Alli being the next Lampard? Nope miles out I am afraid. Lampard had better vision and was more composed.
