Thays an important one. I found out about his situation when I was on my ban and it was quite sad looking back at how I'd shouted when he was going through that.
It must be said though, that commenting on a footballers ability purely through the lense of a footballing aspect - is okay. Even at the game. It's when it crosses into a personal divide is when it goes too far.
I've said some things about Dele, and a lot I take back but a lot I stand by. Stuff about how his careers gone off track maybe because he's got too content I can take back a bit. But other stuff such as the Mourinho thing I still hold into because it's football reasons. He was injured and was on his way down before JM walked in - he can't be to blame for the situation. And I think Dele had a chance to pass the buck and he didn't. Sounds as if he had no problem with him at all.
In fairness to Dele he said on multiple occasions in the interview that he doesn't blame others for the decisions he then took. It was more laying out the factors that affected him. I thought it was a very significant interview in terms of the content, the issues it raised and how both participants handled it. Devastating to hear what Dele went through and it explains a lot about what went wrong in the last few years.
But as others have mentioned I heard someone who had worked hard to face their demons and was in a good place as a result. If that can flow through to his football it will be interesting to see how it unfolds.
I for one have everything crossed for him.
