I don't recollect us in recent times having a proper debate on TCR about whether we sold Dele at the right time and for the right amount. Either with, or without, hindsight, was it the right call?
I don't think we had much of a say on the timing, when Tottenham came on he had to go; at least we kept him till the summer. I think we should have got a bit more for him though as not long after Alli went, Everton paid around £10m to league one Charlton for Adempla Lookman, and Alli has proved to be much the better player. At least we've got a decent sell on clause.
It must be a fair sell on clause because John Cove was saying yesterday in Club Red that him and Pete can’t wait till the world transfer fee is broken and are praying for for it to happen soon.
