Dele Alli will be granted a move from Tottenham during January transfer window
Sad it has come to this. Was such an icon for us, but he's completely lost it this past year. His attitude seems to reek. Wish him the best though.

Can't agree on his attitude. With Son he looked the most ready physically for this season. Even now when he doesn't play regularly and clearly is out in the cold he still looks fit when he plays. He runs himself to the ground. He seems to try the hardest when things are tough. I know Mourinho has commented on his training, but if he has played better my guess is that would not have been an issue.
He is a strange player. A bit like Muller. Not comparing them in quality of course, but when they are out of form you wonder what they are really that good at? And when they are in form they seem to be involved in goals right, left and center. If we have had the Alli from some years back Spurs would have been my favourite to win the league now. He was that good. Now I just want him to leave. Not because I have anything against him, but I don't see a realistic way back. Even if the manager changes. I don't think he will find a new manager rating Alli higher than Mourinho seemingly did.
Credit to Mourinho. Alli was a favourite. Lost his place. Davies the same. Arguably even Aurier, but he has in excellent fashion got it back. Which Mourinho has acknowledged. So easy to get hung up on your favourites, but so far Mourinho has handled that excellently. Sissoko another one that has gone from probably been seen as a squad player to a very important one.

Saliba has been put on the transfer list, Arteta doesn't want him per Eurosport.
Vasilevskiy

I don't know everything Arteta might have said about Saliba, so there might be quotes I have missed, but from the ones I have seen I don't see that from his quotes at all. He wanted him to go out on loan - that is not the same as not wanting him.
Not that it is good that Saliba has indicated he is unhappy already. Good for Arsenal that is.

It's from a tabloid source, so I don't believe it, but it's funny anyways. The entire situation with how they have handled Saliba is hilarious, especially when you look at how well Fofana is performing with Leicester.

Something with Todibo is way off. Benfica's coach just said Todibo is not in his plans and that he is not physically nor tactically fit to play for them. They want to cancel the loan (Benfica paid 2 million to get him on loan)

Yea that was my point, Saliba was better last year than Fofana, but apparently Saliba isn't good enough for Arsenal while Fofana has been great for Leicester.

How is Upamecano playing these days? The little I have seen him this season hasn't been very impressive. Sample size is tiny though - so I'm not drawing any conclusions from it.

The problem for Liverpool in their pitch to someone like Upamecano is what happens when the team is healthy. I think they're way more likely to sign a journeyman than an exciting young CB.

I mean that’s a good problem. But yeah I mean let’s take Upamecano off the board. The other name that has been most connected has been Ben White at Brighton. He would be very useful because he can also play in the midfield. I think that’s who LFC focuses on now. Agent Adam Lallana has to get to work. Maybe LFC can throw Brighton like Nat Phillips or a Rhys Williams/Billy Koumetio loan to facilitate a deal, but Liverpool need to do something in January. They literally have zero fit center backs.

I think Kounde is better, but I think Kounde is too small for England. Man City thought he was too small for them this summer apparently so they went for Ruben Dias instead
Yeah and United thought Bruno couldn't pass properly.

He’s expensive but he is a long term target and he plays two positions. Plus LFC are going to be desperate with literally no healthy center backs. If they do sign someone it’ll be someone that they have been after for a while. They won’t pull a random FIFA signing out of their back pocket. I’m still not convinced they are signing anyone though.Ben White sounds expensive. Especially in January.
Sanchez would cost you half
