Doing a deal with spurs so we can resign Delle, Sean must have seen something in training . If he’s fit and his heads right he’s a player.

He could be a great player for us, he also could be a dud as he has been since he signed, time will tell but I hope that we are not paying out too much for the trial.

Is he still under contract at Spurs?
I keep reading he's a free agent.

He’s a free agent FBS, but there are clauses in the contract he had with us which mean we would owe spurs a chunk if we resign him. Appears that we’re trying to renegotiate these terms. Makes sense as Spurs would get nothing if he signs for another team.

We would still have to pay them the 10m if he plays so many games. That’s what the club are trying to negotiate on.

That's absolutely mental. All of a sudden I have flashbacks of very early Dragons Den where someone would be offered a smaller deal and they'd turn it down only for one of the Dragons to use the expression "What's 100% of nothing? "
So does that mean if Deli signed elsewhere as a free agent, for any other club in the world, he'd be a free agent? Able to negotiate his own terms without any Spurs entanglement? So even if we signed him in 4 years time from say Wrexham, that original deals clauses would be due and kick back to Spurs? How is that even legally binding?

Well as mad as it seems that’s the agreement the club made. Levy won’t let that go easy.

If it's seven more games then we will be ok. Chances are he will only make five before being injured.

Levy is a genius.

He’s not a genius FBS; we are just fools!

By the sounds of it no fee will be due and only a sell on clause. Dele also has agreed a lower wage.
I personally think, now he's shed some enormous baggage that I can't even imagine how he has coped in silence, that we may see a player again.
I'm absolutely able to give him a chance. He was magnificent in his prime and if anyone thinks back to the palace game when we stayed up, it was partly because of him.
