Sounds like his career has really branched out

WE SHOULD OFFER HIM AN OLIVE BRANCH LOLLO

Looks like we've been told we've got no chance of signing Delap. Shame as he'd have been good value for money.

Where have you seen this?

In the Guardian, apparently his representatives have told clubs that he's only interested in top of the table/ clubs in Europe.

That's Man U out of the running then.

Good luck with that. He's just been relegated. He'll be on the bench for Newcastle or Chelsea all season

Why do people keep obsessing with Delap. He hasn't even been that good this season. His goal ratio to minutes is worse than Beto. He even has a worse goals to minutes than fellow Ipswich striker George Hirst who has 0.47, Beto has 0.5 and delap has 0.42. I get that he's younger but a lot of it is just hype.

I trust Moyes to find some better option abroad or elsewhere.

English bias ? Because he's on loan from Man City ? Might even be deliberate PR hype - I assume agents try that.

It's not just the goals. His hold-up play is good. He runs the channels, his passing is good, and he's got a bit of snide about him. He would have been a perfect Everton number 9, but I'm sure he'll do well at Newcastle, which is where I think he'll go.

If Isaak and Wilson are still at Newcastle he won’t be going there.

I don’t think we will get him but also I’m not too bothered because I don’t think he’s the be all and end all. I think the lad Ferguson has a higher ceiling ability wise but clearly has some off pitch issues.

If he’s as good as we’re all making out then Arsenal would snap him up as they need a number 9 but I don’t want to see us in a bidding war with West Ham or Fulham and paying out a load of money for a player that the top clubs aren’t interested in.

how does it look like

That Ferguson reminds me of Connor Whickham. Big lad, Early hype and a few goals but was soon playing in the lower leagues.,

….the top teams want players who score goals from nothing, like Isak. Delap is combative and competitive but he looked very ordinary against our CBs, indeed Hirst created more problems when he came on.

I’d not be overly keen on Delap, surely better out there for £30m.

He represents good value for money with a lot of potential.

I thought Ipswich owned him?

Wilson is absolutely washed they definitely need another centre forward regardless of if Isak stays, because his injury record isn’t great.
