Transfer Rumour Liam Delap

[Drico]

Maybe it is a snooker term? Davis vs Taylor black ball final, is it between us and an other?

Usually the phrase is "behind the 8 ball" - meaning snookered, basically, or in an awkward position.

Delap is an interesting one. If he's smart - and we've done some serious self-promotion behind the scenes - then coming to us would make a lot of sense for a player who has loads still to prove and needs the chance to do so.

If his ego gets in the way, he'll be off to United. If his bank manager does, it'll be Chelsea.

I suspect he'll split the difference between ego and money and choose Newcastle.

Will we sign Delap..?

"We're behind the black and white balls" was what he meant to say.

Geordies, it is.

Wrong thread sorry.

I lied, I just got so confused.

Think Beto will score more goals than him tbh. Doesn't look any better than a load of other freshly promoted striker's, tbh

Robust, likes winning headers, savours the physical confrontation. He isn't shearer, he's that other pr!ck, sutton.

He’s quick and can carry the ball. Also a good finisher. I think he’s worth the risk.

Although I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up at United.

Verbally agreed. See what happens.

Boom, boom, tish!

More of a basket case than us.

What status is that ?

my one

The thing I dont get is Moyes is so out of character to come out and actually name a player he's having discussions with.

He is the master of down playing expectations and I don't ever recall him doing this.

Is it closer than we think ?..very strange.
