They've been doing this for a while now. When you look at their signings, every player is £30M+ minimum (usually a lot more). It's the only way they can get players in, over pay and also pay crazy wages. Their team play like they hate being...
No matter who Man United buy or what they spend, they are on a downward trajectory…just throwing money at a problem without realising or acknowledging the main cause of your problem.
We’ve seen that at first hand although on a smaller scale.
If he's going to fail anywhere then surely he'd be better failing somewhere where he can still have a chance of success. First time he goes 5 or 6 games without a goal at Chelsea, he's getting dropped and replaced. At least at Everton, he'd have...
If he'd have shown any sort of form in his loan to West Han then I'd have said this was an option, but I'm not sure he even got a game for them. If he did then he certainly didn't produce anything. Better options out there for me.
He'll join a long list of promising young players who are in the massive senior playing squad but hardly actually play football at Chelsea. Even if they don't sign more strikers (which they more than likely will) he's going to be second or third...
They could also buy 5 strikers at the drop of a hat. Delap could very quickly find his only chance of playing football is through a loan deal (ala Broja). I get the appeal of the higher wage and chance of playing Champions League, but in reality...
He obviously backs himself to do well at a team in the champions league.
I don’t see what the fuss is about and if we had a decent scouting network across Europe, we would pick up a bargain with similar/better profile to Delap.
I'm not expecting him to sign with us. Utd will offer him more money, as will Newcastle and Chelsea (who are both in the champions league). Yes, I'd expect us to be able to offer more regular game time, but as mentioned above, he will back...
Swerve! He's on way too much money and isn't the player he was when city bought him. Soon to be 30, his career is going one way. He'd be better sitting on his massive contract at city for 2 more years, then retiring.
