Parrot wouldn't go cheep though?

Plays off the shoulder, I've heard.

Yes, but there's no guarantee he could knock Dom off his perch

Heard on a Pirate radio station that the Dutch club weren't willing to let anyone take him off their shoulders unless it was for a large randsom

I think we will sign delap . Moyes mentioning it in his press conference that we are interested, Andy hunter in the paper Monday making a big deal of it and even the stuff with him signing the wall of the house. Something maybe verbally agreed .

Moyes tends to play a straight bat when players of other clubs are mentioned. Always has…

So for him to actively come out and claim we’re interested to me is very out of character.

If Delap/his agent were against the move surely that info would have been relayed by now. So for Moyes to make such statements would make him/club look foolish.

We clearly have a chance and him signing the wall is an indication he’d be open to join.

TFG in their first season brought Lukaku as a statement signing. Perhaps Delap is our version

Get him in early and other players will want to join.

He'd be quite a coup.

Or a method of distraction from the real target

Lukaku?

Not unless Parrot goes out on the wing...

I am a fan Delap but £30m is very steep so another cheaper alternative would be Troy Parrott

He has been in great form for AZ Alkmaar and previously Excelsior plus playing international and European comps this season.

Sadly could never break through at Spurs so spent most of his time out on loans to Preston, Millwall but suffered untimely knocks which kept him out.

Only 23 and could be available for £15m-20m

Parrots too much of a pretty boy then!

We’ve tried every other way of recruiting players, I think we go all in on signing players with silly names this summer.

Troy Parrott and Brian Brobbey up front for starters.

Dodgy links to Junior Firpo at Leeds.
28 with 4 goals & 10 assists from LB.

Last season 8 assists for them.

Out of contract in the summer.

Didn't Ampadu chant at their parade he was going to Betis?

Might be because there is a release clause which we have triggered (other clubs possibly too)

If you are getting bids rejected or playing the 'Branthwaite to United game' of low balling a club, that's when you shouldn't mention a player

But if a player ahs a release clause and you have put a bid in for that clause, then you might see that as 'ok' to mention the player

I agree. It would be highly unusual for him to confirm the interest if he didn’t at the very least think it was possible. The only way he’d know that is for conversations to have taken place

It's a shame Rod Fanni has retired.

That Vaginitis guy fits the bill.
