Transfer Rumour Liam Delap

[NilSatisOptimum]

Not the sharpest tool in the box starting on O'Brien last week!

 

[Marcus Kendall]

I don’t really see any similarities with Alan smith

I don’t think Alan smith was a tall target man type of striker

I dunno, the Arsenal one did a good target man job at Anfield on the last day of the 88-89 season

 

[Ruairi77]

My question was more 'why is there so much interest in him'
He's young, physical, but hasn't scored a ton, is it all potential?
Haven't seen a lot of him but from what I have seen he's a bottom half PL striker. We already have two of them.

Thought Jake was going to make Cider out of him for a second.

Should fit right in at Bramley Moore.

Maybe there's a bit more about him in a better side? Ipswich have been foamy diarrhea all season so he's stood out as capable of a lot more.

 

[Sam0697]

I'm not sold on him at all. Is he really much better than what we already have?

 

[14_dollars]

I’d be surprised if we were interested in Delap.

I’d be very surprised if he accepted an offer from us.

He’s 1 goal away from equalling Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s best ever season in front of fans. It’s his first ever season in the top flight and he’s playing for a muck side. So yes.

Which Alan Smith? The Arsenal one or the Leeds one?

 

[Raino85]

I'm not sure either.

People are saying 12 goals in a relegated team (2 penaltys)

Carlton Morris- 11 goals
Elijah Adebayo - 10 goals
Rodrigo - 13 goals
Temu Pukki - 11 goals
Emmanuel Dennis 11 goals

 

[Raino85]

I don't get it.
Chelsea, city, newcastle all in for him.
What am I missing here?
Beto was way better than him last week
If you take out penos he has something like 8 in 38.

The good old football manager ' allows to use club as a stepping stone'?

Chelsea dont buy players with a strategy to play them, Dewsbury Hall, Tosin Aderabayo etc etc
Newcastle have Isak, does he want to play second fiddle?

 

[Raino85]

Haven't they and Isak confirmed that he will be leaving. I thought they had now. Arsenal or RS beckon I think.

No way he woulds leave Newcastle just to go to Arsenal

Newcastle have the ability and potential to be better than Arsenal not just in the future, but next season

 

[allen]

I’d be surprised if we were interested in Delap.

Well, we are.

The Moyes quote:

He would be one who we would certainly have an interest in… we would certainly be interested if he was interested in us.

That’s for sure.

I’d be very surprised if he accepted an offer from us.

So yes, this is the crux of it.

 

[windymiller]

Didn't he end up in midfield because he couldn't score?

Now that's the sort of striker Everton usually sign

 

[PhilRegan]

But would he be the main man at those teams? If he joined us and hit the ground running he'd be adored as our new number 9

What about if he just hit the ground?
