Transfer Rumour Liam Delap

[Isla de pajaros]

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

Temu Pukki sounds like a cheap Chinese version of Teemu Pukki

I'm not convinced, he had a great season, but, so did Adebeyor in the prem for Luton. He looks a great prospect, but, can we afford to take a £30 million punt on a lad with one good season behind him. If we sign him I hope he works out, I just think the fee is a lot for a club in our financial position, for a player who is yet to show how he copes with the second season, when all the defenders are alive to his threat.

Adebayor just imagining him at Luton . Adebayo my good man

Haha we've all been there

 

[blue to the bone]

Can we talk about him in his own thread @Eggs...

Liam Delap..Welcome to United !

 

[chrismpw]

His own thread ffs!

Wake uo @Eggs

Also first.

 

[vintage-toffees]

Sadly won’t happen his agent will either have him sit on a bench at a Chelsea type club for money
Or Newcastle will sign him if internally they know isaks on his way out this summer..
Outside of that we would be ideal for him for a few seasons while we rebuild

 

[Thomasc]

Kiss of death his own thread.

That said, not really arsed. If he joins Everton then great let’s hope he turns out decent, if he doesn’t not arsed.

Anyone else find “presented the project” proper cringeworthy?

We shouldn’t be trying to compete with Man Utd and Chelsea for players as they can offer silly money.

We should be looking overseas and in the lower leagues for little known or un-fancied players with upside.

 

[allen]

Not really sure which way this one goes.

I think he’d be nuts to go to United.

If he goes to Chelsea, I can see them loaning him out to us for a season.

But who knows? Maybe he’ll see our small squad and paucity of options as his preferred choice.

 

[Encoder]

My first question if I were Delap would be asking about Moyes track record with Strikers over the years.

Then run out the door.

Good player though, hope we get him.

 

[f.t.r.s]

Sign for us, be the main man, insert a reasonable release clause (70mill?)

That way if he Carry-on improving and we don't he'll know he has a good chance of going to a top club still

 

[Blue peter]

He must be a little interested. If rumours of other clubs like Utd and Chelsea being interested are true, there would be no need for him to waste his time with us if he wasn’t interested. Thankfully we won’t have BK trying to sell the club to him regaling him of stories of the boys pen. This situation is a little bit of a throwback and reminds me of the time we were in for Collymore.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

He's not long turned 22.

He should be prioritising playing time. Does he get a game at Man Utd, Chelsea or Newcastle?

I'm sure we'd offer comparable wages to elsewhere.

Everytime I've watched him Ive thought he looked like a perfect Everton forward. He also can't half carry the ball, which we desperately need.

True and in a perfect world, that would happen. But he’s proven himself in the PL and adds to our home grown quota.
