Transfer Rumour Liam Delap

Genuinely interested to know what the “there’s a player in there” crew have specifically seen that has led them to such a conclusion, other than probably looking on Wikipedia and seeing he scored 12 for Ipswich once upon a time.
 
Nosedived since leaving Ipswich, seems to be more interested in being a faux hardman than a centre forward nowadays. Must have had his nose put out of joint (which would go unnoticed on his rather strange face) once the vastly superior Joao Pedro was signed, immediately after him.

He’s lost whatever he had going for him and doesn’t look bright enough (maths genius aside) on the pitch to be able to get it back. Having said all that, Moyes will probably pay more than Chelsea did and yet another lumbering alehouse striker will bless the squad which is in desperate need of some quality up front.

I don’t want to be the only one defending him, but he has better technique and strikes the ball better than Barry, Beto and even Dom. As ridiculous as lots of people on here will probably find it - me too having watched him struggle last night! - I don’t think it’s that big a leap to imagine that if he came here and got the style of play and stable home he needs, he could be leading the line for England this time next year.

He strikes the ball like me mate. FWIW Beto is by no means a technically gifted footballer and he strikes the ball much cleaner than Delap.

Yeah forget the England stuff, unless they’re reforming the D team.

I misunderstood there - when you said you were genuinely interested, I thought you genuinely meant it!
 
Got mates who are PNE and Stoke fans, they said he was one of worst strikers they've ever had. This is PNE and Stoke!! The question is can he spin a career out of running around into people for another 10 years?

He would need a neck brace with the HOOF ball
