Summer transfer window.

Delap and Stones seem like no brainers to me.

I like Delap. Seems to have got a bum deal at Chelsea. We all make mistakes though.
Moyes really fancied him too. We ended up with the dud called Barry instead.

Barry has outscored Delap by 5x without being supplied by Cole Palmer this season.

Maybe, but if he gets offers from decent clubs in Europe I think he'd consider doing so.

He's not a problem but @Lanolin raised a good point the other day that we need to get better at selling our mid-pack players as well as letting our worst players go on a free and the better players being sold for the big bucks. Shifting Myko and McNeil this summer will keep things ticking over on the financial front and makes sense because both can and should be upgraded.

….we just have no idea what the situation with players contracts is, it can be complex and is not always a simple case of ‘sell or renew’.

Striker is not as important as sorting out the full-backs and getting some balance on the right wing. No striker is going to look any good consistently with the way we progress the ball and create chances. Not to say we don't need one, we obviously do, but we'll be right back here again in 12 months without those other positions being sorted as a priority.

Agreed. I think it's a big reason that players like Ndiaye don't have a better return either.

Don't hold back..
That is Brutal

There’s Too many young footballers like Delap. We’ve got one even worse. Badly advised, chasing the money, not putting the effort in. I’d be swerving Delap for all the same reasons we shouldn’t chasing Barry.

Joking aside Jordan James from Leicester wouldn't be a bad signing. Firesale imminent there.

He's only on loan there.

Just shows the levels of strikers around these days.

….after watching them recently, I’m not sure I’d want any of them although he’s the one the fans seem to appreciate the most. He was under pressure but tucked his penalty away well last night.

Championship young player of year wasn't he ?

 

[Mr Happy]

He's only on loan there.

Oh right

 

[Eggs]

He's only on loan there.

….i think Leicester have an option to buy for £5m, presume that’s unlikely now. I’d imagine Rennes would get more, unless Leicester buy and flip for a profit.

….yep.

 

[ToffeeScot]

Everyone here agrees that we need to upgrade on Beto so why are people considering Delap? The only thing he's better at than Beto is dribbling and that's only because Beto can't dribble at all.

Anyone who want Delap might want to read these comments from Drogba

Burned!

 

[Kurt.]

Tavernier leaving Rangers @davek

 

[st.domingo]

As fans we need a hero up front for us like a Sharp Lineker Gray Lukaku Richarlison even a Ferguson to some extent.

Not a Maupay Rondon Tosun Barry Delap etc.
Come on Everton and Moyes aim higher, unfortunately I cant see it.

Moyes will be in for Delap

This is where the rest of the recruitment team need to earn their corn

 

[Makis]

Lots of talk about Hackney today. Would be a very Moyes-type signing, still quite young but lots of experience in the Championship.
