Liam Delap - Ipswich Town

yup! Son!

I hope we can get him for Ireland…

Edit : he can’t as he’s played U21 for England recently. The rule would have been handy for Rice and Grealish who would have instantly been our best players


Yeah he's been a main stay in England youth for a while now

Know your getting old when even real life is producing regen players.
 
Looks a great talent. Word of warning though, people were saying very similar things about the Brighton lad Ferguson last season and now he’s struggling to get in their team. Let’s give him a couple of years to develop and then pounce. We really need guarantees not gambles up front now!
 
Seeing him linked with us today. Seems like one of those battering ram type strikers that are super limited, to me. I dunno

It looks like he has a bit more to him but I've not seen massive amounts of him.

Can finish, a bit of mobility and happy to press and get physical with defenders. Dont think hes starting lineup material if we're getting back to the top 4 but he'd offer more than our striking options other than Hojlund when he plays well which isnt every week

If we move Zirkzee on or he becomes a rotation option for the 10 roles, then it could make sense to have Delap as competition for Hojlund. But in reality signing a striker who will probably get us 20 goals if we start them is a better option
 
Thought he played well against United but I was nonetheless quite surprised to hear Danny Murphy (in my opinion a more knowledgeable pundit than many give him credit for), call Delap an excellent all-round striker, and the natural successor to Kane.

High praise indeed, though maybe premature.

Danny Murphy is okay (it's a bit awkward when he seems desperate for Simon Jordan's approval).

Working for Talksport just demands a constant stream of "hot takes" for clicks.
 
Can’t say I’ve seen loads of Delap but from what I have seen I’m impressed. Bit surprised city didn’t keep him as a back up for Haaland.

They don't keep want away players.

They also give players 2 seasons to prove themselves.

It's actually a good system tbh.
