Arsenal have apparently made an approach for Delap according to Talkshite

Red cartel doing the blue cartel a favour. Liverpool are playing in 3rd gear here

He just did what he normally does - loads of energy, loads of endeavour, no end product. That run where he went too far and ran the ball out of play is basically Joe Willock summed up in one move.

Miley looks more impressive every time I see him. That run he had in the team at the age of 17, he played it safe, kept it neat but didn't really show anything exceptional. Right now he looks twice the player Longstaff is and has end product to his game, which is something Willock sadly doesn't. He should be getting more minutes.

I think he's the perfect fit for us but I think you're being optimistic when you say he wouldn't cost a fortune. He also seems very 'London'. Not sure he'd fancy a move up north

Very Isak-esque actually. Great shout

It's not that he has it wrong - he's just using the tools he has at his disposal. I'm sure if he had a better option in the squad, that option would be picked over Willock. His versatility and energy are his strengths but if you offered Eddie those attributes with goals and assists added in, we likely wouldn't see Willock again.

I disagree. He used to regularly get in good positions and then balloon his shot over the bar, like clockwork. That’s the part of his game we all thought Eddie would improve but if anything he’s gone backwards. The assists side of his game is also pretty poor too. i love his energy and running but it’s not enough.

Said it before, if he had end product he'd be a £50-60m player. But he doesn't and never will have, which is why we should cash in while his stock is still relatively high. He's the kind of squad player we should be looking to upgrade as we evolve - onwards and upwards

We've just won our first domestic trophy for generations, we could well be playing in the CL and we have the best midfield in the league. DCL should be absolutely nowhere near our list of targets, PSR or no PSR. He would be the most underwhelming signing we could make.

Remember when Almiron scored goals for fun in that one season? Then he turned to shit. Murphy is having a purple patch and long may it continue, but we can't bank on it. We need a better quality option on that side of the pitch and if they have to sit on the bench for a while behind Murphy, fair enough.

His wages and squad place also limit our ability to bring in someone who can actually benefit the team. Great club servant, and that should never be forgotten, but there's no room in football for sentimentality at the cost of progress

Pretty sure she's involved with commentary and punditry in the men's game, no? Is she there because she's the best, most qualified person available? If not, isn't she blocking an up-and-coming male pundit from coming through?

Burnley’s CB, Maxim Esteve looked a decent player. Reminds me a bit of Botman in the way he plays. He’s only 22 as well.

I don't think there's another CB like him in world football. We'll never be able to replace him like for like. His finishing, ball striking and passing range are better than most midfielders.
