Delap looks to me like he hasn’t got that next level skill set and touch that you would expect from a striker (hopefully) playing regularly in Europe. 
Lots of effort and good physicality though. 

 

Reminds me of a Craig Bellamy type player. Without the off the scale cuntishness.

Bellamy had transformational pace which scared the shit out of opposition defenses. That in turn allowed our other players like Shearer to do their thing. Does Delap have that?

Probably not. Similar high press, all action style though. Not afraid to throw himself about either. That’s what reminds me of him. Granted it’s not like looking in a mirror style wise, just elements of his game.

[kingxlnc]

Trafford / Chevalier

Hujisen / Tapsoba / Diomande / Thiaw

Angel Gomes / Anguissa (both free agents)

Alikouche / Mbeumo (1st choice RW)

Dibling / Roony Bardhaji (young potential RW)

David / Delap 

One from each line please

[Kimbo]

I’m not taking this Delap talk seriously, I can’t see us spending tens of millions on a forward unless they’re also a top RW.

At 30m I can, but the price means he will have offers from other clubs which he fins more attractive. 

[Jewel]

Delap needs to choose his next club very carefully. If he goes somewhere like Manure or Chelsea, that could ruin his career beyond repair.

 

He should understand that someone like Eddie will make him the very best that he can be. He also gets to play alongside and learn from one of the very best in Alexander Isak. It's a no-brainer if I was him.

That's 100% an impartial view

Reminds me of tevez. Low centre of gravity, strong, hard working.

[gbandit]

Semenyo is a lot more than a run merchant, he’s a really good player but probably not good business at this stage 

[kingxlnc]

If we can sign one Tonali Isak out of the blue style player of the highest calibre who would you want it to be? 
 

For me it would be Arda Guler 

[Skeletor]

He has very good feet / good skill / scores goals / strong / great attitude

I think Delap is class. Didn’t like him flopping at the weekend, needs to drop that from his game but he’s a very well rounded centre forward. No idea how we’d use him though so not that desperate to sign him

Wasnt Tevez about 5ft 6? Delap looks about 6ft.

Looks like he played a lot on the right at Hull...

In games like yesterday where we have loads of the ball. Don't really need that extra CM, then you can have Delap occupying CBs/runs, with Isak playing off him in more space / finding the ball, with us knowing there's still an option in the box. Going to find more games as we move forward where we are giving more of the ball, so there's going to be many times we need to change approach. What let us down it felt last season being rigid to the 4-3-3, than when we tried something in a 4-2-3-1 with Gordon it didn't work. Having a fast CB who can sweep up counters is essential part of this too.

 

Wilson / Isak worked well as an option previously, not had that possibility all season due to Wilson falling off a cliff edge.

I don’t think he’s got a soft touch if you know what I mean. Powerful, energetic, as you said - great attitude, reads the game well and hits the ball hard. 
Looks like what I imagine a good German striker would look like  

Good fit for Villa I reckon. 
Apart from Isak we lack finesse in the final 3rd. Don’t think Delap would solve that on his own.

[nufc123]

Didnt Douglas say a while ago that the new RW was as good as ready?

Tevez and Bellamy? What on earth are you both on? He’s a completely different type of striker / footballer / athlete to both. 

[Jimburst]

 Aye, nowt like em. He's got a bit of the mid to late shearer's about him, good technique, strong, hits it hard.

[Fak]

Reminds me of Carsten Jancker.

[John P]

Is he quick? He's got a bit of a lumbering running style, but he does seem to get away from defenders in his highlight reels

Tbf, he'll probably fancy his chances of replacing Hojlund or Jackson far more than Isak.
