The Prophet Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Big fan of Delap, he's a proper throwback. For the sake of his career though, he needs to play for a club where he'll be first choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paully Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 (edited) Yep - no chance Delap comes here to sit on the bench! Edited March 7 by Paully Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamPS Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 It’s sensible that the club have succession plans for all players. I hope isaks succession plan isn’t needed for a few years yet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Delap either goes to a side like Fulham etc. where he’s a regular, but priced out of future moves and no Europe majority of time. Or he joins a side like us (or Villa etc) where you are never going to be first name on team sheet from word go, and it’s down to you to change that.

Mahoneys Tache Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Delap has a Jamie Vardy vibe about him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Is Delap that highly rated? I know people like and talk about him, but there's a big difference between that and genuinely being an elite player. They talk about Evan Ferguson as well. I like him mind, seems a really good player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 6 minutes ago, Mahoneys Tache said: Delap has a Jamie Vardy vibe about him. Agree. Not in their qualities as players, but in their mentality on the pitch. They've got that dog in them, chasing, harrassing, and always looking to get a psychological advantage over their opponents. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big River Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Delap is absolutely quality. no doubt in my mind he could make the step up and become a leading European striker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
southernmag Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I agree that Delap has the potential to go to the top, but like others have said, we'd be signing him a year after we should've. And paying the price (literally) for it. IMO David on a free is smarter business in the current PSR climate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Delap will be about £40m since that’s the buy back Man City have I think, so not having window to buy him being last year and it’s gone. This is the last window, after that it’s £80m+ if trajectory continues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc123 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Replacement for Isak the article said. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 If he was available at an acceptable price and we get european football next season, I don't think he'd be opposed to joining us because of Isak. He'd get a lot of football here due to rotation, Isak injuries & occasionally when we want to play with two up top like we did quite a lot with Isak and Wilson two seasons ago when we were chasing an equalizer.

Nine Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Delap does have a very high ceiling, probably elite potentially. And he’s English. But he needs to go somewhere to play or he won’t realise it. If we have Isak we are no good for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 If his attitude was / is right then it’s clearly a great move. He’s got a lot of Isak traits (not close to his overall level) while being more of an athlete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JigsawGoesToPieces Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 We cant be splashing £40m on a backup striker, we always seem to buy english players which have an overinflated price. We need a first choice new RM, CB & GK as a mininum then some smarter lower cost squad players to replace the likes of Wilson, Targett, Longstaff, Murphy etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
