Weren't Porto wanted close to €100 million for him? I think there's a lack of promising strikers on the market and why Ekitike, Sesko and Woltemade all went for massive money last summer.

Moose Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 I'm not necessarily saying that Delap would be a good or bad signing, but what I will say is that we really need to be a lot more creative than just paying the going rate for bog standard PL players, especially cartel cast offs. Of course there's every possibility that the rumour is bollocks, if not then it's a bit alarming Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ9 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 I’d have been happy with Delap instead of Wissa or Woltemade at the start of the season. Now I think it’s a risk and we’ve been stung by PL players. We need to look elsewhere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Pundit Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 44 minutes ago, duo said: The same Chelsea who should have a transfer ban Indeed. Plus, why on earth do Chelsea need yet another striker? Or is it their usual annoying bollocks off snapping up loads of players just to stop everyone else from having them and then ruin any potential they had?

Yeah they were asking 100m euro last summer. Ik sure his ACL injury means that price will have dropped this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing shows the divide between them and the rest of us more than the fact they signed Mudryk for £90m and probably quite sizeable wages to secure him ahead of Arsenal at the time. Turned out to be a massive flop and then he got suspended for Drugs for the past year. The fact no one even mentions it or cares that such an asset will have depreciated to such extremes shows the extent to which it doesn't impact them in the slightest. If we had done that we would be financially fucked. As we will if Wissa or Woltemade don't come good and make the grade or don't bring in decent money if we decide to sell in summer.

If the £50m price tag banded around is true for Delap, then absolutely he will be. I don't think a price has been suggested. Without putting a great deal of thought into it I suggested Chelsea would want that. I look forward to my fictional £50 million price tag being quoted authoritatively by some wannabe Romano on Twitter, the Internet is a marvelous thing no?

Mattoon Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Samu seems like the perfect storm for us this summer, we've expressed an interest and the injury means his stock will have fallen since last summer. It feels like the Isak situation again and I think this lad has all the attributes we need in raw form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Definitely enthused by those compilations of Delap just randomly going around decking people with wanton radgieness. A few after school sessions with Professor Linton and we'll have that aggression well refined. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
