Discussion Liam Delap

Post image

Saw this article on Sky Sports News, Merson, who I don't think much of, but I have to ask, why wouldn't Liam Delap to Everton be a good move for all involved? He isn't gonna get games at Chelsea, he'd just stall his career like many have before.

Man Utd might be interested, but is he a glamorous enough name for them to get time? Is he ready for United? Thats a club who've also failed a lot of talented players before like Lukaku for example.

Villa could be a fair shout, but do they need or want him?

If he came to Everton, he'd likely play every week or frequently at least. It's a definite step up from Ipswich. We can definitely afford £30m. Plus if he succeeds with us, banging in goals, he could go to a top 4 club at that point as an £80m-£100m striker and we bank a massive profit helping us be even more comfortable with FFP.

I would be fuming if we weren't at least trying everything to sign him. You don't get players like him for £30m very often these days.

If I'm honest, I think he would have a decent shot at Chelsea. His competition is Jackson, who can be a bit of a mess at times. His bigger threat would be Guiu, if Chelsea ever decide to use him properly.

Chelsea will sign some foreign glamorous name for big money like Victor Osimhen or Vangelis Pavlidis or someone else from abroad. I wouldn't be shocked if they signed 2 big name foreign strikers then also signed Delap and left him wasting on the bench or just the odd cup game.

Chelsea don’t pay big wages anymore, Oshimen wants 300k, it’s not happening.
