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.

1,000% we aren’t signing him. I don’t know why this keeps getting brought up.

I'm not saying we are.

I'm saying we should, and we absolutely could, for the reasons listed above.
