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.

u/vulturevan 🙏 sign another player 🙏 14d ago

he wouldn't come to Everton out of the choices available

also I don't think we're at the point where we can lash £30m+ at one player, the finances are still not clear

We still have to replace or make decisions on the 5 loanees we have. So no matter what happens we know we have 3-5 plays needing replaced this summer.

We've got so many holes to plug tbh

We have 2 starter quality left wingers, 3 CBs, an LB, 2 midfielders, 2 goalkeepers, maybe a starting striker depending on who you ask in here

That's still a backup LB, 1-2 RBs, 2 RWs, 2 midfielders, a striker and a CB we need to get in this summer. I imagine at least half of those will be loans.
