Liam Delap

Can he be any worse than what we have up front now.

Not a reason to give someone 100k a week

[brap2]

Wouldn’t mind seeing the ball somewhere in the vicinity of our strikers during a match

[Cods]

At Ipswich their team's scoring was focussed around him, had a greater reliance on him, and he was involved in a large proportion of their Goals and Assists. More than we placed on Barry and Beto.

Doesn't move the needle too far for us though I don't think, but a risk free loan with an option to buy wouldnt be bad for our options as he'd provide a difference. We've 3 positions in greater need though.

Barry - 8
Beto - 9
Delap - 2


Yes he can. Not saying he will be, but he most certainly can.

[AjaxAndy]

Apparently the club are happy with Barry and see Leipzig's interest as confirmation that we're on to something with him... So I just don't see us going after Delap if that's indeed true.

Most likely just a regurgitated rumour from last year given we desperately wanted to sign him then, but we have 2 strikers who outperformed him since then, and neither seem like they're leaving, meaning we have little need for Delap, nor the money to buy him anyway.

Are they really going to admit they made a mistake?

Well if we could get our money back by selling to Leipzig, and the club thought he was actually shit, then I doubt very much they'd keep him just to save face, and then continue to play him out of some weird pride issue.

Fair enough, not sure what they would be happy about though, scored a few goals but overall play has been poor. He phoned it in, in numerous games.

Compared to Delap who both phoned it in and also didn't score any goals - with the bonus of playing dirty and risking getting sent off.

Personally I think neither Barry or Beto are good enough to be leading the line for a club hoping to finish in the top half - but I also think both are still better than Delap.

All three are not good enough for where we want to be, but we seem to be in this hobsons choice of shit, crap and turd.

[TheRam]

Barry and Beto are fine.

Both had a decent record infront of goal last season.

I find it mad how people talk about Barry myself. He’s a good player imo

[Kerryblueboy]

Imagine how many goals they might get if they got proper service like overlapping full backs and a proper winger opposite ndayie

Who knows and its probably not true but imagine seeing a young player in training every day and needing random outside interest to confirm if hes any good or not

Barry is a brilliant finisher, just doesn't seem capable, or doesn't want to play as a target man.

If he could develop that side then he'd be a pretty damn good player, but whether he can learn to do the physical side is another matter.

Maybe just a shit Moyes striker, and there has been plenty.
