Delap is a good striker imo

Stats wise he’s not really that great. He’s 23 and in 3 seasons in the Championship he scored 3, 1 and 8 times across those seasons and his PL record is 12 for Ipswich and 1 for Chelsea. Ipswich at the moment is more of the outlier.

I don’t think he’s terrible, he’ll work hard and press…although on the downside on the pitch his behaviour at times would likely get him more red cards than he got at Chelsea. If we were paying the ‘Ipswich release clause then amount, he’s probably worth the chance but I’d not be willing to pay the Chelsea tax on top of that when they’ve done nothing to improve him. Arguably if anything they’ve shown there is more of a risk to buying him given another season with a lack of goals and unreliable fitness too.

I’m a no at Delap too, regardless of price, if he’s not worth £40m with his scoring record then he’s not worth 30 or even 20, he’s either the answer or he’s not regardless. I’d rather keep the money for someone with a better track record.

Think he’ll be alright at us tbh delap. We’re full of shite anyway might as well have one who can run and twat the ball

I sort of agree with this, mostly, but I just see him costing too big a chunk of our transfer kitty.

I’d take a chance on him, he could be ok, but not at the expense of not filling some of the other glaring holes we have.

Hope that's not going to be a goal celebration!

Hope that's not going to be a goal celebration!

I hope to see it 30 times this season. Ahem...

I wouldn’t worry about that being a goal celebration as all three players will probably be sitting on the bench.

That was the most boring white man 'dance' I've ever seen.

Can people on here stop writing off the dance before we have even seen it live.

If that's his goal celebration he'll forget it by the time he scores again.

A shit dance in a video doesn't suddenly improve because it's live. You watch us don't you? Just my opinion

As a boring white man who can still dance better than that - how dare you!
