[TheHulk 2,604]

Underwhelming signing especially if another striker isn't brought in.

It depends on what will happen with NJ and whether we bring another CF

Let's wait until the end of the transfer window to draw our conclusions."

There is talk of Ipswich asking for Guiu on loan in the Delap deal

Excellent idea tbh

He is gone, hope Fartnacho doesn't come in his place.

Thanks Jadon. Conference league really was your level

In guardian article is said that Chelsea want a right winger and we could sell chalobah, disasi and badi to get some money and buy another defender

its not clear wether we will get another goalkeeper and no mention to another CF

It's the right decision in regards to Sancho if it's true.

There are still briefs flying about and constantly about a right footed left winger, I hope that is Nico Williams

Shame that we dont have interest on eze

There's good hold-up play and a range of finishes in this compilation. Realized he's right footed only when I watched the penalty he took. He's got a good left foot. Useful weapon and hopefully can play against low blocks and not just in transition

My record of predicting if strikers we sign turn out good, is like most of us patchy at best but Delap is like Palmer was before we signed him.small sample to test from but can see signs he has "it".we pretty much saw the good,bad and ugly of NJ last night. Delap offers us some similar attributes that good side of NJ does but better close control,better composure,finishing.

The more I watch him the more I think he could be really good here and even against low block he shouldn’t have too much issues as he’s physically imposing.. The right service around him he could score 15+ in the Premier League and in Europe where teams play a more gung-ho style could be very effective. Still wish we can get a Gyokeres/Sesko as well but that’s probably a pipe dream.

Doesn’t make sense unless Jackson is sold. And with Maresca and the club hierarchy in love with Jackson enough to say “I’d love a clone of Nico Jackson” and hand him a o year contract, there’s not a chance in hell we sell him.

Signing just Delap is already risky because he’s not the finished product. Signing Delap AND Ekitike who is also a development project would be silly.

Even with that they need to sell from what I've read

I feel like that's been the case for a while similar to Newcastle. CL saved the latter somewhat.

The sale of Rogers or Watkins would probably put them in an okay position.

Too old for our board.

For him to use his physicality to help against low blocks, I would like for Delap to add some headers to his game, because aerially he hasn't been the best. i.e someone who can consistently get on the end of the delicious crosses that either Palmer or James can feed.

Without the ability to head we might have to rely on him to instead create space for others to score, by occupying defenders.
