As others have said, it would be a mistake to sell. I think you could argue that he's further along in his development than Haaland in some areas and vice versa. Wouldn't be surprised to see him go on loan and light it up.

Out of interest in what areas do you think Delap is further along in development?As others have said, it would be a mistake to sell.

Just as we saw vs Club America- dropping deep and linking up play with the midfield/playing in tight spaces. It's my opinion that this is the big question mark surrounding Haaland right now.Out of interest in what areas do you think Delap is further along in development?

See absolute no point in selling him or loaning him especially with the 5 sub rule.

Fuck sake, man.
One is the greatest young striker in world football with an elite CL record and the other has barely any first team experience at all.
There are no real comparisons to be made.

Delap's hair is better!
I've made it no secret that I'm not as drunk on the Haaland juice as others. Still think he's a much bigger project than some are ready or willing to admit. As for his incredible CL GS record- I've never put as much stock into that as there's what, 4-5 elite teams in the entire comp?Fuck sake, man.

Think t
Think this is a very unlikely scenario. Just because Saunts don't create many chances.Can you imagine the scenes if we sold him or sent him on loan and he put scored Haaland
Press and rival fans would have an absolute field day

As I said. The greatest young striker in world football vs a kid with almost no first team experience. That’s the facts as it stands today.

Pleased the club turned down the deal. If we are going to play with an out and out striker it makes sense to have an additional back up as Alvarez is coming off a full season in Argentina, without any break, and Haaland we dont know how he will cope, injury wise, over a full season in the Premiership.
5 subs next season, absolutely no reason he should not get game time.
