Liam Delap

He only solves our homegrown/club trained quota and may be a back up to haaland which we may need. But we already have marmoush and possibly Rodrigo.

Only 30m

We are targeting the most expensive ones to fulfill the Hg spots where number shortage could arrive due to pure profit obsession

They will have a Delap and Palmer for 70m which would still be lower than MGw price
 
With Palmer, Lavia, Tosin, Sancho (if he stays, hopefully not) and now Delap. We'll soon have more City academy players in our team our own academy.
 
Don't like this move for him. Liked the idea of him waiting for Brentford and Palace to clear out their strikers and replace one of them at a bigger club where he can still grow his game. I think this is one step too far for him right now.

Money and fame. Who knows. He might get injured when playing for brentford or palace. I would move to Chelsea right away too. Even if it doesn’t work out he can go 1 lvl below to palace or brent .

I see the pros of getting him, and I do like him as a player. I had just hoped we would add some much needed experience to the squad, and going someone ready made like Osimhen would have been perfect as he strikes 2 birds with 1 stone - we get experience at the top level and a top striker.

Delap is more of a wait and see how he develops, and also how he handles playing for a big club. Jackson was a 'wait and see if he develops' signing 2 years ago and he's been decent, showed flashes of what he could potentially become, but he's still not the guy we can rely on for a consistent source of goals. Delap feels like another signing like that. There's every chance he only hits 10 goals next season and the message will rightly be, he needs time, he's young and inexperienced, and that's precisely why I think he isn't the striker we need.

A slip of the tongue?

Do you not think Chelsea should aim higher though?

With Gyokeres, Osimhen potentially being on the market. Delap seems like yet another player that is still developing. We have a lot of those 'need time and patience' players.

No I don’t think you should. Neither are proven in a good league whereas Delap is and has scored goals and looked good, align this with playing for Maresca and I think you’ll have a potential new Drogba.
 
I think he is a bit overrated. Decent striker in a relegated team
The only appeal is the price because it’s a release clause
Chelsea are a basket case of a club as well

Scores 1 in 3. Not bad for a youngster, but it remains to be seen whether he's going to improve on that. And for a top team, you need to be getting at least 1 in 2 these days. Definitely worth a punt, but not worth a 10 year contract on world class money.
