"If Chelsea do want Delap, they can pay us for the privilege."Angelino was brought back and was quickly found out.
To make the money we did on him twice was brilliant business.
Only works with those players who still feel wedded to the Club.
If Chelsea do want Delap, they can pay us for the privilege.
As ive said Ive no doubt abuot his techincal ability/talent.....Simons is an extremely talented young player mate, Gibbs White I agree with though, we could get Valera for probably less or Baena depending on system structure. Could only mean HG quota signing.
He would still only be a back up as he cant play with Haaland in the same team -- Icant imagine havign been a first team regular he would want to go back to that.City has a buyback option of £30m this Summer on Delap.
His actual current market price is probably £50m/£60m.
It make sense to trigger it regardless of whether we want to keep him or sell him on right away.
Wouldn't be surprised if Delap half fancies trying again here.
As ive said Ive no doubt abuot his techincal ability/talent.....
But as we have seen so many times...it aint about the talent - its about the mentality and he is already showing with constant changing of teams that maybe he cant cut it....

100% but why would the player let us make money and not him?
Angelino was never good enough , he was brought back to move on and make profit.
If he genuinely want to come back and fight for a place, all is good, but bringing him back to sell him on gives me an uneasy feeling ala Angelino.Player makes a load of money as well on both transactions to be fair as well.

He can become our main man when Haaland steps up to MadridHe would still only be a back up as he cant play with Haaland in the same team -- Icant imagine havign been a first team regular he would want to go back to that.
Yeah. of course....i just dont see it with him...however maybe the club can install that mentaltiy.....huge huge risk however....Well if it’s true that the club have been negotiating quietly for a year then they must be happy that he has the mentality to come in and fight to make a difference.
he is going to have to wait a long time then!He can become our main man when Haaland steps up to Madrid

Delap doesn't have a real say, certainly in terms of City trigger their recall option."If Chelsea do want Delap, they can pay us for the privilege."

Angelino was never good enough , he was brought back to move on and make profit and again for me it's not a good look.
Surely he doesn’t have to sign a contract that he doesn’t want.Delap doesn't have a real say, certainly in terms of City trigger their recall option.
He wouldn't be happy but that's business.
Surely he doesn't have to agree to rejoin City if he doesn't want to.Delap doesn't have a real say, certainly in terms of City trigger their recall option.

Does anyone know who this guy is? Says in his bio that he’s a former admin of @ManCityMEN, but can’t find a name or anything
Think Delap would get good opportunities here now and happy to play his part as a squad player too. Definately need another strikerA no brainer but I am not sure these type of deals are good for our reputation with players.
Angelino was another, we made money but for me it did us no favours.
Id actually prefer a Haaland backup just so Marmoush can continue playing off a striker, so he isnt so intently marked.
I understand be was partially bought to be Haalands backup, but if you design the team around this tall strength striker to do hold up play, then keep it consistent with his backup.
Its less confusing for the squad, sure, we could do false 9, but this team has lacked consistency because the profile of our squad keeos changing every week.
Either Delap, or some reasonably cheap older option, they dont need to be anywhere near Haaland good, just have the right profile to do the job.
I like Delap, because then if we desparately need a goal, we can go old school with 2 tall tough bastards up top, just as an option.
which is a huge trasnfer we are going to miss out on.....Wirtz is way more established and really fits our normal profile of player......Xavi Simons seems to be quite the opposite.Would seemingly mean no Wirtz either though
then it would be a pointless transfer - no point in having a player that doesnt want to be here.....Delap doesn't have a real say, certainly in terms of City trigger their recall option.
