Liam Delap | £16m bid from Southampton rejected

[waspish]

Hope we stick to our guns and don’t sell the lad and give him a loan!

Southampton are preparing a new £23m bid for Manchester City for 19-year-old Liam Delap. #SaintsFC #MCFC

I hope that £23 is a loan fee :)

 

[Semper aggressus]

£23m sounds decent to be fair, we should add a buy back clause though in case he ends up amazing.

How much did Brewster go for some 3 seasons back? Or the forever [seven]teen Bellingham?

 

[waspish]

The coach who went to Southampton must be telling them that Delap is the real deal the next Kane!

We mustn’t sell loan him

23m he got sold for delap is on a different planet to that fraud..

 

[Tb1981]

If Southampton are bidding they must have had some encouragement from the delap camp

 

[Keeper!]

Forest might be a good 12 month loan deal for all parties.

Not sure the ticktok new signing would be impressed.

I wonder if this has ever been done before.
A 2 year loan with the option to make it permanent at the end of the loan (for £23m) - but the option belongs to city not Southampton.
I.e. we can make them buy him at the end if we want to or call him back if not.
