Liam Delap - Ipswich player 2024-25

He has to be given every opportunity to develop in the first team now; he’s got all of the attributes to be ours - and even England’s - #9 for the next 15 years, and is the best striker to come through the academy since Sturridge.

Alvarez looks like an interesting acquisition, so moving forward with him, Delap and numerous false 9 options will be more interesting than buying a ready made option for big money.

I think Delap imo lacks enough involvement in the game.
I know he can score goals but pep requires more from his forwards, I just haven’t seen Delap get involved enough as yet but
 
City dont clear a pathway for anyone, nor should they. To make it at City you probably have to go through someone like Alvarez. We certainly signed a lot of attacking players as foden was coming up.

Still coming back from a bad injury that kept him out for over half the season, he has been just fine
 
Sent off for England u19s, 2 fairly clear yellows apparently. Guy will never make it at anywhere close to the top level nevermind here if he doesn't learn to control himself.

Doesn't sound great does it, lots of kids can be reckless early in their career to be fair but we won't know for certain for a few years, I'd still be surprised if he's not at least lower end Prem or a top Championship player, maybe a little too early to sure he defo attracts red cards but he's defo boisterous maybe he's just inexperienced... Liam needs to learn the dark arts the Kevin Davies type tricks of roughing up a defender and getting away with it by the letter of the law, he needs to become a shithouse windup merchant and control his aggression vent it in different ways, to make them react to him he could be the best at it a total nightmare due to his physicality, he should look at people who might be similar to Sergio Ramos and think you might be the shithouse mormally but I'm here to wind you up bigtime.

Shearer was also a master at it like Kevin Davies... although he was a master at everything when it came to being an old fashioned English centre forward, even if Delap drops off in the goals department he should at minimum always be a Kevin Davies type handful if he learns those tricks.

Liam just needs to focus on learning for now and reflects on his stupid bookings, if he gets to Balotelli levels of getting stupid cards all the time into his early 20s then he could go down the same path, never fulfilling his potential but here's to hoping he keeps his head screwed on and learns from his mistakes.
 
Not seen what's happend but from memory it's certainly not the first time he's been sent off, seems to have 'red mist' syndrome.
