Looking at their crowd the other night, it looks as though 90% of their fans have already goneClubs in the Europa League in Germany, Spain and France wanted him for a year. Guaranteed game time probably the clincher
But Stoke are seriously shit and I’d put decent money on O’Neill being sacked by Christmas. Parachute money has run out and half their fans already want him gone

Burnley pumping out 70%+ possession games vs low blocks but struggling to score. Why is he at Stoke. Our loan decisions are almost always terrible.

I think that Liam is the type of player that could thrive with any playing style unlike say McAtee who needs a team that plays "good" football.
I just hope that he manages to avoid injury and keeps his head whilst on the pitch. I think maybe having his dad as a coach will help him with the latter.

Never thought I'd be watching Burnley, Sheffield or Stoke of all teams, especially when City is not involved :)

Slight comfort zone on the back of a 12 month confidence hit mainly.dont get this move for the lad but good luck to him
I'm not as down on the move having thought about it more,and its certainly far better than stagnation in the EDS.
I think it is a good move for Delap. [And the others who have moved recently].
The fact that EDS is now 21 years not 23 suggests we had too many players.
The younger lads playing in the EDS last year, Delap, McAtee, Palmer etc don't need more second team football, they need senior football. To assess their development and potential, the club need to see them in competitive action, so Championship football should give both City and the player the right game time and opportunity to take the next step.
Game time for these lads will be limited in the first team this year, and in theory playing against less experienced players in PL2 will not help them grow.
