Liam Delap - Ipswich player 2024-25

If we do end up buying Kane, then Delap is a perfect understudy to him.

Going on loan is great in theory, but I'm always of the mind that you do that with your "lesser" talented players, any player who thr club truly wants to integrate, it's better off bringing them in for a year and see how it goes.

He's young enough that it's worth it for both him and City to see how he carries on, if he's not ready, it's not a waste of a year, he would have still gotten alot out of it, and you can then loan him out.

Didn't do Kane himself any harm going out on loan.
 
If Kane does come I'd keep him here and in (without sounding raggy) the games we've won by HT I'd pull Harry and give him a regular 30 mins.

If we get someone else I'd do the loan option as our play wouldn't necessarily suit him at the moment.
 
Does anyone know if the PL is sticking with the 9 subs next season? Or are they reverting back to 7. If it’s back to 7 then I reckon a loan would be best as he’ll be struggling to make the bench unless we have a massive injury crisis.

Chelsea prove the loan system is a brilliant tool.

Or do you disagree?

I said they haven't had anyone as talented as Foden to bring through, so the "less talented" players benefitted from the loan system. Which is what he said.
The closest they have is Hudson-Odoi, who has not gone out on loan.
Mount, Tomori, Abraham, James and Christensen all went out on loan, none as talented as Foden, and half will be gone in a year.

This also ignores the hundreds of failed Chelsea loanees (Baker, Loftus-Cheek, Miazga, Piazon, Sinclair, Kakuta, Dasilva, Kenedy, Chalobah, Grant, Nathan, Nartey, Maddox, Brown, Cork, Solanke, Colkett, McEachran, Scott, Kalas, Aina, Boga, Mellis, Musonda) and the fact Chelsea would never have given some of their young players any chances if it wasn't for their transfer ban.

If Chelsea had someone as good as Foden then they would be able to bring them through without any loans.
They tried with Hudson-Odoi but he's not as good as Foden.

This is the Delap thread though,and James and Mount were/are of an equal standard,if not better.The loan system improved them immeasurably,and now sees them in the first team in a CL winning side.That probably would not have happened otherwise,and it will be the same with our kids if they stay at City with no meaningful playing time.

Well I guess that is the debate.

I’m not saying Delap should or shouldn’t go out on loan. I’m not convinced he’s Foden’s level but if he could get 1000 minutes at City that would be better than 2000 in the Championship.

I would love him to stay around the first team but I’m not sure he’s good enough yet to demand the minutes he needs at City.
