Liam Delap - Ipswich player 2024-25

Dad's in his ear if he's going there then. Dunno whether that's a good thing if he's a daddy's boy and won't go somewhere off his own back and test himself. On the flip side maybe his dad will have the manager's ear and he gets played regularly.

Saw something from his dad yesterday saying he doesn't really get in Liams career, and doesn't know what he'll.be doing this season.

Guaranteed playing time should be the only reason he goes to stoke

well he's first team coach there so I don't buy it. Just don't want him to end up a Leroy and making decisions based on other people's wants rather than what will be best for him as a player.
 
Yeah I don't buy the Stoke rumours.

Some might think it's logical because his dad is a coach there, but I think it makes it less likely, you don't want to go there BECAUSE your dad is there. It would feel akward, potential favouritism (even if it doesn't exist) might creep in.

And he also just turned 18, there is no rush imo for a loan. Why not keep him in the first team, have him train with them, give him the odd cup game, dead rubber champions league game and see how the season goes.

Then next season, when he will have just turned 19, if we can't increase his game time (for whatever reason, didn't progress as we wanted etc), then we can loan him.

It's also possible after the year, his stock might go higher, and we can get a premierleague loan like Chelsea just got for Gallagher.
