Liam Delap - Ipswich player 2024-25

[Sibierskii]

Chuffin Stoke? I’d rather he went Barnsley

 

[BlueBanger]

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

I think he'll get it...they just got rid of vokes and tyreese Campbell is a versatile forward. Their striker options are not too good.

If we get guaranteed appearances into his contract it's a great move. He is nowhere near ready for us and the eds isn't a test for him, he desperately needs a loan, I'd rather it be to a side that will have a better chance of promotion but the guaranteed appearances will offset that nicely.

Agree,its a wonderful opportunity for the kid.He is 18 and will hopefully be playing regular football for an established,well run,Champ club looking for promotion.He will be playing alongside seasoned/hardened pro's where he will learn how to conduct himself as well as look after himself.

Brighton also sniffing around.

This would be a brilliant move for him

Surely has to be a better option than fucking Stoke .

Rumoured suitors:
Stoke
Middlesbrough
Preston
Anderlecht
Brighton

Where would be best for him?

Brighton, it's down on the seaside.

 

[oldhamblue]

Brighton created a load of chances last year but couldn't convert them. Would be a good move for Delap

 

[zandvoort blue]

It`ll be Stoke

 

[TonyM]

Pity he's not going to Brighton.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

It`ll be Stoke

looks like a poor decision to let him go there regarding the style of football he can expect to play in imo.

 

[Jack74]

Going Stoke on loan ?

Good luck to him , hope he scores bucketloads

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Brighton, it's down on the seaside.

So is Middlesbrough

 

[Citizen of Legoland]

So is Middlesbrough

The sea comes in at Preston too.

 

[Centurions]

So is Middlesbrough

Hmm, hard choice between Middlesbrough seaside and Brighton seaside isn't it.

Brighton seaside also has the undoubted advantage of being @kaz7 s hometown now ;)

I strangely think it doesn't matter too much. For me, he needs to improve his first touch and work on keeping his temper. If the supply he's getting is rubbish and he's going to get battered about by experienced centre-halves, he'll need to stay calm.

And any half decent passes he gets he can't be wasting.

At Stoke he could get this experience under less scrutiny than he'd get in the Premier League. I wouldn't expect him to score tons (double figures would be okay) but to come back a bit more grown up and wiser.

Appreciate your response, and accept the bit about learning to control his temper.Maybe a more physical type of football could be of benefit to him.
