Liam Delap signs new contract until 2026

[Mr. Wednesday]

Great news.

Although.........

Here's his game against Derby U21s, he sees red at 81 mins, about 2:35 into the video.

Make your own mind up. Petulance I would say.
That's not to say he doesn't have a healthy amount of aggression in his game, he certainly does.

He is undoubtedly talent but having watched him three or four times, there is arrogance and aggression in his game as well as not putting in a consistent shift. Maybe harsh to judge based on limited exposure but I thought he still had a lot of growing up to do before you could call him a first team prospect. Given he has just signed a new contract I may well be wrong.

We wouldn't have got £25M if he didn't sign that contract.

A contract doesn't mean you'll be good enough.

True. Hopefully things turn out differently this time.

True. Hopefully things turn out differently this time.

What hurt me more was the "official" announcement of Kelechi, Rony Lopes and Denayer being promoted to the first team at City Live only for Lopes to be sold and Denayer loaned out by the end of the month.

True but we got a good fee for him at least.

I liked him and thought Pep never really gave him much of a go tbh

He puts himself about a bit and isn’t beyond leaving a bit on any centre half who tries to dish it out

I believe Dublin GAA football team are looking for him on a loan.

Honestly. If that Derby 4-0 clip is where he’s getting his reputation from in here, we’ll I really didn’t see much in it tbh.

for years?!

You said the "worst that could happen"

For a young boy he has had some very serious injuries. Out for a very long time as a kid at Derby.

We wouldn't risk him in a premier league game , without some match time to prove his fitness. Not even on the bench.

It’s the best, but far from the only, example.

Maybe I’m being naive but what’s the worst that can happen if Pep started him tomorrow?

He couldn’t have a worse game than some of them from last week!

Even if Kane’s coming there’s no reason this lad can’t get some minutes tomorrow?
