He's a good player Delap, The one thing you'd say about him is he does give centre backs a really tough time, His hold up play is really good, I like that side to his game.
Not sure if he's cut out for a top team...Yet.
I think he'll move from Ipswich in a year or two and make the next step to a bigger club as in a Newcastle or Aston Villa...
I wouldn't be surprised to see Chelsea going in for him to be honest, They could do with a centre forward.

I disagree. If a player doesn't have the confidence in his ability to prove himself at City, then he's not for us. Pep has proven time & time again he'll opt for the best player in that position. We only have to look at Cancelo, Laporte & currently Grealish.Yes, but it's exactly the same problem with Rodri and Haaland, to get a player good enough to play when they aren't available,but also good enough and versatileenough to play with them when they are available.
In the case of Haaland from what others are saying Marmoush sounds like he could be that. I wouldn't know never seen him play.
Rodri has proved we desperately need a Haaland backup, before he gets rinsed out too.

It's a big issue isn't it, We've seen with Alavrez he's not happy to play second fiddle to Haaland and didn't want to be playing out of position which is completely understandable that he wanted to move on.I disagree.

We'll struggle to get another striker because they'll be doing with Alvarez was doing and that's mainly playing out position, Personally I think our best bet is to find that player who can play anywhere along the front line.
We were linked with Kyogo from Celtic last summer, He's not someone who everyone wanted although he's the type of player who can play that role, Whether he's good enough is another thing, It's a problem that we do need to solve so we can rest Haaland.

Alvarez has scored 5 in La Liga & 4 in the CL, with 2 assists. He's young & it's his first season in Spain, but sometimes the grass isn't always greener...It's a big issue isn't it, We've seen with Alavrez he's not happy to play second fiddle to Haaland and didn't want to be playing out of position which is completely understandable that he wanted to move on.

He's getting roughly a goal every 2 matches and Athletico are right up there in this years La Liga.Alvarez has scored 5 in La Liga & 4 in the CL, with 2 assists. He's young & it's his first season in Spain, but sometimes the grass isn't always greener...
For him, that grass looks fairly green.

He's roughly 1 in 4 in La Liga, with 5 goals in 19 matches & 2 assists. Not exactly tearing it up in a 3 team league.He's getting roughly a goal every 2 matches and Athletico are right up there in this years La Liga.

Definitely need a back-up for Big Erl. He could easily get injured or suspended.
Would forget Delap as he is now accustomed to being the centre forward for his club.
I would take a punt on Semenyo from Bournemouth.
He is strong, fast and mobile, perhaps even playing off Haarland if required.
Perhaps give Bournemouth a sweetener with selling Academy player(s) ?

Alvarez is utterly knackered. He’s not had a break in years.He's getting roughly a goal every 2 matches and Athletico are right up there in this years La Liga.

Definitely not, It's just tough trying to find another striker that's happy enough to sit on the bench most weeks.Alvarez has scored 5 in La Liga & 4 in the CL, with 2 assists. He's young & it's his first season in Spain, but sometimes the grass isn't always greener...
Hopefully something happens in this window.
