Liam Delap

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

Another City player being written off a year after he scored 11 goals and produced 10 assists in Spain at age 20

Yes but at just 21 he should be the finished article and ripping these ten man defences apart. Get shut, he’s crap.
And whilst we’re at it, get that Doku and Foden and Lewis and Nunes and Kovacic and Ake and Dias and another couple of dozen fucked off as well.

Different set up althogether. Savinho showed plenty of potential in La Liga where he helped Girona to a Champions League spot. Doku got recommended by KDB.

Unless they improve dramatically for us next season both will be gone.

Bowen isn’t who I would suggest at all for us, but he has delivered in the prem for a good few years now and Doku in two seasons and Savinho haven’t.

 

[oldius]

I imagine that professional footballers who have played against Doku are laughing at this thread.

Still doesn't make the Bowen the better option.

Villa didn't think so.

Could you name their potential replacements? I don’t see any wingers with their skillset available. Maybe I missed some

no but what I will say is that Sane, Sterling, Mahrez, and Foden was and are in some cases a million times better than Doku and Savinho. Maybe they would improve against teams that leave you space but teams don't do that against City

The old system of Foden and Silva out wide works best. Pep used it in the last few games and the wingers on the bench

Nope, but that isn’t the point.That facts are they both have massively under performed for City so far. Fingers crossed they come good, but they have a long way to go.

A million times better ?

 

[Citizen Mike]

A million times better ?

maybe a slight over exaggeration ; -)

 

[ancoats]

A million times better ?

Doku is the better of the 2, Savinho is a joke at times, when he pulls up because he feels he's been fouled, I hate,
Pep should have knocked that on the head the first time he did it

I think we missed a trick in not triggering his buy back clause to sell on to the highest bidder.

Chelsea have completed the signing of striker Liam Delap from Ipswich Town for a £30m fee

 

[nu774ll]

We get another £6m in the bank for the deal too

I was thinking the same. Is there a rule that stops one player being transferred twice in the same window?

 

[Xhavenjoe]

We get another £6m in the bank for the deal too

Only getting £2m according to reports

"The Blues also inserted a 20 per cent sell-on fee into the transfer on any profit made by Ipswich. Should the forward complete his £30million move to Chelsea then City will bank £2m"

 

[Xhavenjoe]

I think we missed a trick in not triggering his buy back clause to sell on to the highest bidder.

There is no way we would do that.
I suppose technically you can but clubs would just stop agreeing to this.

 

[Oyster28catcher]

Any other ex-EDS players that Chelsea want?
