Dream scenario for me would’ve been if he was fit enough to play today … Pep selects him to start, he bags a couple of goals, and off we go…!I will say, it's a long shot, but i'm super interested to see how Delap does.
He could get a chance at some point and just hit the ground running and start scoring bags of goals.
Would love for us to really need a striker, had teams be like "150m please" and then we just bring a monster through the academy, would be unreal to see.

Hahaha.No hindsight at all.....Ings would have been a very good signing,as many of us said while others were mocking such..
Another idea,and where hindsight is relevant,would have been to keep Nmecha until an outcome/solution was determined.

It’s either Pep’s way or he’s off, he needs 100% backing in his vision, so on that you have to say he’s done almost all he was supposed to do being brought in as manager.
Apart from overthinking the CL final that is.
The crazy prices for strikers means that we would have to upset our wage structure and team dynamics to accommodate player egos, and the egos of their even more egotistical agents who demand ludicrous fees & salaries, Pep / Board obviously thought this was too much of a gamble.
Pep obviously likes the death from a thousand cuts, rather than the rapier thrust or head lopper style of play, which has served us very, very, well for the most part.
we need a striker, who is going to be that man? will he even come from within our ranks? Can Torres kick on, can Delap step up? Will Sterling regain his fire & accuracy that saw him bag 30 not so long ago? Will we sign someone before the deadline? And is there a Dzêko clone out there waiting to be discovere?

Donald Trump? Oh wait he can't even close an umbrella..Joe Biden? Well almost.
I'd try for Adam Hlozek. From a lower league but is one of the best u19 forwards in the world. Really good finisher already for his age. Would thrive in Pep's system with his combination of movement, creation and finishing.

Nowhere near ready. One for the future but not for now.I'd try for Adam Hlozek. From a lower league but is one of the best u19 forwards in the world. Really good finisher already for his age. Would thrive in Pep's system with his combination of movement, creation and finishing.
