Delap is an interesting one. He looked fairly average on loan in the EFL, but has looked the business for Ipswich; probably their one shining light this season. Looks like an old fashioned No.9 who is strong, has some pace and knows where the goal is. He's 8 years younger than Watkins and would probably cost half of what Sesko would (who is unproven outside of Austria/Germany)
Maybe the Adingra rumour is a lever to move Ipswich on a Clarke deal .3D chess going on with all clubs at this time of year. Would love to see on the inside of all this . Very complicated scenarios for all involved. If Watson doesnt want to be here he has to go, I'm more interested in why ,what got into him ..
I know I've posted this before but a journalist friend told me their 'cub reporters' join forums/ Facebook/etc to post rumours that they then report on if enough people bite ... ... looking at the state of social media I don't doubt it. I'm sure some of those 'Sunderland fans in uproar over KS/KLD' stories started off that way.
Burnley now in for N’Diaye. We are no longer looking at him now Liverpool has sanctioned Danns to come here
Sounds like Ipswich want another midfielder, if it's a winger I could see Clarke coning back but if it's a CM then no chance will Clarke be back
Funny feeling nobody is in for Ndiaye Watford were linked, that was de bunked, ours has now been de bunked and now all of a sudden Burnley linked this happened in the summer with him too
Delap will cost £40-50m now. I don’t see how he’s too dissimilar from Havertz if he was to be their 9 to be honest - I know Havertz isn’t a natural 9 like Delap but they’re both similar in terms of how they play, they can hold up the ball, their athleticism and physique etc both like to press and bully defenders but neither are really that clinical. Delap gets to run more because Ipswich are generally a counter attacking team but he wouldn’t get that luxury at Arsenal I think he’d end up just being Havertz 2.0.. Arsenal need a top class goalscorer who’s going to bag 25 goals.
He’s been on the right every time I’ve seen him with Mitoma on the left but apparently plays left too
Can you stay drinking on that beach for another 12 hours please. That would be mint crack. Hourly updates
