Is it totally unrealistic to think he might come on loan, and second, is he better than our current youth strikers?

If we had Delap he would have played 20 games in the Championship already. Or should have done.
Lewis Bate would be a good one to get on loan too.
Brilliant on the ball.

Tommy Doyle another one who would improve our midfield.

It’s weird that Rory has distanced himself, unless he doesn’t want people to think Liam has rode on his coattails? Just thinks he wants to form his own path. And people in general won’t think that. The commentators in this game were taking the piss how much better Liam is than Rory already.

Can't see why Man City would let him go? Unless they're offering him football?

Wouldn't be surprised to see him go to Dorton though if Man City want Haaland

Unless they don’t plan on using him in the next two years and want to cash in? But they need homegrown players and he is class so I just don’t think it’ll happen. Is it a coincidence it’s come out on the same day Aguero has been announced as leaving? Sharpen the minds of those at Man City to play him?

That might be just to keep him sweet and not have him wanting out if they do come sniffing this summer, he will be on loan to a champ team next season (probably not us though)

For those two to only be Jesus and Delap seems a big call. Hard to see them not pulling the trigger on a Haaland/Kane, in which case Delap is getting very few minutes (possibly even less than this season given Aguero has been out for a good chunk of it, and that hasn’t afforded him any opportunities).

He can bring Tommy Doyle with him next season.
Davies
Nozzer Collins Souttar Smith
Mikel/New experienced CM Doyle
Campbell Powell Clarke
Delap
We’d walk the league. If only hey!

Can't see him getting a regular spot in their team with virtually no top flight experience. He needs a year in the Championship to toughen up so go get him MoN!

If we have a realistic chance of him coming here on a loan spell we should be first in the queue & chomping at the bit to get him in regardless of family connections, (if anything that should work in our favour!).. If any other Champo team nab him then it'll be to our disadvantage. He's proven already that he's a genuine goalscorer & I've no doubts that he'll score goals into double figures at whichever club he ends up at. 🤞🏻 if he goes on loan it'll be to us.

Why would he want a permanent move to a dull and dreary Madrid, when he can get himself a loan move to sunny Stoke??? 🤔

100% we should be doing everything we can to nab him. Let’s hope both Delaps want this to happen.
Has anyone ever found an actual quote of either of them saying they won’t work together? I could have swore blind I have seen it somewhere but not sure if it’s just been said on here and I’m remembering wrong.

Have we ever loaned or even signed a player from Man City in the last 10 years? I cant remember anybody which is surprising given Hughes was manager of both clubs.
I worry we dont have any strong connections which is what it often comes down to. Apart from the obvious father-son link of course.
I have a feeling that Pep being the purist that he is wont want Delap coming to a hoofball team like Stoke.
To be honest Delap is not Pep's type of player at all. He hardly ever signs strikers and seems to despise the big targetman kind. Im surprised that Man City are in for Haaland given the way Guardiola likes to play
