'Premier League managers are all aware of Delap Jr, with Southampton linked strongest, and it remains to be seen if Guardiola would be attracted by the romance of letting him have a spell in the Potteries. A strong start to the season in the top flight could even put him in contention for a World Cup spot.'
this might seem ridiculous but he's got so much ability if he went to Southampton & hit the ground running/scores goals he could just sneak in, not impossible
if he goes to the Championship then Burnley presumably favourites
if he neds up here somehow going to be exciting

I’m sure some Burnley fans will have us as favourites, with Rory being here. These things aren’t simple and he could well end up somewhere totally left field.

Have to be honest only seen him once, genuine question. Was kind of hoping he would play for Ireland but was never on the cards it seemed. Why would Burnley be favourites or have I missed something?

It'll be interesting to see if he gets a Prem move.
I'm sceptical. Would a lower-half team, probably in a relegation scrap, gamble on a player with no league starts?
His goal record at u23 level is unbelievable, but he is playing for a super dominant team.
He wasn't one that got on the bench at the end of the season, whereas Palmer and McAtee did, and they seem to have leapfrogged him in the Man City wonderkid hitlist.
Don't know whether that was fitness-related, but he got 90 minutes in their last 8 u23 games (scoring 7 goals!) without getting on the bench
He's definitely going to go somewhere with Haaland and Alavarez there, and I would definitely take him, but his stock seems to have fallen a bit.
He isn't even starting for the England u19s this summer, with Scarlett from Spurs (who admittedly is also rated) ahead of him

It would be absolutely awesome to see another Delap in the Stoke shirt so I really hope we can convince him to join on loan. I agree with the other posts above, I just can't see how a EPL team would risk putting their faith in Delap to keep them in the Prem so I think a Championship loan would be more suitable.
If not Delap then we should definitely be trying to loan other good youngsters from the top tier EPL teams.

What would be romantic about him coming to the Potteries and why would Guardiola even think about that? I don't see the romance in Liam coming here just because Rory was a success and works for the club...
