Good weekend for the Delap lads with Finn scoring for Mickleover as well

Hull look like a side who know what they're doing and going places under Rosenior. Made some good signings
Delap is ok at this level, let's not pretend he's one we lot go by mistake like so many players who leave.

It would've been a great story for the romantics if he'd succeeded here, I just think it was a case of right player, right club, wrong time.

Glad to see he is doing well. All the best to the Delap family too, hopefully we’ll see another Delap at Stoke one day.

Soft. Keeper should’ve pushed that away Control and run in the build-up were excellent though Yep, but the shot looked like it took a deflection. Probobaly was on it's way over the bar

Another good goal from him. Fast to pounce on the mistake. Rounded the keeper and finished well. All the funnier that it was Rooney's first game in charge of Brum too! Brum v Hull Highlights

If I see anyone say we wrote him off too early I will scream.
He was awful for us and as an entity for us he should have been written off.
The step up was clearly too soon for him as he never got going at Preston either.
Good on him though for taking what could have been a massive step back and coming back from it this season. Shows he’s got the right mentality.

If the price is right in the next few windows, it might be worth bringing him home before he hits the heights I am sure he is capable of, and before the transfer fee gets too high!

I think if he keeps scoring he will get a PL move. I'm not quite sure people realise how highly rated he is within the game and scoring semi regularly in the Championship will only boost that. He will go for 15-20m this summer if he carries this on.

Delap isn't coming back whilst Neil is manager, and I'd be surprised if he ever did anyway.

Being at Man City, it’s not like they need to sell either. They’ll probably ramp up his loan fee a few more times then sell when he’s about 25 and has still played less than a dozen games for them. Of course, he could also just go back to being crap.

Incidentally Billie Jean scored for Hull as well last night!
Delap has scored 4 for Hull this season, and Philogene 2.

Hull seems to be utilising his power and pace in behind far me than we did.
We ridiculously seemed to use him as a target man which didn’t suit him or the team

He hasn't shown what all the fuss about him is, scored a few this season but still looks raw and naive, he isn't blessed with pace and still looks to back into his marker instead of going for the ball. He has potential but that can be said of a lot of players, he has yet to show much sign of fulfilling the hype yet alone the potential.

Hull are using him far more “off the shoulder” and he’s looking better as a result.

Really highly rated, young English striker at a club that gets good money. He had an ok season but that was enough, that was all that was needed. Mad money though.

If he scores the goals to keep them up it will be money well spent. Until we see how he does for them it's hard to say.

What an odd take...
Yes the fee is massive but when you are paying for huge potential, it is what it is.
Let's just remember that Harry Kane went on 4 loans with far worse stats than Delap, until he was 21.
Ipswich could very well be the ones who end up laughing.

Good for him. He’ll be at least a championship standard player. He’s early 20s and looks ready enough for this league by now. Will likely develop further. Probably a decent investment for teams that get promoted and can afford it.
