Chelsea sources confirming that Delap on 17:28 - Jan 22 by Smoresy | One of the articles popped up on my feed today. Bryan King, now 77 and living in Norway, was interviewed by somebody and gave his opinion that Tottenham should target Delap. He speculated that we'd let him go for £50m. This provided the headline "Liam Delap to Tottenham: ‘£50m bid to be accepted’ amid ‘blockbuster’ news". Each to their own but that's my quota now met for the transfer window, outside this site's esteemed home page of course. Maybe the Chelsea one has more meat on its bones but I doubt it. |
Interesting, I haven’t seen that, maybe that’s where the figure came from then and the Chelsea lot decided to make a story out of it with their name in the headline? Wouldn’t surprise me 🤦♂️ slow news for them? |  | |  |

Chelsea sources confirming that Delap on 18:12 - Jan 22 by NeverSayDie | I am not ITK at all and don’t purport to be, simply mentioning something id seen, having been pointed towards it by a Chelsea supporting mate of mine earlier. It’s speculation, again, on Delap, we know Chelsea are keen and I thought it interesting that they are now quoting a figure of £50 million, either they made it up, or it has substance, no idea which is true 🤷♂️ |
Cool. Where are the links you were 'pointed towards' 🤷♂️ |  |

Chelsea sources confirming that Delap on 18:14 - Jan 22 by Keno | oh come on chelters MC will loan him to Al-Riaydh who will immediately loan him back to us so it is a PL loan bank and gets round having 2 loans from the same club |
If MC change his name by deed poll does that then get around the rules? I'm sure someone at Man City will know. |  |

Welcome to 24 hour news and the transfer window. You need to stop worrying. Chelsea have 32+ senior players and many more out on loan. The chances they come in with a big bid for Delap this window and we actually accept is very small. Everything 'could happen'. Logic suggests it won't. Delap is 9/1 to go to Chelsea on Sky Bet. If there was anything in it people in the know would have lumped on that and the price would move a lot lower. |  |

If they did, I'm sure the PL will come down hard on them and impose a 15 point deduction on Everton. |  |

Chelsea sources confirming that Delap on 17:58 - Jan 22 by NeverSayDie | If we could get Cunha, it would be immense and I’d do that swap in a heartbeat, but like you said, we most likely couldn’t. I don’t think it would be a great idea to sell Delap right now, especially having added a couple of players that could create a lot of chances for him and nobody in the building to replace him. |

Chelsea Chronicle regurgitating speculation from a random substack: https://substack.com/@siphillips978482? 27k followers to be fair but he's speculating: “Our sources say there has been contact all month and it continues – but Ipswich are still keen to hold onto Delap until the summer. It would take a big-ish offer for now (probably north of £50m), but it’s not impossible.” I would be surprised if every club in the Prem doesn't have 'contact' during the transfer windows. Especially a club like Chelsea who will likely have 6-10 players available for loan/sale with their current numbers and Jan targets they will bring in. |  |

Right utter crap then. Thats a fan site, written by fans, not journo's (imagine your post here being the headline on the news page and you've got it). They are quoting another fan, via his sub stack. To call these 'Chelsea sources' is like Brighton fans calling Frimmers an 'Ipswich source' |  |

In fairness, I did look at the site in a bit more detail and they point out that all their writers are “qualified journalists” as well as fans, so assumed they weren’t likely to be spouting nonsense. |  | |  |

Maybe. Mostly people are just competing for your time, personal data, advertising revenue and so on. There will be stories and podcasts on him until the window closes or he's sold, because of his performances for us. Honestly I've lost all interest in it tbh. 😅 Vacuous content IMO, but I don't want to p!ss on people's fun so will just avoid future Delap rumour stuff. |  | |  |
