Was Delap Originally brought in for the Burns Role? on 11:27 - Jan 26 by NthQldITFC
He's the perfect hard-working battering ram of a number 9, with additional skills thrown in - exactly what KMc wants up there. Why anybody persists with this wide right crap is beyond me.
Exhibit A, M'lord - shame he didn't have a No.9 to cut the ball back to at the end of this run [Edit: For some reason, think this video doesn't recognise the time marker, so it's from 3 Minutes 54 seconds...]

How about we put him in goal, big lad and good passing range? Delap was brought here as a 9, he's arguably the English number 9 with the most potential in the country, he's doing a great job, we have half a dozen 10s.
I just find this thread completely weird, it's like everyone is missing the obvious. Delap is pretty good at where he plays right now,
Chill out mate, it's just a discussion.
It's ok to disagree.
We are not winning and he's not scoring goals from open play. It's ok to discuss things like that in a forum. 😃😃

You find this thread completely weird - yet you seem to have an odd compulsion to engage with it.
You disagree, that's cool. Good for you.

Of course I'm likely to engage with it if I have an opinion that differs and I truly believe that playing a critical player out of position is wrong, daft, weird or whatever.

KM has said ideally he wants 3 number 9's so I don't think your hypothesis is correct.
I don't understand why people are continually trying to push Delap out wide. He played there when he was younger but certainly not with the level of success he's got this season playing in the 9. KM has always started him as a 9 even in the friendlies so I think he was always bought for this position.
Delap isn't the issue, the issue is getting the ball to him with people around him supporting so he doesn't have to do it all himself and has options.
I simply don't understand the continuing efforts to move someone described as the best young number 9 in the PL out wide.

It was a question dude, chill. I wouldn't swap him

It's not terribly out of position - he's played on the right wing before. With the injuries to Ogbene and Burns, Johnson suiting a RB or RWB role better, and Hutch struggling slightly, it's understandable people are talking about it.
The issue is, if we move him out there, we only have Hirst to cover up front.
No, I don't think there's ever been any suggestion that that was the case. Re the Greek lad, Fotis Ioannidis, we targeted him before we moved for Delap.
