Funny enough, I’d say Newcastle too.
He’d be Shearer the second up there in a couple of years |  |

Yeah, I agree with both of those.
I think he needs a club that will develop him, rather than a bigger club expecting the finished article. |  |

Forest would be a good fit for him. He's an obvious successor to Wood |  |

Is it a "Being John Malkovich" situation? In which case
"Liam, lad, you'll never find a better club than Ipswich. Kieran McKenna is the best coach in world football. I reckon you should sign a new contract quick smart before they change their mind about you..." |  |

If Watkins leaves Villa, I can definitely see them being interested. 3 goals against them this season and some of his best play in them fixtures, won't have gone unnoticed by Emery |  |

He'd be back up to Isak at Newcastle, unless Isak gets a move to a bigger club
As things currently stand, before any potential transfer movement is taken into account, i'd say maybe Everton where he'd go straight in as their starting striker [Post edited 13 May 12:57]

Man Utd (if they get champions league) or Liverpool. |  |

I'd avoid Utd, they need a wholesale clearout and that can't be done due to so many players on huge contracts, and the fact they don't have any money, as most of it went on Ten Haag.
That clubs needs a complete rebuild, and I'm not sure the owners have the right vision. Look at Lyon since INEOS diluted shares.
If I was Delap, I'd be looking at Newcastle, great club, on the up, new stadium, decent manager, stability. |  |

I'm slightly surprised that Brighton haven't been mentioned yet, given the similarities between the two clubs. I think he would do best at a club where he doesn't have the pressure of being the clear #1 striker or the reduced playing time of being the clear #2 striker.
Brighton, Forest, Brentford seem like the clubs that fit that bill best. Maybe even Spurs, if Levy is prepared to get his chequebook out! | | | |

I'd advise Newcastle also. Such a history of number nines. Great crowd to play for. Would be understudy for Isak, first year and take the main role if Isaak departs which is a strong possibility. Howe would be a good coach for him, sensible and methodical like McKenna. | | | |

He needs to go to a club where he’ll play every week. He won’t learn anything shining his rear end on the car seats in the dugout.
Villa, if Watkins goes and yes, he’s far too good for the Championship. Hutchinson needs to be playing Premier League too. |  | | |

i think Man United might suit him, if he's going to play games.
I don't think he's a top 4 level player atm but United surely will be better next year. |  | | |

I can imagine Levy will be very interested, if only that he can see £30m is way undervalued.
Half-decent season he can double his money (at least) and solve a few of Spurs PSR issues at the same time.
But for Delap, Newcastle looks the best option but that would all depend on not playing second fiddle to Isak. Although, then replacing Isak might be too much pressure in one hit? |  | | |

I don't understand Newcastle as he'd be a backup to Isak, perhaps if they fail to qualify for the CL he'd get sold but it looks like they will so I can't see them selling him.
I did think West Ham as he has similarities to Antonio who's been successful there for a long time, but I don't know if they play different under Potter. However he would do well for Everton, albeit as well as any striker can in a Moyes team.
He'd play for Man Utd but is he ready for the pressure that playing for them brings?
I can't see his style suiting Chelsea or Arsenal and I'd think Tottenham would have a new manager next season so who knows with them. Villa might not be a bad option |  |

Surprised how many are saying Newcastle. He'd be nothing more than a back up to Isak there for at least another year.
If I were him I'd go somewhere where I'm guaranteed the no.9 shirt and starting every week.
Everton would actually be a good move for him. Not the huge transfer option he could take but it's a move that would allow him to continue progressing for a year or two before being ready to join a top 6 side.
At the moment, I think he's far from the finished article and a top 6 move could hinder his progression. |  |

O doubt he'd play every week.gir any of the PL clubs. He's still very raw atm and will get back up which is why I'm saying he'd be better off staying with us another year. Get promoted then he's back in the PL still top dog striker. |  |

Everton only started scoring goals this season once Moyes came in. Beto being a great example
Moyes also arguably got the best out of Antonio at West Ham and Lukaku at Everton to name just a couple
Genuinely think he'd be a good fit for a Moyes side that can be quick on the transition and also quite physical.
Definitely think Delap is capable of being a regular starter in the premier league and going in to a Villa or Newcastle where he'll be second choice is not the best option for him | | | |

I tend to agree. Although he’s been good for us, he blows hot and cold and still has some development to do. Everton would be a good shout. Bournemouth, Wolves  and West Ham aren’t exactly stacked for goal scorers either.
Although there’s also an argument that going to a big club and working with a player of Isak’s quality may help him improve his game quicker even if he’s sharing pitch time.
Who knows. As long as we get a good whack for him so we can strengthen the team and/or help us with our PSR position it’s neither here nor there. |  |

I'd tell him to wait to see what happens on the manager merry go round and if KM ends up at Man U or Spurs then go there, he had the foresight and faith to trust you as a premier player and will continue to back you at a club more established in the top flight! |  |

Man United are after Cunha as well as Delap. | | | |
