Delap definitely should not be looking at Man Utd or Spurs after what we saw last night. Two shockingly bad sides that produce zero service for their forwards. He’d be better off staying with Town if he enjoys scoring goals. He’ll be the next Kalvin Phillips or Jack Grealish if he goes to Man Utd. Ruined.
I know we want to keep him but if he has to go who would you choose for him ?
Personally I would say Newcastle or Chelsea. He needs service and he’d get it at both of those clubs. Liverpool is another but not so sure he’d get as much playing time there. |  | | |  |

Definitely not Chelsea. He needs to go somewhere where he will get game time, where he will see minutes on the pitch not staring from the bench. Newcastle have an established forward, and unless he leaves he will be behind in the pecking order.
As mad as a club that they are Man United might have been a good spot for him. Will get game time, he can progress to a bigger clubs, however losing last night will probably make Delap think again.
As much as I'd love him to stay, it does feel like he needs to make this move now else his career could stagnate. His second half of the season wasn't as strong as his first, and if he wants to cash in so to speak it's best do it now. An average season in the Championship is a massive risk for him I'd say.
Personally I'd like him to go to a Villa or Forrest type club, European football and also a chance to play more. Of course it's hard at those clubs as well as they have an established starters, but it just feels like he will get his chance there. [Post edited 22 May 12:46]

I would advise him to steer well clear of Chelsea.
Newcastle or Forest would be a good fit.
I think at Newcastle he would share game time with Isak, and could probably play in other forward positions which isnt a bad thing. [Post edited 22 May 12:41]

Agree 100%, Chelsea I feel would be a huge step up at this stage of his career.
United and Spurs are clubs who are in embarrassing positions and with no real progress in the past Two to Three seasons. A Europa League trophy masks a poor season at Tottenham.
Under Howe at Newcastle, he’d flourish, gain Champions league experience and be coached by potentially the next England manager. |  | | |

I'd be going to Newcastle or Palace.
Palace, smaller squad with European football.
Newcastle as Isak will go and Callum Wilson is ageing in footballing terms. |  | | |

If he does go, and I dont think it will be good for his development if he does, then I hope he makes up his mind quickly.
We need to know sooner rather than later. |  | | |

It will annoy me on principal if he goes to Forest, just because they are basically the same club as us but survived and then kicked on in the PL. It looks a decent fit though. |  | | |

I wish Delap well in his move wherever that may turn out to be. But my thoughts are, hes unlikely to be first choice striker wherever he goes. He's so raw in his current t skill set. That's not to say this won't improve of course. I'd also say that it wouldn't surprise me if he ends up being played wide right, because I'm not convinced he has the attributes to lead a forward line, link up and hold up play. Again that's not to say this can't be coached, but that all takes time. I've said the same has someone else on here, that he should give real consideration to stating at Town, getting another full season under hus belt and honing those skills further. He is only humble view unlikely to displace any current PL or England striker. It's really early in his career and the euphoria surrounding him seems disproportionate to where he actually is in his development. He's done little for us as a number 9 since the turn of the year because defences have adapted to his current levels and hes not adjusted accordingly ( be based those skills aren't there yet).
He would actually have had far more support in his game had McKenna played Hirst at number 9 and Delap wide right. Time will tell I guess. |  |

He was at Everton’s new gaff yesterday, apparently.
I think that’s the perfect fit for him.
A manager who likes that style of frontman.
Regular starts.
A new era at the club.
Instant legend. |  |

He’s not staying here. He’s been one of the most talked about young breakthrough players of the season. His agent will be pushing for whichever club makes the most money for agent/player. I’m not convinced he’s ready for a Man U, but couldn’t really give a monkey’s where he goes. We’ll move on. It’s not like he’s been phenomenally influential for us like someone such as Stewart was. |  |

Them or Newcastle I'd say, |  | | |

Everyone saying he shouldn't go to United etc. I don't see it that way at all. I understand the reasons but for me it shows he would back himself to be a difference maker. It's not the money because he would get just as much at Chelsea or Newcastle etc.
Man United are not going to be stuck fightingvrelegstion every season Next season is a proper reset for them. Massive financial loss for them not winning the cup but they have no distractions in the league and Amorim will build a team that fits the system he wants to play and Delap would suit it.
If we have a sell on it will be a shame as he might never leave if it goes well...vs a Forest etc.
United win last night with Delap. Rasmu H was so ineffective and should have buried the header. | |

He seems like a lovely lad and we once all wish him the best wherever he ends up, but for Town, cynically, surely the best outcome is him moving to a mid-table Prem team; him kicking on, then stepping up the ladder again for double or triple the money and us making a few extra bob out of giving him his chance this season, rather than him going directly to a top 6 side. |  | | |

Your last point I just don't get and you're not the only.one I've seen suggest it. We've had the hottest young English striker in years and you think he'd do better playing right wing. Why?
He was signed as a striker and is wanted by just about every team in the Prem to play as a striker!
This by no means a slight on Hirst but Delap is a cut above him, but that said I would have liked us to try the pair of them together occasionally, especially when we're chasing the game. |  | | |

Just depends on the clauses in the deal doesn’t it? He could potentially go to a top team and have more significant performance-based clauses. Swings and roundabouts and all that. | |

The only couple of things that go against Everton is that they didn’t qualify for European football and are no where near to that level.
Saying that, he would be a regular starter there and if does well there it could be a good stepping stone to a much bigger club. |  | | |

Apparently I ited have a £100 million budget to spend which will get them two mediocre premier standard players or one half decent player. If they go for foreign players they could get three or four quality players. Not sure they would be wanting to spend £30 on Delap. | | | |

Not until the moment he leaves us, would be amazed if he did.
Everton would be logical next step up and could then move to a top six club in 2/3 years time and not far from Manchester where I believe he wants to go back to? | | | |
