Suppose the Maresca connection helped that.
From the outside looking in doesn’t seem the best choice does it, Chelsea are a still a bit of a basket case club. |  |

Marc Guiu in return on loan |  |

They've got a young squad and I don't think it's the worst place for him. They effectively had 2 separate squads this season one for the league and one for Europe. Th Maresca connection can't hurt either. |  | | |

Finished in the top 6 of the Premier League for 8 of the last 9 seasons and in the Champions league again next year. On paper looks a good move for someone who was on loan at Hull just a year ago. He'll get a monster pay rise and link back up with a manager he knows. Not to mention very good for his England prospects ahead of the World Cup.
I hope he gets a chance there, I think Nkunku will leave so Delap maybe takes that place as main competition to Jackson and should get opportunities. |  | | |

His performance against them in December was top draw, will have helped them reaffirm their interest.
I’m not convinced he’s a top 4 striker, but he has the tools and potential, if he really knuckles down and applies himself, he’s going to have to get every ounce of his ability out of him to play at that level.
Good luck to him, he’s been a surprise to me and he deserves the move, whether it’s the right club I’m not sure. I think united might have been the better move but there’s pluses and minuses to that move also. |  | | |

Can see them challenging for the title next season. And can see him starting most of the time there.
Of all the reported interest, reckon it’s his best option. |  |

Jackson is not very good so Delap should be challenging to start most games, so a good move for him | | | |

I think it's the best choice. They're in the CL, knows Maresca, they don't really have a star forward at the minute so should get plenty of game time. |  |

Think this is the perfect move for both us and Delap.
For Delap: Immediate chance to start, guaranteed second fiddle, will play European Football and will likely to get England chance.
For us: Club's whole model is based on player trading. Could be in a position where they need to sell and we could get a hefty windfall if we carry that 25% onto the next deal. | | | |

The only had 2 separate teams because of the European competition they were in. Next season it's going to be less like. If he's behind Jackson, I can't see him getting too many starts!
But.......Maybe he doesn't mind that for now. He is young. | | | |

Funniest thing is Man Utd fans claiming they've dodged a bullet with Delap not going there. Like they have a clue on transfers - the only successful transfers they've had in the last 24 months are Antony, Rashford and McTominay. |  | | |

He played with Cole Palmer coming through at City too.
I don't much like Chelsea but I hope he absolutely rips it up. He will too.
It's been great to watch him for a season. |  | | |

Classic football fan mindset. They would all be fawning over him if he chose them. | | | |

Mixed feelings on this.
I personally despise Chelsea for various reasons, mostly around money over the years
However out of the clubs that are playing in Europe next season they are probably the one that could offer him more of a chance to start.
Not sure it's going to be enough for me to start wanting them to do well, but I do thank him and wish him well. |  |

It makes me chuckle that in December their fans were quick to go on social media and call him a “diving cheat.” If they are right he should fit in better than expected! |  | | |

I don't really see them as a basket case. Regularly finish in the top 6, invested heavily in young players. Have a top manager and now the first club to win all the European trophies |  | | |

They don't really have a true No.9, so appears a club where he'll get significant game time and one where they've prioritised young talent too.
Champions League next season too, so certainly not many better choices out there given others being mentioned have established No.9s too. |  | | |

Seems to be mostly about the money to me. No surprise there then. Bench bound, never to be heard of again. |  |

While I wish Delap well I will continue to hope Chelsea lose every single match they play in between now and eternity. Cannot stand them. | | | |

Cole Palmer feeding Liam Delap is a pretty fearsome prospect. I think he’ll do really well there and be England’s no.9 in a year or two.
He’s been great for us this season and deserves a chance at a big club. Can’t say I love Chelsea, but they’re all the same really, aren’t they?
All went very quickly, but he was a lot of fun in a pretty crap season. |  | | |

They've hardly got a resounding reputation with the 40million players they've signed, most never heard of again.
He could have picked a better club frankly...or in your words FFS! | |

What do you get out of posting this nonsense, is it like a coping mechanism? He's gone to a club playing Champions League football that is going to need a large squad. He's a footballer, of course he's going to choose the option that gives him a chance to play in Europe, maybe get and England call up and maybe make a name for himself too.
Do you think Everton, Newcastle, ManU were going to offer him peanuts?
No need to get bitter about it. | | | |

Isn’t that his point? The others haven’t offered peanuts, but he’s picked Chelsea (so likely money made his mind up - is what the poster is saying - I think)
Could have gone to Everton on less money and played far more |  |

Must have missed Everton qualifying for Europe or being a title contender. It's clearly not all about the money. | | | |
