Chelsea ask Liam Delap to snub England U21s for Club World Cup 11:54 - Jun 1 with 2196 viewsJeremiahBrown

It is also mentioned further down this page https://www.thechelseachronicle.com/news/ipswich-fans-are-in-total-agreement-abo

Taken from that article, it says 'Carsley wanting the former Manchester City player in Slovakia comes as no surprise.' Oh so I suppose now he will be referred to as the former Manchester City player rather than former Ipswich player. ):

I am sure his contract will have everything sorted there.

And I’m not being funny but I’m not upset by the lack of reference to Ipswich. He was with us for two minutes. Loved his time with us and wish him the best for the future but I’ve had longer relationships with coffee baristas.

Bit sh1tty to ask that of him and put him in that position tbh, he can’t win. I can understand why they would want him in ‘Merica but it’s tight to ask him to pull out of the U21 Euro’s less than 2 weeks before it starts.

Bit of a red flag that.

Hope he chooses England.

I think hes made a big mistake going to Chelsea. He had just about every PL after him, and chooses that basket case of club..

They seem to be in a much better place than they were. It’s a good move for him imo. They’ve been giving younger players a chance lately, and they don’t have an expensive star up top and he scored more than Jackson this season, which gives him a real chance to stake a claim. Also, which striker wouldn’t want to play in front of Cole Palmer?

I’d pick Chelsea over Man U every time at the mo.

Will be disappointed if he says yes. It was obvious they were going to ask though as they are trying to get it done so quickly.

Have some sympathy with your view but the prize money for that mickey mouse cup is farcical.

In this day and age of PSR, if you're Chelsea, I think you have every right to lean on him to come and play given the riches on offer.

"they should earn a minimum of £40m if they progress from the group stage and can earn up to £97m for winning it. That revenue is comparable to the money earned from taking part in the Champions League"

It's an interesting one. Unders 21s are a stepping stone to the full England squad, if he was on the verge of getting called up by National team then this won't have any impact unless he's been told by the FA that skipping it will make him get pushed further down the pecking order.

From his career perspective it makes sense for him to do the Club Tournament. It'll give him time to adjust to his new club, start to form relationships with the other players, and will no doubt give him a better chance to push for club game time rather than playing for under 21s.

From what I gather, the England U21 tournament takes precedence, so the FA could put their foot down if they wanted. I think from a long-term England perspective, withdrawing might not do him any favours.

Knowing the manager and Cole Palmer and a couple of other must be a big plus I reckon. And I think the club have upturned a bit of a corner and will settle down a bit now.

I'd agree with you they're clearly giving young players a chance. Like any large club it has it's challenges but they seem on an upwards trajectory.

Think the owners now actually have a clear plan that’s begining to take shape. Doubt Enzo is the man to bring that plan home but time will tell.

Didn’t do young Cole any harm going to a “basket case” club either.

The Club World Cup should not exist. How are players supposed to play a league season, then the U21 tournament, then the Club World Cup, then straight into pre-season training?!

I don’t understand- we still finished on much lower points than them and they won an European trophy.
