Delap went to Chelsea on the fringes of the England squad 18:15 - Mar 1 with 2666 viewscbower

If I remember rightly, he had been invited to train with the squad, was seen as potentially in the equation for the 2026 World Cup if he could make the right impact at Stamford Bridge. Not gone too well for him though. Just coming on with 7 minutes to go against Arsenal.

They'll sell him in the summer. They dont use him enough and they need to sell due to their huge losses.

Everton on a perm, or one of the sides that comes up on loan with an option would be be my bet.

I think we'd probably be on the list of possibles albeit unlikely, actually, Villa's style might suit him though when I think about it.

Some reports that's what will happen. He has 2 goals in all competitions to his name this season. Not gone as he would've hoped. Wrong club for him I suspect. Still, he's made a shed of cash and is still just 23 and will come good elsewhere I hope.

I hope we go up and give it a real good go to get him back. Same goes for Omari. Appreciate he left under a cloud but hopefully we could sweep that under the carpet.

Not interested in Omari, but I’d take Delap back. Too much water under the bridge for Town to ever accept Omari here again.

Think Omari would be one too many. He's establishing himself in the Forest side now, pretty much a constant starter since November.

The main barrier with both, I suspect, would be they are now on wages beyond the structure we’d be operating at.

Can see Sunderland or Newcastle going for him. Or if KM goes to Palace - he could go there

Ive seen donewhere Everton are interested in him again. £30m touted as the price. Probably a load of ole ballony, but I dont think he'll be at Chelsea next season. He chose the wrong club. Im not even convinced he's PL level, but we'll see.

Yep. Or a similar club where he’d have the chance to develop. He was still very raw when he left us, so it was always going to be a gamble going to a club like Chelsea.

Would only want him back permanently or as a last resort a loan if we cant finally find a striker of our own - would rather develop someone for the future (as we did with Delap) than develop someone for the Prem moneyboys

He might engineer a move if they go down!
He must hate the Premier league, wonder what his win ratio is there, maybe he’ll try a European club. Great player though, would take him back.
Delap’s wages will be the stumbling block for some clubs, loan might therefore be the most likely option.

Given the way he left, unless there is a reason we don't know about, I wouldn’t touch Hutchinson with a barge pole, much as I appreciated and enjoyed watching him develop and play here.

Delap? Not sure about him either. Only seen a few bit and pieces on TV and a few minutes of him live at Palace, but I don’t know, he seemed lumpen and ordinary. I guess for me it depends on what he’s like as a person in addition to whether he’d fit in the team - and indeed want to return.

I see him at a Palace, Fulham, Everton maybe even Leeds sort of club next season.

He has some on his side with England though, he’s younger than he looks! Thought Chelsea was always going to be a difficult move given the size of their squad, but you’d think he’s probably been able to learn from some top players. Needs to go to a more middling team who will play to his strengths and give him more game time.

What’s he given to Fourth bottom and in danger of relegation Forest this season? It’s a serious question in that I’ve not watched much of them but know he’s scored once in 21 appearances.

If we were to make it, would he add anything significant for what we’d have to pay? Wiki says his fee was £37.5m.

Either way, I wouldn’t be interested in a player that downed tools to engineer a move - assuming that’s what he did.

I too wouldn't be going back for him after the way he went about the move

I was merely replying to wally about us having enough right sided players, we do have numbers but none of them come close to being the type of player omari was for us. Which was kinda showed by our interest in that millwall winger.

Thankfully he's still young. The lack of him being used seems to suggest they aren't overly confident in him.

he'll probably be loaned out next season. He could certainly do a job for say an Everton. I think he's better than their 2 Centre forwards.

Probably shows what a great coach Kieron is, with Delap, Hutchinson now Mehmeti. As neither Delap or Hutchinson have shown there qualities since they left, supposably in better teams. I saw in another post that Mehmeti at Brizzle wasn't a stand out player, is this down to KMk. The guy 2 weeks ago some fans where saying his time was up!
