I don’t know how to look at TP. If he was a dead cert a top 10 team will compete for his signature. If there is more risk than that will we be priced out in that we cant take expensive gambles unless their is a clear path to resale. |  |

Yeah led to believe Parrott interest is genuine, but more as a central 10 than a focal point 9. | | | |

Delap on his own wasn't enough last time. We need a player of his quality and I don't see any reason to think Parrott is any better. I don't think we should be looking at signing strikers of a lower level. If that's all we can get we will continue to struggle in that department. |
Delap was pretty much perfect for us last time. Its the whole squad that wasn't strong enough.
And Parrot has scored 67 goals in 3 top flight seasons in the dutch league. I'm not quite sure what more we could expect then those two. It would be brilliant. Obviously with improvements to the rest of the squad.
'strikers of a lower level'. Just wow. | |

You live in a dream world mate.
That’s not anywhere near the market we are in! |  |

Are you sure ? That is a rather bold prediction. |

Well I don't think his season at Chelsea has progressed his career. He also spent 4 or 5 months when he clearly didn't want to be here. I'm just not a fan. |
Im kind of with you. Feels like a 'dont go back to an old girlfriend just because she's unhappy' sort of situation. Happy to be proved wrong though. | |

I think the logic is that he clearly improves the team we currently have very significantly. I am not sure what people are expecting. I guess if we can get Foden and Bowen over the line, we shouldn't be going for players like Delap. |
Would take that Norwegian chap at Man City if he struggles with a new manager. [Post edited 25 May 20:31]

I think you misunderstand my comment "strikers of a lower level". I mean of a lower level than those two. If the best we can get isn't as good as either of them, we will struggle is what I am saying. They are the level of striker we need to be getting. |  |

Signing a genuine 10 is nearly as big (if not bigger) priority than a striker to lead the line. We’ve not had a consistent performer in that position since Chappers in 23/24.
Smodz as a ‘second striker’ didnt work. Nunez has done alright but patchy, same with Mehmeti.
Need to invest some serious dollar in a creative 10 who can pull the strings and knock in a few goals |  | | |

I’ve despaired over some of our fans this season in how they have supported McKenna and the team in a season that ultimately delivered promotion.
Now we have fans that are against signing delap or don’t think he would be good enough based on the last season in a car crash Chelsea’s team.
I truly despair. Some of our fanbase are bonkers. The worst I’ve ever known it. This season for wtf moments from fans is mindblowing |  |

I’m quite literally sharing def info. They’re top of our wish list for a striker. | |

Although I do believe Delap is better in a team who play more on the break. Against teams who sit deep his not so good needs to be able to run behind so I think he will fit as I believe a lot of sides will have more of the ball than we will. |
My issue with Delap last time was that as the season progressed he got less effective. Early on the fact he wasn't a team player was OK because he was scoring and causing trouble whenever he got the ball. By the end, he just ran until he lost it almost every time, and off the ball he became a thug. At Chelsea his thug tendencies seem to have grown more than his football ones, which is a shame.
He's obviously a talented player and we do need someone who can work on the break but he'll need to learn to be more of a team player if we are to do better than last time. | | | |
