Liam Delap is a slightly unhinge madman; Chelsea will be lucky to have him
Resigning themselves to the fact the Premier League was going to. Be incredibly tough Resigning themselves to losing most games.
Resigning themselves to being patronisingly told to stop playing in a naive possession-base style despite not in fact playing that. Resigning themselves to being last on Match of the Day Resigning themselves to relegation.
But now, Ipswich fans are resigning themselves to something else: the prospect โปรโมชั่นพิเศษจาก UFABET สมัครตอนนี้ รับโบนัสทันที of losing their best player this summer.
The revelation that Liam Delap has a £30m release clause should the club go down. Was like the doors being swung open on a Black Friday stampede. Teams from across the Premier League were jostling to be first to the checkout, with Chelsea seemingly winning the race to sign a striker who is perhaps worth double that.
Ipswich fans have no ill will to the notion of Delap moving.
Selling your best players to bigger clubs is the fate of being a non-elite side and £30million is no small amount for a club like ours – far more than the £3million we got for Aaron Cresswell, who has gone on to make over 300 appearances in the Premier League. (yes it still annoys me.)
Your only hope is that these players stay long enough to give you some good memories. In Liam Delap, that has very much the case.
I will be the first to admit I had my doubts when we signe him. He cost £15m, making him the second-most-expensive signing in Town’s history and while our most expensive signing – Omari Hutchinson – had at least spent a year on loan with us, Delap was more of an unknown.
