Just read a tweet that Chelsea players are set for a pay cut if they don't qualify for the CL. I expect their pay could be further reduced if they don't qualify for the Europa League.
Pure speculation on my part, but I wonder if that will enable us to match Delap's Chelsea wages? I guess a stumbling block could be the relegation clause that we'd need to put in his contract. |  | | |  |

This x 100.
His form after Christmas wasn't great at all, and he's a pretty selfish player with an on pitch temperament problem.
Not saying he is rubbish, but he'd cost us a fair bit and I think there will be better options for that outlay. |
Agree with all that,the obsession is a bit over the top. Good first half to season, fell off a cliff after, especially when he thought he was going to get a move and yes, his temperament isn’t great at times either. We need 11 players to stay on the pitch,it will be tough enough as it is. |  | | |

I really feel we need to stop this obsession over Delap. He fared really well for us in the first half of the last PL campaign, but he still has serious limitations to his game. Some of which just don't suit him as a long-term number 9 in Kieran's system IMO.
There's a big wide world out there. |
I agree. It's the new Celina Syndrome. |  |

I dread to think how some fans are going to react when the dreams of promotion face the reality of the set of players who are prepared to sign for us. |
true, but thats got to be the same for any team promoted surely ? Ashton/ McKenna needs to up their game maybe in who thier matrix identifies and who we reasonably feel we can sign. Stop paying way over the odds for players who really arent significantly better than we already have here... and dont the players that got us promoted deserve their vchance in the PL? Mckenna ripped up the Band of Brothers for arguably no better imports ...and certainly a less effective "team" in my huimble view .. |  |

All this talk about Delap when Omari is right there (I love Omari) |
Omari 'I don't think I can contribute' Hutchinson, no thanks. Love Delap back though. |  |

If you're on about TWTD obsessions on a player just be thankful Jordan Rhodes retired | | | |

I’d take him back in a heart beat though, personally.
Chelsea have already signed Emmanuel Emegha from their French side, Strasbourg, so at least 1, if not both of Delap or Guiu will be available this summer.
Raul Jiminez contract up at Fulham this summer, as an experienced striker in the Prem, I’d take him for a year. |
On Jimenez, do you really think we'd have a chance to sign him? Surely he'd have better teams or more lucrative teams (i.e. MLS etc) after him, especially on a free?
He would be an absolute coup if we could. | | | |

If fit, Jimenez would be a really useful experienced back up to whichever player we sign as our new number 9.
I've always felt that Guiu would be a better fit for our number 9 than Delap, personally. More of a link man, but also has the ability to run beyond the last line of the defence. |
Ignore, wrong player [Post edited 8 May 13:56]
