Did anyone see his highlights in our friendly?

Seriously he is so bad. Worse than any player ive ever seen play for Chelsea. Twice as bad as Mudryk. He's an absolutely shocking footballer.

Yep. He's not interested in playing football, only ever bothered about shoulder barging people after they've played the ball.

He also actually looked slower than last season.

I expected him to look sharp today if I'm honest, but no such luck. I wouldn't be against a loan and seeing how he does as a starter somewhere rather than sell him but I'm not arsed if he was sold, he just can't be here next season.

I would be against a loan. I am against him playing again for us. Every time he steps on the field he makes it less likely we exit him.

Bench him, send him back to the UK, with a leak that keeping him safe as likely to be sold shortly. Drum up maximum amount of interest and hope he gets bought for 35m so we can make our money back.

Right now hopefully people still have this view "ah you can't judge a player who doesn't do well at Chelsea". If we loan him and he comes back next summer, he will be seeing out his contract with us.

I can't see a loan improving him. The skills, the instincts aren't there, certainly not at anything near top level. Championship, fine.

Delap, Disasi, Badiashile, Tosin, Fofana and Garnacho are all unsellable. No one is daft enough to pay a transfer fee for these players (I'm convinced that Garnacho is coming back after his Villa loan).

We have to keep loaning these players out until their contracts run out.

Forest apparently interested.

Just snagged 130M for Anderson so they've got money.

Delap will have suitors for now, but that will expire soon, luckily many people think its a Chelsea problem not a player problem, Disasis is genuine mid table quality - i'd want to sign him if I was any of those clubs, Badiashille would probably do really well in Italy, Tosin feels like we are keeping for some reason but I am certain someone would spend 10m on him if we put it out there.

Fofana not going anywhere.

We should be paying them to take him off our hands at this point.

Our owners want £25m

We need to move him on. Best for all involved. He’s been poor with his back to goal, struggles against a low block, technically a bit messy, and the constant fouling and yellows is a waste of time.

Hes better on counter leading breaks - like what we saw at Ipswich. Welbeck would be a better option right now.

I think we could be pleasantly surprised with the numerous suitors and the 40-45 million asking price.

I think he misunderstood what "fighting for his place" means.

Elbowing people and breaking jaws is not the kind of "fight" we're looking for, Liam.

Nottingham Forest currently leading the chase, Everton also linked.

What's the betting this one ends up a loan as well?

Of course he wants to stay and fight for his place, he will get exposed anywhere he goes because he is sh*t.

Wtf are we doing haha

We'd absolutely take 35m I reckon

Yes Rory's boy is a fighter alright.

I'd take 35p.

Wouldn't be too concerned about the asking price as Delap's only market is the Premier League and all clubs have money to spend, barring PSR crap. Can't see anyone in Europe thinking "he'd thrive in this league"... maybe a lesser Bundesliga side would take him on loan, but then it ruins our international loan spots so that scenario is likely out of the picture.

Forest would probably be a good move for him, hopefully there's something to these rumours and we don't get greedy

Think last season was the market for No 9s, there is little or no demand even in the PL. Irony is we have 2-3 to shift.

Chris Wood can't go on forever. Missed a lot of games last season.

Awoniyi and Delap up top would be absolutely hilarious

Delap already has a side-splitting laughter partner in Jacko. Why would he want to break up the football comedy duo equivalent of Morcambe & Wise?
