The Saga of Signing the Throw-In Prince…
Move over, Rory Delap, your son Liam is causing quite a stir with an impressive blend of power, pace, and a few goals to boot. He might not toss a ball like his ol’ dad, but he’s been linked with none other than Manchester United. Liam’s journey from Derby County to Manchester City’s star-studded academy, and onto a permanent gig at Ipswich Town for a cool £20 million, has been akin to a tale of a footballing prince—minus the corgis and crowns.
The young royal of the Premier League is now facing the gleaming eyes of Premier League giants like United, especially since his 10-goal debut season in Ipswich’s struggle-fest. Ipswich might be heading for the Championship, but Delap seems to have entered the big league with the grace of a waterfowl—go figure! Kieran McKenna wants him to stick around like glue, but the Premier League vultures are circling, and we all know United loves a flavor-of-the-month when they see one.
With Ruben Amorim’s hair nearly lost to frustration, the push for proven goal scorers is more desperate than your aunt at a sale. Though Liam shows promise, it’s young Victor Osimhen who’s making United fans swoon. Liam Delap’s £50m price tag might mean their plan for striker supremacy still lies in that United treasure chest, waiting for the right fit.
