He could have been decent as an option cutting in from the left
Provided we're getting wirtz, I'm not as bothered
With Barca going for Rashford we might see Diaz stay. If he doesnt leave to Saudi obvs.
"Not a volume striker but someone who produces great goals. Overall, I'll say he is a chaotic striker, not really a ruthless poacher, but someone who can generate danger through unorthodox routes."
AVOID!
Did you watch the video until the end?
At 65m, he's a good gamble given his attributes and who he'd play alongside at LFC (more suited to us than CFC).
At 100m, he's not worth it.
The thing about Etitike and Wirtz, is whilst they do like fragile and a bit lightweight compared to the PL CBs, if they come here we'll put them on the "asthma pumps" and they'll get stronger and quicker, especially after spending a year in the gym with Mo, and getting knocked around in training by VVD and Konate.
'A chaotic striker not a ruthless poacher'
I thought we had one of those.
And based on those 'highlights' and trying to transfer those skills to the PL ? That'd be a 'slam the door and bolt it' no thank you.
I've never thought he'd leave. It's 6CM that has convinced itself he'll leave for big money. Why would we let one of our top scorers leave? It's great having cover for LW too - why would we want to weaken ourselves by selling either Gakpo or Diaz? I'm looking forward to seeing them combine with Kerkez next season, genuine strength on both wings and through the centre.
This is Chelsea we are talking about. They might buy Delap, Ekitike, Alvarez, Sesko, and Gyokeres and tie them down to 10 year contracts.
This is true. Might be going 3-2-5 next season if Boehly gets his wish.
So i've got looked into his stats, his assists, his goals, his pressing numbers, numbers on the pitch and we shoudl definitely sign him because:
I want a massive Hugo's Boss banner on the Kop and secondly EKITIKE backwards is EKITIKE. The Big Palindrome himself.

The finest since Kabak.
Did we already sign someone?
Who?
Nunez is brainless and not very technical either. A kick and run merchant.
Suarez could be described as a choatic striker and not a ruthless poacher. But the difference between him and Nunez would be vast.
Similarly, this guy is better than Nunez. Better at dribbling, better at link up play, doesn't miss absolute sitters/tap ins at an incredible rate and has a brain for football. For the right price (60 odd million), he's worth the gamble. At 100m, absolutely not.
Frankfurt want 100M Euro, don’t they? So it’s £85M. If Delap signs for Chelsea and it satisfies their appetite we might have a free run at Ekitike and surely then Hughes can negotiate it down to 70 or something like that.
Still expensive, but not 100M.
Yeah. That's what I'm hoping for.
He'd have to indicate that we're the only place he wants to go too.
He should not be going for more than what Isak went to Newcastle for. So around £63m.
I don’t think Delap is anywhere in the same league in terms of link-up play as Ekitike or Sesko. This was Nunez’s downfall too - the goal output is directly related to confidence and confidence builds through being on the same wavelength as your teammates. I can see Wirtz and Ekitike playing quick one-twos on the edge of the box, Delap is much more of a counterattacking team striker who needs space to thrive.
Chelsea also lining up a deal for Emegha for 2026. Jackson, Delap, and Emegha is surely enough to rule them out for Ekitike
Why would anyone seriously interested in their career join them when they stockpile players like this?
