We've apparently bid £8m for Piroe at Swansea.

Would be a hell of a signing - doubt we'd get him for anywhere under £10m though.

From a worse account than Brad.... I wouldn't be trusting it

Isn’t that from a fake account on twitter with like 15 followers?

Its a complete fraud account ffs.

And Piroe, as good as he might be, isn’t even an out and out striker, he plays the 10 at Swansea, it’s not the profile we need.

As well, Swansea want 20m for him (Leicester were linked at the week but aren’t prepared to pay that amount).

Providing nobody else but Hennessy leaves, I think O'Hare, a striker and a goalkeeper and our business is done.

Would be 9 out, 9 in.

Then we've got to wait and see what happens with Cornet and a couple of others.

isnt it 10 out
Pope Bardsley Mee Tarks Colllins, lennon,Stephens, Pieters Worgt and Hennessey

Another twitter account saying Cooper at Plymouth is in talks with us. Not a reliable source by any means.

https://twitter.com/league1news22/statu ... 46zoLXANIg

Cooper does seem to fit the bill though: 22 years old, league one team of the year, lowish fee, top distribution

There’s been regular links to Cooper over a number of weeks from a variety of different sources, which would suggest our interest is genuine.

Quick scan on Plymouth’s messageboard and they seem to accept he’ll leave this summer.

Though it seems it’s not only our fans that put obscene valuations on our players, they seem to think he’ll cost 10m+.

The record for a league One keeper is 3m for Hennessey then 1m for Pope…

Could have legs this. Right age, last year of his deal.

Or it could be his agent trying to get a better deal.

That's because we've let Tarks, Mee, Collins, Pope, Bardsley and Pieters go. Once Cornet and McNeil have gone we'll be linked to wingers and strikers.

I'm reading it as they are willing to let him leave permanently

Would depend on the fee but I would imagine we'd have a chance if its with either a big sell on fee to City or an agreed amount they can buy him back

Probably crazy suggestion but I think we should try to land him permanently using the Collins money.

£10m - £15m fee with a buyback clause for City of, say, £25m if we're a Championship side or £35m if we're a Premier League side. Convince Delap by saying he'd be first choice here, 3 years + 1 year option in club's favour (can only be activated if we're Premier League) and allow him a release clause active 2 years into his deal if we're still in the Championship.

That would be incredible, but surely highly unlikely? Isn't he highly thought of there? Bit like THB

Delap would be a good signing if we can get him, good to finally be getting concrete links to strikers now, that's essential if we're to stand any chance of mounting a promotion bid.

Never seem Delap play, but he seems highly rated by most. What type of striker is he?

He is but needs senior game time now. They’ve also signed Alvarez and Haaland which is very much blocking his path to the first team.

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Wed Jul 13, 2022 4:28 pm

If they're willing to let Delap go permanently, who is to say they wouldn't sell him to us? I have no idea what he would be worth but he's barely played any first team football.

Loan with an obligation to buy on promotion or something perhaps? Buy back clause included etc.

I've only seen glimpses of him for England U19's, but seemingly he possesses pace, power, and an eye for goal, sounds exactly what we're in dire need of up front.

Wasn’t Rory involved with us a few years ago? Or that he had a son in our youth set up? Or have I just totally imagined this?

Yep they’ve been chasing half of City’s under 23s this summer have Southampton. Already signed Lavia and Bazunu, then been linked with a right back, who’s name I’ve forgotten. I think their new chief scout has City connections.
