Morning lads…
What’s the craic with Delap? I thought he was on loan but turns out he was sold by Citeh! Do we have any interest in him atm or are any other teams watching him? I think he could be the next England number 9. Top top player in my opinion.
{Ed002's Note - There is interest from two PL sides but not Liverpool.}

Leif Davis reminds me an awful lot of Robertson at Hull if we’re doing any shopping at Ipswich.

Leif goes to ground too easily once winter comes around.

Probably best if we Leif hm alone.

Anyone robinson from Fulham looks a very tidy lb option.

Robinson is probably too old now. We need to be getting somebody long term. Davies or Ait-Nouri would be great. Davies is nailed on for Madrid unfortunately though.

Leif looks pretty good, he gets some stick but I think he has the potential to really blossom into a top player.

Is there any interest in that fullback from Benfica, Alvaro Fernandez? He's young, counts as a HG player because of the time he spent at United and seems to be a good option to replace Robertson long term?
{Ed002's Note - Alvaro Carreras (LB/LWB) Benfica will look to avoid a sale of the player who only joined in the summer after a loan, but Manchester United have a buy back option at €20M, far less than his €50M buy out clause. Manchester United could look to tempt him to rejoin but the player may look to the emerging interest of Barcelona, Liverpool and Real Madrid, although Barcelona and Liverpool do not have a pressing need. Real Madrid will see Mendy depart in the summer and, like Manchester United, are looking to a LB as a priority.}

Cheers Ed002.
It'd be interesting to see if we do try for him. Naturally I'd say that Liverpool would be the best option for him considering how we can show him a clear pathway into the first team and as teams like Barcelona and Manchester United are not as stable off the pitch as Liverpool are, we could offer him the best environment to fulfil his potential. I was fairly sure I seen that Real Madrid were targeting Alphonso Davies on a free transfer next summer, so maybe they wouldn't spend £30m+ on a potentially substitute LB?
