I've seen Delap a few times on Sky and he's never done anything to justify his place in the Stoke side. He's played the equivalent of 15 full matches so he should have settled down by now. He's 19 years old so that's in his favour but he doesn't appear ready at this level yet.
https://www.stokecityfc.com/players/liamdelap/
Two things to consider.
Supply is key and being able to play to the system you are asked when that is vastly different to what you will have been brought up on at City's academy.
He may not be good enough for this level but the lack of supply and not adapting quickly to the way Stoke play could be impacting things.
You would hope that if VK thought enough of the player and how he conducts himself (think he refers to it often as the daily habits of a player) then I would happily take hime here. However I don't think we actually showed much interest in him in the summer and his links were more the VK - Man City academy link rather than anything concrete.

Latest news on the Ekdal deal in sweden. There appear to be some problems in the deal. Burnley wants to pay in installments and now they are not sure if the deal will go through… we will have to wait and see

I thought I had read earlier that we have cooled interest because of game time and visa issues likely to arise

If you hide a post and then repost it everything that was originally on there still comes back up, I don’t know how to post images on her but there’s an image on twitter of his instagram page without that video on there this is the link -

The story was definitely about Charleroi. The mention of Antwerp was related to Frey in his recent cup game. Apparently they just made enquiries about Barnes. Probably based on the fact that other journalists were saying we'd be prepared to let him go. I would like to think that VK has seen enough of Barnes to want to keep him at least until the end of the season. If he can play like he did against Bastards and Bournemouth then he's well worth a place in the squad.

Can't agree with PNE getting promoted mate. We'd never hear the last of their "superiority" if that happened. Beating Blackburn in the playoff semis then losing in the final? Now yer talkin' !!

Looking at the highlights on YouTube, the first thing he does is take the ball the the corner flag and back heel it into his own box, some will be having kittens on here.

It was reported they wanted a €5m package in the summer.

Another great sign about our transfer policy is being pro-active about both the THB injury and upcoming loan returns in the summer. Never heard of the lad until he was linked with us but really pleased with it.
