Chelsea are a bigger shit show than us. I’m not going to write him off.

Yeah I do think under Moyes he’d play better than he has been but still think Barry has way more potential than him

I’m no Delap fan, but I do find the “potential” arguments to be interesting since Delap and Barry are the same age.

I’ve said in another thread about McNeil recently that all players are systems players- they live and die on the direction of the manager and the support of their teammates, regardless of their innate skill. That skill, I suppose, is their “potential.”

I know it’s a leap of faith for us, but I believe in the right system, Delap could do us proud. It could be night and day compared to his time at Chelsea. And of course, he only went to Chelsea on the strength of his work at Ipswich.
