The "ESPN FC" crew debate whether Chelsea are taking too much of a risk by signing Liam Delap to be their long-term solution at striker.

In a counter-attacking Ipswich side, Delap’s powerful, driving runs forward have been a theme of his season as he has shouldered much of the attacking responsibility with a return of 10 non-penalty goals — at an overall rate of over one goal every three games — for his efforts.

Chelsea are closing in on the signing of Liam Delap, and all we have left now are just a couple formalities, a medical, and (most importantly) some signatures on some dotted lines. Things are never official until they are actually official in football,
