Sports (Talk about balls here.)
I'm not that well informed Grim.
However, it wouldn't be a bad shout as a stop gap until we find another world class forward to rotate with Jesus. Having said that if Delap can't get into our starting eleven Pep isn't likely to move for another young forward.
My suspicions are, (rightly or wrongly) Pep will go back in for Messi for a couple of seasons and use Jesus/Torres as the main forwards when Messi/Aguero are injured (which is often these days) then either promote Delap (who is only 17) to rotate with Jesus/Torres or see who is around. As someone once said, "there is no value in the market" at the minute in that position, but Greenwood I think is a non starter.
I do honestly feel though that if Messi doesn't arrive Pep and Aguero could possibly leave at the end of their contracts. If we do get Messi then all three will sign a two year contract. I hope my crystal ball is foggy but if they do leave it might be good to have a refresh/reboot.
Nothing lasts forever!
