Pep Guardiola faces criticism for selling Cole Palmer to Chelsea, as Liam Delap, another former Manchester City player, impresses at Ipswich Town. Delap, who joined Ipswich for £20 million, has scored six goals this season and is seen as a potential successor to Harry Kane. Palmer's transfer for £42.5 million last year is now viewed as a mistake, given his rapid rise in value and performance. Delap's strong showing has led to comparisons with Kane, with pundits praising his skills and potential as a top international striker. Guardiola's decision to let both players go raises questions about Manchester City's future attacking options, especially with Erling Haaland as their primary goal scorer this season. Delap's development could impact both club and country in the coming years.
