'He has got everyone talking about him'

Former Ipswich Town and England defender Mick Mills says striker Liam Delap has been a "super signing" for the Tractor Boys and has got "everyone talking about him".
Delap continued his impressive start to life at Ipswich scoring his fourth goal in seven Premier League games in the 4-1 defeat to West Ham United.
Speaking on BBC Radio Suffolk's Final Whistle, Mills said: "He's been a super signing and without a doubt he has got everyone talking about him around the town and in the county of Suffolk.
"He's got what is required for that job. The lone striker job is difficult, it's a real battle all the time and he's equipped to do it.
"A lot of the passes he will be receiving are going to be travelling over a long distance and won't be the kindest passes but he's got the control to deal with it, he's got the pace to worry people and he's got the brute strength that is sometimes required.
"The bonus is, he can score goals. There have been so many players that have got those attributes but the one thing they have that is missing is the ability to score. I think Liam is now proving to everybody that he hasn't got that as a negative.
"We now need to make sure that what is around him is good as well. I still think when we go away from home we'll have to play on the break an awful lot and we've got to have people that can give him some support very quickly."
