Delaney Boost – Will Doug Muck Up?

David O’Leary says the club are about to offer Mark Delaney a new contract and confirmed they will be taking up the option in his current deal which expires at the end of the season.

Delaney said a few days ago he felt that he was being pushed out, so hopefully he will now be able to settle down and carry on his fantastic form in the centre of defence with Olof Mellberg.

O’Leary says of the Wales international:

‘I want to have Mark here next season. ‘He has been playing well at the centre of defence and I know he wants to sign a long-term contract.’

So Delaney wants to sign. O’Leary wants him to sign. I wonder what Doug will do to ……. no, sorry, mustn’t be a cynic!
