In today's inflated market, if he goes for that someone will have grabbed a bargainI would be impressed if we got £12m for Delph to be fair.
£12m is a steal. He's a full England International. For that money I would keep him.In today's inflated market, if he goes for that someone will have grabbed a bargain

My only issue with Delph is his ball retention under pressure, it is ok and not great, which I think is a major reason why Pep is open to him leaving. Plus the injuries.
He scored a cracker last season for us and i would have no issue with him staying if we are confident his injuries are not a concern. He drives the ball forward very well and he really hasn't had a fair chance to show what he can do, but that is not anyone's fault,
If he goes, good luck to him and someone is going to get a decent player who can be even better with a consistent run. But if he stays I won't be unhappy as I think he could really kick on, surely unless he's told he won't get even on the bench most games then he wants to stay also, given the quality he'd be alongside and the chance to play in Europe.

Does anybody have any numbers on how often Delph has been injured while being with City? It feels to me like he was sidelined for at least half of the time, and of the other half spent most of it trying to build up his form again. I suppose this feeling is wrong, but I would really like to know how much time he has really been available for selection.
£12m is a steal. He's a full England International. For that money I would keep him.
To be honest, any offer that comes close to £12m should be accepted.
There is gonna be very little game time for him, with the likes of Yaya, Gundogan and Fernandinho in front of him in the pecking order.
He hasn't exactly been available for selection much throughout his time here.
Another Rodwell.

My thoughts exactly, given the fact he's English he should be going for more than that, I'd say £20m would be fair.In today's inflated market, if he goes for that someone will have grabbed a bargain
He'd be a starter at over 50% of the PL clubs, so if you consider his value to them rather than to us, he's a valuable player.
He'd be a starter for over 50% of clubs quite possibly but would he be fit over 50% of the time? He hasn't demonstrated this for us which is I suspect why his fee is low.My thoughts exactly, given the fact he's English he should be going for more than that, I'd say £20m would be fair.

12m for a fully fit player is a steal. As such, he makes himself available for about 10-15 games per year. Would sell at that price without hesitation.
