Fabian Delph

[jaiguruKun]

This must be the first time a player has rejected us because he felt we were too good for him?!

By all accounts it had all been agreed yesterday and he must have thought it all through so for him to have changed his mind so late is more than a little odd.

My hunch is that someone from within the England setup had a word to dissuade him from coming, told him that if he stayed at Villa he was nailed on for the Euros and if he would jeopardise that by signing for us.

It's shame as I think he'd have been a good signing for us. Fernandinho is now the wrong side of 30 and the other Fern is garbage so it's clearly an area that needs addressing.

My gut feeling is he might have another 'rethink' and still join.

 

[Cobwebcat]

He didn't think he was good enough. He was right. The end.

You can't put a statement up on the club website and go against it, surely?

We will move on now.

Has the real reason why Delph did a Runaway Bride been reported?

I love this Club.

Sorry to halt the debate.

How do you copy a quote on this new format?

Can't be arsed going through all the technical threads.

The whole thing smells of fish. Since when did an Ingerlund player move with so little fuss for less than £10mil? Nobody at city has ever stated we were in for him either - media bollocks the lot of it.

Not a fucking clue mate.

The fact he didn't want to come was a clear sign of a weak player. Mentally not strong enough. Glad though, we can invest in better.

 

[Cheadle Blue]

Presumably the back headlines will be "SNUBBED"

Figured it out!

I just think with the time still left in the window the opportunity might be too much for him to resist and he will change his mind.

Obviously City may not proceed but as a player how can you possibly want to stay at Villa rather than play with some of the best players in the world and fight for trophies?

I tend to avoid this forum these days its not what it used to be.

I just think we are heading to heights he can't handle

Neither is the team we support. Be it for better or for worse, a lot has changed over the last 6-7 years.

 

[Cheadle Blue]

Some of the shit on twitter is unreal. Don't people realise that we are a top team now and don't have to through 250k a week at the likes of Delph

You could argue that making the decision he did took a lot of guts.
