Crap signing, the fact that we have Fernando and Delph as two of our centre midfielders must have Barca, Bayern and Madrid shitting themselves.

Let's not kid ourselves, he's here because he fills a quota, no other top club would touch him.

Cue the "shit fan", "only been here 2 mins and written him off" comments.

Mate, an engine is made up of many moving parts and Delph will be just one part of a well oiled machine with a specific task. I honestly think Delph will surprise more than a few fans because from what I saw of him last season, I'd feel more comfortable with him as one of our centre mids facing Barca than I was when I saw Fernando in the line-up. He's not been brought in to challenge Silva, he's an upgrade on Fernando imo and with him signed I wouldn't be surprised to see Fernando leave which doesn't perturb me.

Well mate you back the winner of the national but forget to write the horses ne on the slip.....just kidding. Dont really matter i like the player and he will be an asset to the squad. Astute signing
 
brace ourselves for the shitstorm , delph will be vilified , and hung out to dry over the next few days , all the ex villa players , collymore, mcgrath etc will be in their element. Well f*ck em all , weve signed two of the best young English players in the premiership with loads of potential to improve , for 60 million quid , we needed an injection of pace and hunger and we have got it in abundance with these two lads , "Welcome to Manchester."
 
Just got my email confirming the signing .
Can't get that worked up about signing Delph .
In fact i want the likes of Dzeko And Jovetic to go .
And let's hope Fernando goes too .

Perfect scenario for me would be for Pogba to arrive, and Fernando to leave.

A centre midfield to select from : Yaya, Pogba, Fernandinho, Delph

Top draw that. Lots of options there.
 
I'm pretty pleased. We went for him previously and I think (hope) he can make it. £8m is good value as far as I'm concerned. Everyone seems to knock English talent but I'd rather take a punt on him than another Garcia type.

You're a bona fide Bluemoon legend forever, mate. Thanks for posting, sincerely.

When that picture suddenly came in of him going for the medical. Man, it was good to be on here and see it 'live'. That's when we all knew for definite this was happening.

A pint for you if I ever see you!

I thought the picture of him going into the hospital was a Photoshop job: head looked pasted on but maybe it was just the shadow. However, even then, it did not mean that he had not been spotted, which he obviously had.

All very amusing to watch it develop.

I'm pretty pleased with this signing as it should prove to be a huge bargain. I think the kid has got real heart and will grab his chances when they come.

Although, Delph will never reach the standard of Lamps at his best, the signings of Delph and Sterling, compared to the Milner and
Lampard that left us, represent a strenghtening of the squad.

haven't read the thread, but there are knowledgeable people on this forum...

...what the fuck happened in the past week?

We only have press stuff to go on.

Fancied a move, saw the shit he got so backed out and claimed it's because he felt a duty to Villa as Captain. Realised when the Benteke bid went in that they're going down so thought it's a waste of his career and wants to win trophies

Now this is just me, but I personally heard that Hodgson intimated to him last week that if he isn't playing first team football than his Euro 2016 place is under threat, but that doesn't seem to have been in any papers so probably nothing.
