De Bruyne?

I didn't mean particularly with Nacho, I meant with youngsters in general. It's Pellers last season so I don't see it as being a season for him to be giving young players experience when he has internationals in front of them in the pecking order also battling for game time.

As much as I'd like to believe that Nacho has played because he is a huge part of our plans this season, I'm also aware that Aguero wasn't there and Bony was ill so I'll reserve judgement on that one.

Also remember that he played significant minutes on the USA tour last summer. Of course he couldn't get into the lineup because his couldn't get his work papers sorted until November or so.
 
IMO I think the club is waiting for Dzeko to Roma to be finalized before we officially put in a bid. I would also assume Txiki has been talking with Wolfsburg officials and KDB's agent on what will be needed to take him away. I don't think he's needed against West Brom but I would LOVE to see him either start or appear as a sub against Chelsea
 
I'm not slagging Lampard off, but he was what he was and whilst he started the season well (for a mid 30's midfielder), he was not amazing, nor irreplaceable and Delph will have expect to start far more games than Frank managed.

Lampard scored 6 league goals in 9 months here, that's exactly twice the amount Delph scored in his entire time at Villa.

They're different players of course, with different strengths and weaknesses, but I don't understand why you'd have you denigrate Lampard to elevate Delph. Lampard certainly did his bit last season, he played a reasonably important role in the squad.
