I know this may seem nitpicky but can we stop referring to people as "rubbish"? It's one thing describing a performance or mentality of a player as rubbish, but referring to them outright as such just doesn't sit well with me.

Delph may very well not be of the required standard for our aspirations but he is not the sentient biological manifestation of garbage.

Beyond that semantics point, I actually think he has the potential to be a very useful squad player (which we need—we can't sustain a squad full of superstars) but I believe the injuries have taken a toll. He may be able to recover but, if he cannot, he was still one of the lowest cost signings since the take over and, by all accounts, is well liked by the other players (which helps out overall team morale) so we haven't really lost much with this transfer. For that reason I am a bit perplexed by some of the rather harsh comments made towards in on Bluemoon.

Interestingly I was thinking this myself, pretty much agree with everything you said.

Fair enough.

I think he's not very good at all.

Perfectly valid opinion. Regardless of whether he stays or goes, though, I hope he is able to put the constant injuries behind him. I would hate to see a perfectly respectable career fizzle out (which is an understatement given the lot of us posters have never stepped on the pitch as a professional, much less tried to keep Monchengladbach's very able midfield quiet in a must-win Champions League match).
