Fabian Delph

[abu13]

I wouldn't mind us signing Delph to be honest, sometimes it's the unfashionable players who really make a team tick. I dont for one minute think he is a fallback if we miss out on Pogba. More likely to be a replacement for Lampard.
one of the very few England international players I would have.

True but to go from Pogba to Delph would make us a laughing stock and set us up for a season of struggling for Top 6 with the 4 S's: Scousers, Southampton, Spurs and Scum.

Seeing as we have plenty of money to spend this summer I doubt anybody would be laughing if we were to sign another A lister instead of Pogba. Say Bale or Robben.

How underwhelming is it though?

Missing out on Hazard and buying Sinclair stuff that.

Txiki must be wearing his official Manchester United club shop tie to the office if he thinks Delph is the answer to anything!

So do you believe every rumour you hear as fact, or just ones that fit your agenda?

It's not so much the A lister, albeit I do think we need to make a statement, but our midfield is our biggest concern in my opinion and not getting a world class midfielder will really cost us big time next season.

Even if the speculation is true and we are in for him where anywhere in the speculation does it say he's targeted instead of Pogba and not alongside him. We have lost Lampard and Milner who could both play centrally. I m not sure Sterling or De Bruyne would be able to play centre mid in our system so maybe we are after two central players.

Would anyone turn there nose up at Delph alongside the three mentioned? Personally I'd prefer Wilshere or Ward Prowse but maybe the management see Delph as more workmanlike than Wilshere and more developed than Ward Prowse. We need homegrown and there aren't that many about.

To be very honest i have not seen enough of Delph but also not heard his name mentioned that often in a good or bad light.

Meh. Gundögan is available, so is Schweinsteiger.

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

Please no no no no!!! I'd rather give one of our own a go!

Back in the day I wanted to sign him when he left Leeds for Villa

No agenda here. Just flapping. Because if that kind of rumour (from numerous sources) doesn't cause a bit of panic then you must be incredibly nonchalant regarding our next season!

Seeing as we have plenty of money to spend this summer I doubt anybody would be laughing if we were to sign another A lister instead of Pogba. Say Bale or Robben.

But Delph is not an A lister. If we were linked with another A-lister, then fine! But we're linked with a D-Lister.

Like going from Johnny Depp to Johnny Drama!

P.S. I realise Johnny Drama is fictional.
