Fabian Delph

[FanchesterCity]

This is what's annoyed Villa fans the most.

Not good reading (for a Villa fan), but he's not the first (or the last) to go overboard with gushing praise then bail out soon after.

Delph is at a similar stage in his career as Lescott and Barry were when they came. Established Premiership players in the England squad.

To get a homegrown squad player of Delph's quality for £8 million is great business IMO.

I think he'll do well here.

Agreed....

Plus...I didn't hear villa bitching or dragging his name through the mud despite the fact they won't be happy with the fee

Over the blue moon with this one, great signing at 8mil.

Anyone knocking this deal needs their head testing, we ARE/WERE desperate for homegrown signings and we bring in a class player at right age for relative peanuts and people aren't happy? Weird.

So he takes Milners spot in the squad if we got him for the buyout clause it's very good business. Solid player.

So our first two major signings are an unheard of Turkish player and an England international who won't be a starter when everyone is fit. Better get better.

A no brainer for the price. Will get games of that I have no doubt. Welcome to the club young man.

All this love the club stuff is meaningless. Even if they do, they must put themselves first.

I get your frustration, but he was a good player for you...in the end. Best of luck next season.

Looks like Benteke might move too if Liverpool get the Sterling cash although I haven't been following that closely. Vital that that gets spent well.

I agree


No pleasing some folk..

Bothered enough to bring it up in a thread about Fabien Delph, though :-)

Ok then......It was relevant to your statement,i thought losing milner on a free was 'unfair'.Yes he 'honoured' his contract.....he also made sure he only served himself,which,of course,as you state,was his right.

Top lad is James.

As for Delph,I think we have an upgrade.

It was a decent post right up to this, now you just come off as a bit of a dick.

File it with his scaffolding post on the Etihad Stadium thread
