Fabian Delph

[FantasyIreland]

Welcome to Manchester, one down, three to go!

This is a very astute piece of business on our part.

When you consider we got £2.5m for Sinclair, we are getting an England international for £5.5m.

We tried to buy him for double that price when he was at Leeds and he is has come a long way since then.

He has desire and the legs to give us a major uplift.

And call it football karma. We lost a £20m rated player for free the other week and we are replacing him with a younger upgrade who would also cost £20m plus in normal circumstances.

He absolutely bossed us at the Etihad the other month and dragged Villa back into that game.

Nice work.

An excellent summary.

Welcome to city Fabian....great opportunity

Name me one HG player on the market who'd be a starter? - there isn't one. There's no point complaining that we aren't buying something that doesn't exist.

Sterling

Agreed, fits the bill on so many points and not as bad a player as some on here are suggesting

Really glad we swapped Scott Sinclair for Scott Sinclair 2.0 with Villa.

Don`t talk bollocks.You`ll soon be eating your words.

Bale?

Maybe one of the Left backs?

I did say on the market!
I should have qualified the 'that we're not already in for' - I concede that.

My point being that there's no HG stunner on the market that we're overlooking. We're in for Sterling, and Delph is a no brainer.

I think Delph will play a lot more than some people think. I remember really wanting him at City back when he was a teenager and now he's here albeit not as good as I envisioned but still capable nonetheless.

I agree. Great signing. I wouldn't compare this with the signing of Sinclair etc, by any stretch.

 

[LittleEgg]

In the context of requiring cheap homegrown players, he's a good bit of business, who can certainly play a part.

Now for the marquee players please.

 

[unlikelyfan19]

Please don't compare Sinclair to Delph.

 

[Rammy Blue]

He is far from class. I think you are suffering from blue tinted specs where you are trying to make this out to be bigger than it is. Yes we needed HG players but make no mistake he will not play a big role and will probably leave within a few seasons bemoaning lack of football.

Alright then, let's play your game...

Name me homegrown players that are worthy of being brought in at reasonable money who would be first team regulars?

Please don't compare Sinclair to Delph.

Only the wum's and Pogba flappers would do that. The wum's will say hes plan B to the likes of Pogba. And the flappers will believe it.
