No it isn't. Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Rags, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, you're picking him for those games? He'd be nowhere near my team, not creative enough to warrant a place to break down little sides, and not good enough to cope in big games, like Rodwell he'd be a waste of fucking space.

We're meant to be trying to be champions again and win the CL, there is no merit to buying him, none. He's had 8 years to step up and he's consistently failed to make anything other than fleeting impressions, and the rest of the time he's been naff.

Thats your opinion.Thankfully I see a far better player than you`re making out.
If we are talking about shit players don`t look too far away from home,with Fernando,Dzeko and Mangala all coming into contention.
 
Decent player...but would an England international want to be rotated and jeopardise this??

"Thankfully"...I would say "there are none so blind as those who cannot see".

I've watched him enough over the years to be unimpressed, and when faced with him up against Busquets/Rakitic/Iniesta, Kroos/Modric/+1, Alonso/Schweinsteiger/Thiago, Matic/Fabregas/Oscar, and that's without those sides improving, I think he'll be completely out of his depth, worse than Fernando. Dzeko has won us a league with his goals, he's proven himself and his quality, Delph has proved the absolute square root of fuck all in his career despite ample hype and opportunity.

He doesn't cut the mustard.

Nope, I just happen to understand the difference between a player who has proven himself at the highest level, and has thus demonstrated, despite inconsistency, his talent, and one who has had a decade to prove how good he is, at any point, and has regularly failed to do so, and is completely unproven.

And Dzeko,Nasri,Fernando,Kompany and Mangala are also in the firing line for inconsistency so that speaks volumes.

To compare Kompany, Nasri and Dzecko's level of performance to Delph's is ridiculous

Mangala and Fernadno are new to the league so in willing(ish) to give them the benefit of the doubt whereas Delph has been playing in the league for years and only occasionally stands out.

He's just not good enough
 
He's around his level at Villa. He'd probably be a handy player for plenty of teams in and around mid table. The likes of Everton, West Ham, Newcastle and Stoke. He comes to us and he's a bit part player who's international career would likely stall due to lack of minutes.
That said, if we're looking to address the HG quota with squad fillers he's not the worse option out there.
 
Even if there is such a release clause, does it automatically mean the club that triggers it gets him for £10m? Or does it spark off an auction among all interested clubs? I'm guessing the latter.

No its not.Don`t be so short sighted in thinking those players are consistent performers.Yes Vinnie had a very poor season,but both Nasri and Dzeko certainly do NOT perform to a standard that is good enough for City.

Nasri and Dzecko have been here for years and been essential to us winning trophies. Thier form has been inconsistent at times but they are quality players

Delph is not in thier league in terms of quality or achievement

Nasri has often performed to a standard good enough for City, if he can sort his fitness and gets his mindset right he's got a few more seasons left at the highest level. I wouldn't be looking to get rid of him. His problem has been the fact he's bottled it in some big fixtures, which goes back to his mindset. We as fans tend to remember the important games and don't forgive too easily when watching a player fall apart. (ala Barcalona..)
Dzeko on the other hand.. Sooner we get rid the better, and I say that as somebody who's grateful for the part he's played since joining, I just don't see how he improves us anymore.

He's been head and shoulders Villa's best player for yonks know, and he's been one of England's best performers in the last few games he's played in. I wonder whether some of you actually watch these players play before you pass judgement on them.
 
Hope we pass on this guy despite the attraction of the fee - jeez when did £10million become cheap? Never liked him since he made some poor comments about us when choosing Villa rather than coming to God's own club!

If it's a minimum fee release clause then there's be no use bidding any higher than the clause price.

Villa finished 4th bottom, being the best of a bad bunch is hardly preparation for challenging for the league and cups

I have watched him and don't think he's good enough
