Fabian Delph

[Clevers]

If he doesn't have enough self belief to back himself then I'm glad he isn't coming now. A good player but he obviously shat himself at the last minute.

Agreed if you don't think you're good enough you aren't.

 

[We'reNotReallyHere]

He would have been a decent squad player, I can't say I'm gutted that he's not coming though.

Our targets are falling faster than Australian wickets

meh.... would have been a bit-part player.

Good luck to the lad, he will play every game he is fit there, there would have been times here when fully fit he wouldn't have even made the bench.

Totally understandable decision.

he would have started ahead of fernando every game for me

 

[grim up north]

Another flapper? Big deals take time.

Yep. Bang on. He's totally bottled it due to the pressure of the media in the past twenty-four hours telling him it'd ruin his life if he joined City. Pathetic really innit?

At the same time, he's clearly not got the balls for it so I guess we move on.

And you know this how

 

[yayas trusty right foot]

I am gutted to be honest, i think he would have been a great signing for us..

He would have taken the place of Fernando, so not sure why people say he wont play..

We will have to look for a new target now, any ideas ?

The only one i can think of is Alex Song

 

[RandomJ]

Him changing his mind just confirms he's not good enough for City. Let him be the big fish in a small pond and we'll move on.

 

[CC1]

And here you see the power of the media. he's fallen for the media bollox. That said, if he didn't have the confidence or self belief he could make it as a regular then he was not the right player for us.

Maybe he's heard we've got Pogba. If so who cares about home grown quota? We can use our EDS for this purpose...

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

meh.... would have been a bit-part player.

Good luck to the lad, he will play every game he is fit there, there would have been times here when fully fit he wouldn't have even made the bench.

Totally understandable decision.

My thought's exactly.

 

[cookster]

it's not the fact he isn't joining, but the fact we got turned down by Delph (who really cares, he's nothing special) when the deal was practically done. That's shambolic and 3 years worth of banter for others.

Agree, all the time invested as well for fuck all end result. I can see us scrambling now for home grown talent.... not good!
