Fabian Delph

[The Stockport Iniesta]

This is almost as big a blow as not signing Mido!

 

[adrianr]

Hahahah. Yeah, superb player he would have been for us. Didn't even have the bottle to even turn up and fight for a place. Clearly not the sort we want here. Consider this a blessing in disguise.

 

[Blue Haze]

Good. Even he knew this was a massive mistake. Saves us from sending him on loan for 3 years while paying his salary.

Txiki, find better targets who can actually contribute. Quota players are total wastes of money if they won't play.

Reading the ITKs I thought this was done and dusted

 

[JoeMercer'sWay]

wow, where did that come from?

 

[blue_sonic176]

On to Barkley!

 

[bobmcfc]

He obviously took my advice :)

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Slightly disappointing, but it's his career and there are good reasons for staying at Villa.

Not everyone is an inveterate risk taker. He'd be risking a lot to come to City. Can't blame him for playing it safe.

To those blaming our media image, you're wrong, up to a point. We need homegrown players who'll back themselves to the extent that what is written in the press doesn't affect their decision making process. Anyone who falls short of that isn't what we want at this club.

 

[waspish]

if it was the scum who came calling in would of gone there because the propaganda from the media we are a grave yard for English players where's as the scum are not

 

[jazzy]

Thank fuck for that, not good enough to play for us
