Fabian Delph

[MeatHunterrr]

How does anyone know he was due to have a medical today ? Because Sky Sources said so ? That's no proof whatsoever. Everyone always gets so giddy thinking deals are done and dusted before there's any official word. Maybe, just maybe, Delph is happy where he is with a very young child just on the scene and he considers now isn't the right time to move. All this "he's bottled it" bollocks is so arrogant and disrespectful.

Well, even the BBC was on it yesterday. Not just "Sky sources"

I'm might be wrong he but I'm guessing pellegrini has not even spoken to the lad. The likes of Jose and baconface would have sold the club to him. I don't see that in pellers but I could be wrong

We need to stop looking at English players. They're fucking awful, sooner we grasp this, the better.

There is no rule saying you must have X amount of HG players. We need HG players to have some depth in the squad as we cant have 20 foreign players.

and that is exactly what delph would have given us, people keep slagging him off but none have a named a better hg player we could get for in the region of £8m

Maybe we are getting Arunguiz ....one can hope

One of the ITKs here said he was a done deal several times so sky aren't too far off the mark I'd guess.

True.

The whole ruling is ridiculous though because it overvalues average players and forces some of them into playing at a level they are clearly not good enough to play at just because the buying club needs to fill a quota.

Yes, the law of unintended consequences. They thought it would be good for the English game, then European Law said it can't be just English players, so the fudged it to be 'home grown' (not English). Now it's morphed into a premium price for a handful of top class HG players.

Unfortunately we need to fill a ridiculous quota.

Lol

Reading the ITKs I thought this was done and dusted

Don't be a pair of dickheads. He changed his mind at the last minute and didn't turn up to sign. How the fuck are they supposed to know that. Some posters on here have the brains of a fucking rocking horse.
