Fabian Delph

[80s Shorts]

As far as TH is concerned I do believe he has SOME information but u think he's got way too excited way too soon with all the welcome to Manchester crap it seems to me he got the reaction from the forums he wanted.

Haha, ITK wars.

Just goes to show nobody knows jack shit. Including your good self.

I disagree. If we were interested in signing Delph it was because we saw a role for him in our squad, and not because he was cheap and home grown. It was somebodies job at our club to sell Manchester City to him, and to be honest that shouldn't have been a hard sell. The chance to win trophies, to play alongside the likes of Silva, Yaya and Aguero, to play against the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid, to play his part in the extremely exciting future that lies ahead at our club, to explain what his role would be and that he would be given plenty of chances to prove his worth. At the end of the day the lad has chosen to play mid-table football (at best), at a club that has zero chance of competing for the title or being in Europe. That's a piss poor decision by Delph and a shit sales pitch by the club.

I agree totally I live in the midlands and the local Villa fans are already hailing this episode as "Good conquering evil" and hailing him as a hero! I appreciate it is early doors but why isn't our PR Department managing these situations better and if the press are accurate in their assessment of our "recruitment drive" so far, then we should be concerned because it looks ham fisted at best...........

Does anyone know what actually happens if we don't fulfill our homegrown quota and just named a reduced squad. Say we name 17 Non-HG + Hart/Clichy/Sterling + a few U21s e.g. Lopes, Pozo. Do we receive some sort of punishment? I mean if it's just a small fine is that really going to matter to our owner.

No, absolutely nothing happens. There is no quota, there is no reason to "fill" it.

Bullet dodged?

He would of been a 4th choice central midfielder who was HG and at a bargain of a price. The lad can also play and provides something that City need in central midfield and that's energy and legs. That to me would of been a great addition.

He's not good enough. We don't need to fuck about signing 4th choice midfielders when we need to improve the first team.

That's what I originally thought but all you here in the media is "City need to buy 8 English players"

At least we have even more reason to go all out on Pogba :)

Teams win matches. Squads win titles.

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

maybe a team like the rags have come in for him and he knows he will get a game?
