Okay I will bite. No way would Delph make barca, real or bayern squad in my opinion. Plus my point is that our first 11 needs improving from last year so that some starters last year fill the squad places. We shouldn't look to fill the bench as a priority. Before you lot heard he had a 10million buyout clause I doubt you'd have even considered the guy. We shouldn't be looking at bargain basement buys again just my opinion.

He's as much as a bargain basement buy as Lampard was. He's cheap because of his contract situation, not because he's shit. He'd easily be a £20m player if he didn't have that release clause in his contract.Okay I will bite. No way would Delph make barca, real or bayern squad in my opinion.

I think people have a habit of overrating our youngsters. This kid isn't even in the England U21s yet, and you have him doing the same job as a regular starter for England and Villa's best player. Let's just say this: if we put Bryan up for a loan, how much interest do you think we'd get from Premier League clubs? I'm all for giving our youngsters a chance, but we can't just go into the season assuming they can do the job when they're completely untested at this level.Anyone think Kean Bryan could do a similar job?
Obviously less experienced and rough but he's a solid, battling midfielder too, and he's more than capable of keeping things simple.
I'd like to see us fast track him.
Would he though? Why would he be 20mil based on what exactly? His signing would be nothing like lampards which was always short term.He's as much as a bargain basement buy as Lampard was.

we need home grown players, we are trying to buy the best home grown, sadly that means we have to go for players who in normal circumstances wouldn't get in our first team, WHATS SO FUCKING HARD TO UNDERSTAND,plus he can do a very good job for us in certain games allowing our other players to take some time out and rest up for the big games.

Just based on the price of English players generally. I think someone of Delph's level would go for around that price. That's what Liverpool paid for Jordan Henderson, before he was any good.Would he though? Why would he be 20mil based on what exactly?
