Fabian Delph

[SWP's back]

Like Rodwell and Garcia? Like Fernando?

Top clubs don't buy bench players to add squad depth. They buy top players to improve their first 11, which in turn moves a previous starter to the bench.

But that takes some advanced thinking and maybe you struggle with that.

Oh my fucking Christ.

I was right first time, you really don't understand football at all.

£8m? Has there been some mix up and Delph is actually not English and not playing in the Premier League? Because if it's true he's only costing £8m then that is an incredible bit of business.

It's down to opinions I guess, but in my opinion, Fernando wouldn't get in Hull's midfield. A truly dreadful footballer.

Milner was great when playing wide against top opposition in making us solid, but in central midfield he stunk the joint out. Doesn't have the speed of thought, tactical awareness or first touch to play centre midfield at the top level.

Delph is a huge upgrade on both in central midfield. He moves the ball quickly, picks the intelligent pass, reads the game well, has great pace, drive and energy. If he was called Delphinho, played for Zenit and we were only judging him on Youtube clips, people would be excited by this one. I think he's going to surprise a lot of people.

Very succinct and accurate. We all know the reason for buying Delph, but a player doesn't have to be spectacularly good at anything to make a difference to a team. It's about giving our key players a better platform, and his energy and pace might just do that. Add in the hg element, and this is a sensible signing. We need pace and energy, and we just bought some. Give him a chance.

Only on BM can a new player be slagged off without kicking a ball. This might be novel to some, but why don't we wait and see how he does, then get back in the ring with each other again to claim the high ground. Its embarrassing lads

I completely agree, On the face of it i have to admit i wasn't overly excited about him signing but the more I think of it I can see him getting plenty of game time. At least with Delph i have the confidence that he will have a serious chance of getting into the starting lineup unlike, Sinclair and Rodwell.

We are in the process of buying Sterling and attempting to buy Pogba you balloon.

We have some fucking idiots that support us.

There are a few on here having the same issue been around the block with it yesterday seems they want a squad of 22 world class players of which makes all the sense in the world to them......

 

[dachoosen1]

Think he will be more important to the squad then people give him credit for, if we play three in cm even if we sign pogba I think he will play as much as fernandinho, his energy in cm will be vital to cover yayas runs. I'm a big fan of fernandinho but he is 30 and yaya is 32 a bit of youth and energy in cm will be pretty useful. He know the league and cups well so we can rest yaya or pogba for the big games.

Thankfully most dont go to the match. Reminds me of the old goal.com comments
Cringey as fuck.

We're haggling over the matter of £5m with hedge fund sociopaths for Sterling and competing with the European Champions for Pogba.

I very much hope they sign because we need to stop shuffling the pack and start improving the first 11.
