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.

plus he has bags of energy that we desperately need in our midfield, two footed, a decent tackler, an English international and proven at premiership level....nah we don't need anyone like this... ???

Correct. We really don't
 
An whole host of reasons could of factored into why he decided not to move employers.

People need to become a little more thick skinned and not give a fuck about what the Gutterpress may write or what their Facebook friends may say after the headline to please the masses ensues: Delph Snubs City!!!

When this just isn't the case.

Gold luck to Fabian Delph at Aston Villa. If be feels it will be more beneficial for him there or wherever than at City then that's his choice.

We will have to look elsewhere.
 
In an attempt to see into the future...at no point next season will anyone ever say...if only we had fabian Delph playing for us!

Not looking for a fight honest
I really wanted him at City but surely we hopefully by next season will have brought through or signed another player of his ilk

Your point is fair however there isn't many better home grown in that position that represent value for a squad player. 8m for a squad player Is not too bad if you pay 30 40m for one then questions start to be asked
 
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.

Oh aye yeah, sure he loves being a figure of hate and ridicule over the few weeks because he said Welcome to Manchester and the lad literally pulled out when at the stadium
 
would have liked him in the squad and feel he could have improved himself with us

but if we can't do at least equally as well elsewhere in the transfer market then someone aint doing his job properly senor

OK pall I will leave it there.
But hopefully one of the homegrown will break through in the next twelve months

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...........

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.
