Fabian Delph

You're going to love this one.
Apparently Delph failed the City Medical - well thats the story I was told half an hour ago in my local here in the West Mids.
I await my neighbour's inside knowledge on all things Villa tomorrow...

"While City are known for paying six-figures-a-week wages to attract the best players in the game, the club doesn’t like to take chances on player’s fitness when making such an investment. As a result, their medicals are known to be the most strenuous in the Premier League."

Yep, joke.

If Santa Cruz can pass a City medical, then so can the fucking methusela!!!!!!

Careful; he has protected status.

Do tell, a pm will do mate - pics as well if you've got them, I'd love to see what a bald man who looks like a circumcision gone wrong looks like. :-)

Apologies whether this has been covered, I'm am seriously disappointed this hasn't gone through, though to clarify not so much that we didn't get this player, more so the case that perhaps the drip drip negativity in the media about England players & City got to him. The club need to do something about this and soon, the indisputable fact is that if Delph had been linked with ManU Liverpool or probably even Arsenal the press would have been encouraging the deal, wheeling out the same ex players now pundits about how it would be a great move for everybody. This is what has seriously pissed me off.

I doubt that many players would be heavily influenced by the media when it comes to making major career decisions.

He realised he wasn't going to get adequate game-time which would threaten his status as a rising star on the England international scene. That's clearly his priority and his perogitive. My respect for him has gone up as a result and I hope he does well with Villa and England. Meanwhile we move on.
