Fabian Delph

[shak]

I know Newcastle spoke with him a couple of years ago. Might be a good move...

Would be, but with no manager and no money I don't think they're in a position to make a move.

They have the money....

Everton are closing in on deal for Manchester City midfielder Fabian Delph. Negotiations between both parties are continuing with a fee reported to be in the region of £8 million. [@_pauljoyce]

Marco Silva is ready to make Delph a 'key addition', with his experience fitting the bill to add quality at a good price. There has been competition for Delph at home and in Europe, but the chance to stay in the north west has given Everton the upper hand.

Money back is fine

What we paid for him. Problem is his injury record, no club will pay a lot more for a player who averages about 15 games per year. Wish him well, cheerio.

Wow, at this rate it'll be £4m by next week. We need to hurry.


(With depreciation, an £8m fee will allow us to show a £6.4m profit on our books this year. Good enough.)

Awful fee if true. HG, NT player (England captain a few months ago) and very versatile. Should get 15-20m in this market (Mings 20m, Drinkwater 35m, Targett 17m, Solanke 20m)

His wages and injury record will be a big reason why the fee is on the low side. City have a choice; keep him and let him go for free next season or free up some wages and pocket small fee now. If Pep doesn’t see him featuring much this season then I can see why we would accept 8m.
