I agree, technically very sound, passing excellent - he slotted in very well last season and will develop into a very good central midfielder. His only real weakness is a lack of pace. If we don't sign a DM I'd prefer it if we kept hold of him.

Just said on another thread that I wonder if he could convert successfully to a deeper midfield role. Doubt he has any less pace than Jorginho and he does make tackles.
 
For me Delph is best suited to the role, he rarely loses possession, decent passer and good tackler when required. The added advantage is that he has already adapted excellently to a more varied role to his natural one

I'm sure Delph could contribute in that position but does he has the long game that we are, apparently, looking for? Moreover though, Delph's place in the squad seems to be first and foremost as one of our two principal left backs.
 
We should have found out last season.

Imo Pep was wrong in never giving him a chance in any of his actual positions.

Not convinced that we should have found out last season but trying him there in this preseason might be a good idea. Pep though sees him in training all the time so he will know whether he thinks it is a viable option.

Last season they worked with him on adapting to LB, which may have been enough to cope with. Now may be the time to move on to DM.

He'll miss most of the pre season having only just left the world cup. Might make the last game.
 
He’ll pay us in Lonsdale polo shirts and boxer shorts
Was in one of his shops last week to get runners, he had a lot of 7 month out of date Charlton Athletic and Fulham calendars as well, might get a good deal on them.

Bloody hell, last I checked Ukraine didn't qualify and now you're telling me they made the knockouts?

I thought you were talking about delph as defensive midfield was mentioned as one of his natural positions. Were you seriously talking about Zinch?
