Player Topic: Fabian Delph (2015/16)

It said in the guardian this morning that it's a measure against fatigue in light of his injury problems and lack of match fitness. Sounds like a prudent measure more than anything.

Fingers crossed it is only fatigue.

It's looking pretty clear that 'his' u-turn this summer was in fact ours; we probably pulled the plug due to dubious fitness, looked to other homegrown midfield targets and after a week concluded that the relatively small outlay of £8m and being able to fill an essential HG spot made it a gamble worth taking.

It was definitely his u-turn in the summer, not ours.

It was definitely, definitely Delph's u-turn. Everything points towards that.

Nice to see a bit of perspective.

it's all over the place, very difficult to contain their jubilation

Looks like we have signed another English crock following in the footsteps of Rodwell.

Bollocks, sounds more like he has had ONE injury which he is struggling to fully recover from and one he does it will hopefully be fine(and you will be able to stop being a drama queen)

He's a good player and could make an impact here but if he isn't doing the business by January we should look to part-ex him for someone like Ryan Bertrand and sign Witsel.

We need 4 central midfielders minimum available given the number of games ahead and the age of our first choice two; Fernandinho got burnt out in his first season to the extent where Garcia was preferred to him, it's inevitable given his all-action style that he'll get tired if he isn't rested.

Our u-turn? Are you serious? Sorry mate but that is just ridiculous. The idea that we pulled the plug then had a look around for a week is farcical.

Their jubilation is only superficial. They feel pain, mainly.

 

[sir baconface]

We're all fcuked.

I hate international breaks. My hometown MLS team is in the semi finals, if we lose our best players to injury, we're f-cked.....

there are imo too many internationals, who really gives a flying fuck about them anyway, its turgid shite
