Confirmed Signing Fabian Delph

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

He's 29 and he's been sitting on benches for the past few years. He plays the position superbly.

Does he necessarily walk into our team if Gueye is still here?

I'm not being funny mate, but imagine if I'd suggested we sign him before any of the links?

I would have been destroyed by the usual suspects. But, now we're linked with him, people are acting like this is a shrewd bit of business

 

[Azza]

Weird is the answer

He's certainly looked a different player under Pep, but Silva isn't Pep and I'd question his desire if he came here.

I can only see it turning out like Williams and Walcott where he'll get comfortable and put in minimal effort.

 

[Efcjake]

He is not leaving city to play second fiddle here, if he comes he plays.

City just signed another one of their previous homegrown players so perhaps they just don't need him to fulfill the quota anymore. They've got Foden and Zinchenko in the squad now as well.

Mad how some of our fans will try and convince themselves that’s something is ok after applauding us not signing 30+ injury prone beige footballers on ridiculous wages. Now it’s ok? What is it lads decide?

Tag them in mate.

We haven’t signed Gomes on the promise of Fabien delph, squad player at most and not to replace igg

What Gomes said is just what everyone’s has said since Moshiri has come but I still don’t see it. Words that mean nothing at the moment unless we back it up

And actually unsellable.

Thing is mate mosh has spent like he said we Would

 

[TheSecondComing]

Tag them in mate.

General theme here, imagine if the boot fits they will appear if they haven’t got me on ignore

Love this just for the fume on here alone. Money well spent state of people with loads of time left in the window and no doubt they have a plan in place for outgoings and further signings that will be more glamorous than this one.

 

[JLW]

I don't think he's coming here to sit on a bench mate

He will get more game time with us than City without being a regular

Some people are going to be made to look VERY stupid (again), and will NOT be happy about it.

You gotta play the odds.

Mate he is 29 if he comes here I think he will play.

You're right it is underwhelming.

He was never going to be anybody's first choice. That's why he's probably not necessarily going to be Silva's first choice.

Gueye being sold will have a big impact on how people see this deal. If Gueye stays and it's obvious that Delph is just competing for a starting spot and we don't have to see Tom Davies for a while I think we could end up looking back on it fondly.
