Confirmed Signing Fabian Delph

[billybeeru]

In many ways I love Brand’s thinking that it’s better to sign lower ranked players from top teams than a lower ranked teams top player.

Obvs each case is individual.

Well yeah exactly.

Would you rather Andre Gomes and Fabian Delph or Yannick Bol....

Ah crap that actually happened didn’t it?

The flip side of that argument is Richarlison and Gana vs. Rooney, Eto'o, Cleverley, Darron Gibson, Eliaquim Mangala, Phil Neville, etc. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Piss

I think that you should stick to 4 letter words in future.

Look at the state of some of the replies on Twitter because Gomes changed his number.

Seen someone kicking off it will hurt us commercially

Good stuff, but may as well read 'Games played for the infinitely better Man City'.

I don't care if he only cost 10m he's badly turd and not what we need, watch us sell Gueye now...

Pointless stat. He’s played in the best team who has by miles the most possession against the majority of teams who are scared to press.

All stats are pointless.

All stats are pointless.

For me that is true the only stat that counts is scoring more goals than the other team.

[Kantareller]

Needs an age stat as complement

 

[RomanReigns]

so that stats just confirm he's a crab then?

The more i am seeing of this guy (now that i am actually bothered about him) the more i like him and i am thinking he could be a really good addition to the squad all round. Definitely worth the transfer fee anyway when you consider some of the expensive and useless numpties we have acquired in recent years.

Don't see any reason for anything other than a little applause for Brands in this deal

He was almost free
Quality in his bones
Probably at his peak for the next two seasons
Bags of experience at the highest level

Only doubt is his injury record recently but otherwise this fell into the no-brainer category for me

He won't change us, but he will strengthen us in an area that is always important!

Gomes can’t get near him in training. People will be surprised how quick this lad is too
