Confirmed Signing Fabian Delph

[Armaghtoffee]

I really like the look of him. Great turn of pace, an eye for goal, can really spot a pass

What sort of engine though Prev?

 

[The Penalty Box Dancer]

Is that at left back though?

I don't think so. He was great for them at left back but I assume he would be third choice left back and more of an option for the midfield

Man City fans can't wait to get rid. They say he is too injury and mistake prone. Worst player in their squad last season. I don't recall seeing much of him last season, not sure how often he played. Different standards at City compared to here, just seems a bit of a rash signing. What's the difference between him and say Besic or McCarthy?

At least we're rolling the dice by signing Delph. We know Besic and McCarthy aren't good enough for this level anymore.

As people we love tell everyone when we get bargain in daily life but when your club hasn't spent 45 million on an untried and untested player from overseas with a name most arl fellas in the park end can't pronounce.... they're turd.

I thought only Koeman and Walsh bought in 28, 29 years old.

 

[Steve Wigan]

Delph for £8million/10million is a steal in the present market. Another option in midfield and at left back. A Silva type as well, good technically, and a proper footballer.

Every Premier League manager, past or present, will have bought a player older than 28. Mainly because they realise you need experience in your squad and not to pander to a pants-piddler

Walsh would have bid £30m and been argued up to £45m

 

[Buckers]

Hopefully this is a sign that some of the D teamers are moving on. Just hope it doesn't mean Gana is going, but I have a feeling he will be.

 

[Pabbers]

Lets have a little context and be open minded.

One of the best players for the champions league winner last season, was a “city reject”!!

For £30m, they do.

 

[cronullasharks]

Welcome the new Tom Cleverley

 

[BernieH]

He a good player is Delph, wasted at City because he's not elite level and they needed HG quota. He's a useful addition to the engine room if a tad unspectacular.

Gana and Schneirderlin are 30 this year. It’s not like our CM are full of kids. On top that we are waiting to get rid of McCarthy and Besic.

I am not against the signing of course. It’s up to Brands and Silva.

PS: You bedwetting dom. What do you want again? Fingering again.

 

[Blueclouds]

Isn't he always injured?
