Confirmed Signing Fabian Delph

[wba83]

I don't see the point in signing someone nearly 30 who will want a high wage and won't get in the team.

It's a squad game these days thou mate and he can play in a few different positions we signed a player when I was a kid from man city in his 30s who was versatile Paul power let's hope he's half as good and susscesful as he was

 

[JLW]

As I say £8m is fine. I just don’t see why we need him.

Maybe J Mc and Besic are as good as gone, so we’ve trimmed the squad and replaced with better quality for 8M

In a side littered with over paid garbage we can now add Delph to the list for the next three years

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

I shudder at having to trot Davies or Schneiderlin out in place of Gomes or Gueye. If you can get someone who can cover, not replace, each for 8m then do it.

Schneiderlin actually did fine when he came in last season, he's just on way too much for a back up

I think signing Delph is probably a good indication that we are to be honest

Nobody believed me and Esk.org when we said we were skint.

Well they aint laughing now are they MIKEY.

Yes I can just imagine the line of clubs after them

 

[arminisgod]

No. Brazil 1970.

to be fair Gerson and Rivelino weren't great

 

[MikeH72]

But like I said before I would rather have a younger prospect there stepping in. The only way this makes sense if McCarthy, Besic and Morgan are sold.

The younger prospect can still be at the club, but what if they’re just nowhere near ready to handle the pressure of Premier League games and the pressure our fans heap on them? We’ve seen how our fans respond to young players making mistakes.

 

[mahermi1]

How old was James Milner when Liverpool signed him from City ? Hardly what you would call a marquee signing, but he done okay didn't he.

I would be ok with this.

Leave me alone.

I'm not sure why you're enjoying this so much, this is one in the eye for your man Brands if Delph is supposed to replace Gana (Hopefully he isn't)

 

[windymiller]

Or maybe selling Schneiderlin and McCarthy instead.

I'm pretty sure Gana's on his bike, tbh. It would be nice to shift crumbly legs and the French shirker but I'm not sure there are too many takers.

 

[Hangleton]

If this happens then the thinking is probably along the lines of looking for a player who knows the league well, who could have helped us out of that winter slump - Probably Gareth Barry's name was brought up - as someone we had in the past with the kind of qualities needed, and they see Delph as something similar.
