Were we the only interested in signing him? Strange if we are little he would deign to come here from a big club like City!!!!!

ON the face of it though a good signing .

I don't think he was on offer....we approached City. Brands must have been looking for a steady 'proper footballer' to complement the youngsters and bring a winning mentality to the group. Good thinking by Brands....again.
 
Schiederlan was getting similar reviews after he first signed.

Delph is not someone who we have no knowledge of, he's not a new lad coming from a new country, he's been playing in this country since he was17 I think. I knew what he was about, how good a player he was, injuries are the concern. Schneiderlin has never been on Delphs level, couldn't get a game at Utdbut stood out for Southampton,Delph played for one of the best sides this country has seen when he was fit and out of position as well.
 
What gets me (might have been said on this thread already) is his determination. He's not the biggest or strongest but he never pulls out any challenges or gives up on anything. He'll pick up a few bookings but his drive to win is impressive. This, along with his experience and leadership, gives me high hopes for him. If he can stay fit, I think he could be a top performer.

More than anything I think Delph was brought to the club to bring a winning attitude to every game. He commented on that himself recently.
