davidplatt7 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 really cant wait for delph to come back now!already getting excited about the prospect of him and ireland in the middle,albrighton on the right downing on the left ash young just sitting behind gabby,so much pace and young british talent!i no i will get slated for this cos petrov is our captain but delph is his natural replacement and has the ability to be an absolute monster if he comes back from his acl injury 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Maybe ask the Gen if we can get an update on him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry'sboots Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 That midfield would be fairly weak defensively! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitsend Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Hopefully he's back from injury sooner rather than later seeing as I've just ordered the away shirt with his name on the back. Anyone got an update on that btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I'd like to see Delph get better defensively.. but I've always seen him as more of an attacking midfielder. It'd be more likely that Delph would rotate with Ireland/ Young for attacking roles IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Delph can get stuck in without being an out and out defensive midfielder. He just has the added bonus of being very useful going forward and a superb, possibly the best at the club, range of passing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majkee Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I can see him replacing Petrov in the future (Delph has better passing, vision and creativity imho). Edit: typo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regular_john Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Delph isn't afraid to put in a challenge, unfortunately he takes out his man more often than not. Delph in a defensive role means playing most of the season with 10 men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barry'sboots Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 That midfield would be fairly weak defensively! Have you seen Delph's tackles - ouch! Yes, but I don't see him as a DCM. I can see the following: ------------------------- Flamini ------------------------- ----------------------------------- Downing/Delph ------ -------------- Ireland ------------------------------------ Albrighton ------------------------------------------- Ash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpaywasawesome Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I think Delph will eventually grow to be as important to us as Milner was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisNichollsToe Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 That midfield would be fairly weak defensively! Thats easily fixed. If the oposition score four, we score five Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 wenger says ramsey will be back around november? considering the bloke had his leg snapped in two shouldnt delph be back around that date or sooner or is his injury worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 17, 2010 Moderator Share Posted August 17, 2010 A broken bone is a lot more straight forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted August 17, 2010 Moderator Share Posted August 17, 2010 Delph's injury is way way worse than a broken leg. I'm not sure we will see anything of Delph before March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maradona10 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 He's even said that it'll be the latter part of the season he'll be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 17, 2010 Moderator Share Posted August 17, 2010 I'm going to say we don't see him this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
granville Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I'm going to say we don't see him this season. Why? :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 17, 2010 Moderator Share Posted August 17, 2010 Because I am led to believe that the injury is that serious. EDIT : Put it this way - if a player is looking to be back around March - and a player is going to be optimistic about these things - it's not a huge stretch to say that he may very well not make it for March and you're near season's end at that point anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
