Don't understand this one. He came to us and was ridiculed by most fans before putting on the shirt. Then he instantly performs and helps gives us the best start to the 14/15 season we could possibly imagine. Gets loads of praise, gets injured and then labeled as no good and made redundant! Personally I think we need another 2 experienced/quality CB's and I don't expect us to get both. So why are we not using this fella? Please sherwood, with all your efforts in building an exciting midfield and attacking force please don't let it go to waste by neglecting our defence. Either sign two useful CB's or use the ones we have!

Do you need a pm? Can I have a pm?

Been impressed with Westwood as well!

Is he still average now he's staying?

Besides....loyalty gets you nowhere! Look at agbonlohor, he's been loyal through and through, and the fans can't wait to criticise him and boo him! Fans are just as loyal to players as players are to clubs! Time to get over it and look forward to Gueye!

Buy you, like many others, are confusing the real world - where the average annual salary is £26k to the premiership footballers world where £26k could be your weekly salary. The comparison doesn't stick. The comparison does stick! You never heard the phrase the bigger the bath? They live a complete different lifestyle and 60k a week is prob not extortionate to them. If you told a man who had nothing and lived on the streets that you were on 30k a year and that wasn't enough, so you were ditching that company for a new one which would pay you £60k a year, you don't think he would class you as greedy? Not loyal? He would see that 30k you currently earn as more than enough to live comfortable and not to want more. That's the real world! There are different classes out there, and different lifestyles. Just because we can't comprehend what earning 60k a week would be like, for others its not enough!

You can't say people aren't Villa fans for wanting Delph to fail if he joins them. Once he's gone he's dead to me. I didn't say that lol. What I meant is a lot of football fans who weren't villa fans have criticised delph over the years, ridiculed us villa fans and said that he is average at best. I would like him to prove them all wrong!

Love the amount of people on here saying delph is shit, average and we won't miss him. Every villa fan in the world would rather keep him than lose him, he's a huge loss, but let's not be bitter about it now. He's a good player, and I hope he gets games at Man city to prove all those doubters (that weren't villa fans) what he is actually capable of doing. He did us a favour in Jan, signed a contract, helped keep us up, and we get 8mill for him. Yeah it's not the best figure but he wouldn't of imagined Man city being interested and coming in for him. As much as us fans want loyalty its delphs job at the end of the day, and if you had been offered twice as much wages, to go work at a better company, with better prospects and a real chance to make a name of yourself, you wouldn't turn it down. And if you did it would be because you lack ambition! Put yourself in delphs boots!

Not sure why there is so much debate over this. I was really excited by what I saw in Gil when he played, but sherwood will probably have his reasons for not playing him. He's been injured a couple of times and might not of got back up to speed, might be slight language barriers and he could well be saving him for next season when there is less pressure for us to get results. Like someone said above, he is only 22, still new to the league and learning. He's one for the future I am certain. Won't be going anywhere in my opinion. Sherwood has to pick a team that gets results, the time for players to prove themselves was the first 25 games, we've run out of time to trial players. From what sherwood has done so far I don't think anyone can complain, if we had accumulated over the 38 games the same kind of points he has earned us since taking charge, we would be finishing with 50+ points!

He's fallen out of favour somehow, but I wouldn't look into it too much yet. He' probably using players such as nzogbia and Sinclair for premier league experience, and grealish because he is young and fits his ideal player mould. I think if we stay up he'll play a lot for us next season.

It's okay us playing better but I'd rather us play dead shit and get 3 points! If we don't get at least 3 points from this game and Tuesday's I believe we're down! Need a huge turn around in character this half, and some much awaited luck!

I bet their fans remember the cup win much more than finishing 16th in the Premier League. Personally I'd rather still enjoy going to watch premiership football and go for a cup run when we're more stable in the premier league! My main fear of going down is not the year out of top flight but the fact we might never return! Anyway, I'm going for us to reach the final and stay up....then a takeover in the summer and a top 6 finish next year!

Rather get knocked out by west brom and stay up than win the cup. How much are Wigan and birmingham celebrating their cup wins?

This.....we should do this! 'We will not be interviewed by a manager, we will interview them!' That quote is so true!

And they've played really well, could be more! Another worrying factor for us villa fans!
