weedman Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Come on guys, if Delph was interested in other players opinions of Man City he'd still be here. We signed Sinclair in January and you would imagine with they've spoken more about his time at City in 6 months than just 1 throw away comment from Richards immediately after joining. Delph is looking for an excuse to justify his move. I would say I'm surprised he's thrown Micah under the bus to do it but he's not exactly proven himself to be an honourable chap has he?

Demitri_C Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 i just dont believe a word that comes out of that filithy liar delph. Richards needs to stop talking about city and get on with his future here. It is abit annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I would say Richards will be looking forward to getting up close and personal with Delph on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lloydxmas Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Delph has completely lost the plot in the last week. Clutching at straws with media articles to try and gain some creditability back. The Micah Richard quotes are just bizarre. These players should really employ a PR consultant with all their cash. Hero to zero for no reason whatsoever, what an absolute tool. Half the league probably thought he was a decent professional until last week. Cant wait to see how city fans and all the players around him react when he keeps screwing his shots out for a throw in. He was renowned for being a crap finisher at Villa. City cant afford to have players in their midfield who don't have the complete package. The yaya replacement quotes are laughable. Really struggling to see how he will play more the 15+ games a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 You can just imagine Micah, sitting at home watching Sky Sports, and the headline pops up "Micah Richards encourages Fabian Delph to sign for City." And Micah, thinking "WTF Fabian. Shut up, shut up!! I have to go to training tomorrow!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lloydxmas Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I'd hate to be Fabian's enemy that's for sure. Look how he's treated the club he loves and one of his mates. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted July 19, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 19, 2015 The only quote from Delph that I've seen around this matter is something like "Micah said he enjoyed his time there and it's the best club in the world" The media have turned that into "micah Richards convinced Delph to change his mind" It's horse shit. Stop eating out of the palm of the media's hand. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Delph is definitely trying to make Richards a scapegoat here. Richards came through Man City's academy and obviously has a love the club as does Delph for Leeds United for that matter. Somehow the Villa hating media have morphed that into Richards persuading him to go coupled with Delph desperately trying to put some justification to his appalling behaviour. Time to ignore all this nonsense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I'm in 2 minds about this one: I think that it is silly to be blaming Richards for Delph's departure, but I'm finding his constant declarations of love for them quite tiresome. You might want to remember who pays your wages Micah? This is how I see it as well. It's obviously not somehow Micah's fault, but at the same time, I'm just not interested in constantly hearing his opinions about how wonderful Man City are. I wasn't interested before they purchased our captain at a knockdown price, and I'm still less interested now. He hasn't had a great start really, but it's very early days - let's hope he lets his football do the talking from now on. I'd be very pleased if I never heard him talk about City again until he leaves our club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ooh-Ah Posted July 20, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2015 He came through the ranks at City and had the best moments of his career there. Of course he's going to have kind words for the club. Fans complain about a lack of loyalty and then when a player has good things to say about a former club they lose their mind. As for him convincing Delph to join them, get a f***ing grip. They're two grown men. Firstly if you think Delph had no strong feelings either way and was totally swayed by Micah Richards saying it was a great club, you honestly need your head looked at. It's not a video game. There are myriad factors. The testimony of one ex-player is not going to make a significant difference. Secondly, we're talking about two professional athletes. If Delph asked Richards, professional to professional, about his experience at City of course he isn't going to lie and say it was dreadful and the food at the canteen is always out of date and Joe Hart is a pain in the arse and he thinks the Etihad is haunted. Delph let us down. Turning on our new signing and potentially one of our most important players before he even kicks a ball would be completely ridiculous. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Delph was swayed by the fact that they doubled his pay-check - not because Micah said that the club was really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the man who not once but twice made a statement about loyalty before doing a double twist backflip with a half pike. I don't think intelligence is high on the list of his attributes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it's fairly common, especially if that player is asked outright what he thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
