If he was willing to come back and showed that on pitch I'd forgive If he was willing to come back it would take absolutely massive balls. I'd respect him for that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwishIwasalivein1982 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I don't care what he did if he gets us promoted I'm happy we're not in the position to take the moral high ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he's a busted flush now but for a number of years he was a key player in a top 6 team He was still a poor footballer and as proved, a poor professional so he isn't wrong.

skarroki Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 If he comes back and scores the winner in the play-off final, then Lerner releases a statement saying he forced Delph to leave so the club could cash in on him, we could make a movie about it.

theboyangel Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Delph would surely be a no go. if he were available for loan, there'd be plenty of offers from the prem for him to pick from let alone him making the bizarre decision to return here. Cannot see it happening one bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Kendrick's Dentist Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I'd be delighted if Delph returned. Think he was more naive than malicious in how he handled his exit, and by all accounts he was a brilliant example at the club up until his departure. On the pitch, he's miles better than any of our current CMs and would be the best in his position in the league. Matt Law is a respectable journalist, so I'm confident that we have an interest. It does seem a bit of a stretch to expect him to choose us in our current predicament though. Don't fancy Cleverley back at all. People seem to forget how poor he was for us, barring a six-game period when Sherwood first came in. He's been shocking for Everton and is being jeered by his own fans at a 3rd straight club. Delph, Brady, Hourihane and Lansbury would all be improvements on what we have, to varying degrees.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted January 6, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted January 6, 2017 He's a snake, but he's a snake that's not bad at football. I'd be happy if we got him back. I don't have to like him as a person for him to play well. He would be by far our best midfielder if he were to come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Kendrick's Dentist Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Just now, Eastie said: Cleverly is this league would be considerably better than he was in the premiership. People said the same when he made the drop from United to Villa, and even when the likes of Westwood dropped down a league. Cleverley is a poor player with no confidence imo. Turned us down previously after taking him on loan too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted January 6, 2017 Moderator Share Posted January 6, 2017 I'd love to see Cleverley here - I think he struggled a bit with expectation when he arrived, people were expecting the new Ian Taylor, a player that could get into the box, support and do things - for me he's not that, he's a running machine, he's all legs, more Boateng than Taylor, I think he's exactly what we need, there's so little energy in our midfield and for me I'd take energy over quality on the ball in terms of what would do us most good right now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
