David-Copenhagen Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I can't see him being off in the summer, why should he sign now if he was wanted by a club he wanted to go to? His agent must have talked with all potentially interested clubs and if he was wanted by e.g. Liverpool, why not wait the 3-4 months and get a huge sign on fee? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadoftrinity Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Every time Delph talks about Villa he always mentions his relationship with Lerner so don't think that should be under estimated in him signing a new deal, fantastic news.

Stevo985 Posted January 25, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted January 25, 2015 I'm glad he's signed. And to be honest I don't mind if he goes in the summer. Not that I want him to be sold, but I'd much rather he left for a decent fee, which he will command, than walk away for free. Whatever money we've signed him up to, it'll be worth it if we get a big fee for him in the summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 25, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted January 25, 2015 We need to start seeing Westwood and cleverly dropped now. Our midfield should be Sanchez, delph and Gill from now on. For once I agree with you. I like Westwood, but I think we should be playing that midfield 3. Westwood cover for Delph or to give us a different option.

Isn't he meant to be Lerner's favourite player? Yeah, Lerner hasn't forgotten Delph's outstanding performance last time he watched us. He's also delighted to hear that Delph has recovered from the ACL injury he sustained soon after that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodytom Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Gets an injury Deals to other clubs fall through Signs a contract to help us get a fee in the summer. That's fine as it helps us out but there is defo something more to this than just loyalty. If it was loyalty, why take so long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlikely anyway. The rest of the post is entirely feasible though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodytom Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I haven't seen it as negative. There's just no way on this planet that Delph has sat for this long without signing a new contract, if the reasons are 100% true. No way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 There's no way Delph would sign a contract just so we get some money for him in the Summer. He's probably just enjoys playing for the club and is thankful for how it stuck by him through his injuries. The only way he'll leave is if we get relegated, and even then I wouldn't be surprised if he stayed to help us out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poitier Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 This is great news, really think Delph and Sanchez can form a top partnership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlwaysAVFC Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) I haven't seen it as negative. There's just no way on this planet that Delph has sat for this long without signing a new contract, if the reasons are 100% true. No way. Well it's pretty likely that he's been considering his options and you can't blame him really. He's made the right choice in the end. Let's home this news, Gil, a win and 2 goals gives everyone a much needed lift. Edited January 25, 2015 by AlwaysAVFC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Great news. We could not have afforded a replacement as good as him if he had left on a free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) Can't say good news and won't say bad news...but now he needs to deliver. Fed up of all this threatening talk about players.....we want Action. Ps If I was a competing manager, I'm not sure I would have signed him. pps These players of ours need to realise....If you don't perform for us .....there will be no dream move.

Sad day for you then because it looks like he's here to stay. Likely our highest earner too. I think it's great news for the club, in many different ways. It's great news for the game generally I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
