romavillan Posted May 4, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted May 4, 2015 I got pretty much laughed at for suggesting before he resigned that we should be doing everything we can to keep him and build a team around him as he'll turn into a proper player. I never thought we'd see it in this season though! He really could be somethign very special. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redditch Ruffian Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Here's to you, captain Fabian Delph. Villa loves you more than you will know. Woah, oh, ohhhhhhh! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Field Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I have just recently been able to start going to matches (blame geography) and I am just about learning all the songs, BUT probably the player that deserves a song the most, one of our players of the season, who signed a new contract against all odds, one of our stars and best performer and our captain does not have a song ! please somebody that is creative, make something up ! He really really deserves it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante_Lockhart Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 When he was young The pitch length he would run He was scoring goals just for fun And assists to Ron.. Livin' large We think of all the goals he ever scored Match balls that he has stored And players he's floored.. FAAAB-IIIII-AAAAN DEEEELPPHHHHH I wanna be..

bobzy Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Does anyone else wonder if the players are responding not just to Sherwood and all he's seemed to bring but also playing under Delph as captain? I know we've procrastinated over the virtues and impact of a captain in modern day football on here previously but I get the feeling that the rest of the squad look up to Delph despite his relative young age. I think when you have an average or unassuming captain it probably doesnt necessarily affect a team much either way but I think a genuinely good captain can have a majorly galvanising effect, which is what I believe we have in Fabian. I agree with this. I think Vlaar is a good captain in the "traditional" sense. He's got a sensible head on him, organises people well and will give strong commands. However, Delph is much more of a character. He's got a sort of... cheeky chappy thing about him. I think the players as a group get on well (this was always said during Lambert's darkest days as well), but having Delph as a likeable yet strong personality on the pitch will likely improve things further. When he signed the new deal, I was one of the first to say he simply doesn't give enough end product. Runs with the ball, loses it. Runs with the ball, passes to the opposition. It was happening every single game. Now, however, he's linking up everything beautifully. The introduction of Grealish has helped as well. They seem to interchange in tight spaces down the left on a regular occurance - in fact, Delph seems to play pretty much as a left winger at times. His current form is a joy to behold. He's starting to fulfil the promise of that £8m purchase many years ago. Potential club legend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I put this in the chants thread, it's pretty simple and to the tune of my old man's a dustman... Oh Fabian Delph is magic, he wears a magic hat He could've left the Villa but he said no f*ck that He passes with left foot, he passes with his right And when we win the FA Cup we'll sing this song all night.... Well I thought it was good anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Here's to you, captain Fabian Delph. Villa loves you more than you will know. Woah, oh, ohhhhhhh! We need to save this tune for when Callum Robinson becomes the next super striker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, he has been fantastic under Sherwood, and Benteke, Delph, Grealish is a fantastic little triumvirate. I also think Clark is a better and more natural captain.

Folski Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 When you are watching Delph it's like he's defying science, he looks like he has no bones at times the way he wiggles his way out of jams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunnski Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 His back heel to prevent a corner near the end of the game was top class and set up a counter attack. Such a cool guy and a cool player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
