VillaChris Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 If our manager's wild claim that he's the best midfielder in the country is anything to go by - he won't have a problem getting in the citeh team He just said English didn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Turned down city for us before, he's got a good thing going here and will be 28 (?) when he enters his last year of his contract so still plenty of time for that move, stay with us, captain us, we get a bit better next season, play for England at the euros, maybe even we continue to get better, play for England at the World Cup then go get yourself that move, he's got that kind of time in my head But then footballers don't think like that Do agree though, doubt very much city are after him, the press make too much out of this home grown stuff and buying English players, in reality it's Chelsea that struggle with the squad registration and they aren't buying English, they just leave gaps in the squad (if you register 24 players rather than 25 then the +1 counts as a home grown) or buy the likes of fabregas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eames Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I don't doubt City are interested if for no other reason than to keep their home grown quotient up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBM Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 delph is too english for the top 4 clubs, hed be a bench warmer there, at least at villa he will be a regular starter with captaincy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_c Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I don't doubt City are interested if for no other reason than to keep their home grown quotient up. And because of this he should be worth twice any valuation to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GENTLEMAN Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) City have upped their original offer for Raheem. It looks like they are on the prowl for young English talent because that has obviously worked well for them in the past.

skarroki Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 City have upped their original offer for Raheem. It looks like they are on the prowl for young English talent because that has obviously worked well for them in the past. I don't get their obsession with Raheem. He won't even be part of their 25 man squad so won't count towards home grown players. What's the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I had started to get fed up of Delph, but to be fair he had a great run-in after signing his contract extension. The sad thing is City probably would be interested in order to meet their homegrown quota, but it would be a very very poor choice from Delph, he's nowhere near good enough to start regularly for them, and it would end his nascent England career in his infancy. I would really hope he has too much common sense. That said, I do wonder who City are going to pick up, they really must be in desperate need of English talent at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Going nowhere this summer, in my humble opinion and fwiw of course 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 If James Milner was good enough to get regular game time for Man City then so is Delph, even more so in my opinion. I don't think he'll leave us but at the same time I wouldn't be surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I mean when he signed his contract I'm guessing no team as good as Man City were showing an interest. And if they throw a stack of money at him you never know. He might not be motivated by money, but if he's offered enough surely he'd have to start thinking about the people he could help with that money. I wonder if he has a release clause.

Richard Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 If he goes next summer after a good euro championship he goes with good wishes If he goes this summer and hardly plays it risks his England place and he does not want that As I said, IMHO FWIW, he's going nowhere this summer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted June 17, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted June 17, 2015 I don't think he'd even be interested in going anywhere this summer anyway. Really not worried about this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I don't doubt City are interested if for no other reason than to keep their home grown quotient up. Let's hope young "home grown" players can now see the potential down side of being signed for this purpose and the damage it can do to their development as footballers (albeit they become millionaires). The Milners and Sinclairs of the world don't tell a great story in this respect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
