tylerreznik Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Commitment to Villa aside I just couldn't see him signing for Man City in a month of sundays... After the Ireland + cash debacle I'd be super wary of any swap deals, way better to get maximum cash value when selling players and reinvest how we see fit. Borini's true value is 4-5 mill max, not really much if any better than Weimann... Also even at 25 mill all cash, we'd really struggle to recruit anybody to fill his shoes, no-one is indispensable but in our current fragile state we should be building a new team around Delph, just too big a gap to plug with the squad we have right now.

The Fun Factory Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Drivel. Delph is going nowhere unless someone puts in a silly (ie over 25 million) offer. If anyone is to leave it will be more likely to be Benteke given he has only 2 years left on his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Does anyone think Liverpool might have guessed at or been told of the buy out clause in Fab's new contract? £12m & Borini (who no doubt they would value @ £10m minimum because he has appeared/scored for them once or twice) along with a 12-month loan for another player would be about £10m below a £32.5 clause which would be par for the course for them.

VillaChris Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Hearing Trent say it's rubbish has eased my fears. However, this was an actual conversation TS had with an agent that Jonny listened into. I know Jonny and he wouldn't lie about that kind of stuff. He is as flabbergasted as us. Hearing Trent say it's rubbish has eased my fears.

Gompedyret Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Or hopefully, like this: 'It's being discussed': AGENT - "Fancy 12mil, Borini and Ibe on loan for Delph?" SHERWOOD (hopefully) "P*ss off, you clearings in the woods." I really hope there isn't a release clause in Delph's contract. He's just going to get better, and in a few years he'll be immensely valuable, both as a player and as a marketable asset, being established in the national side and in his prime. Hopefully he's still with us at that point, for us to fully reap the benefits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwpzxjor1 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 What would 'silly money' be for Delph? In a world where sterling and his transfer request are 50m, Delph, as captain and a new contract, with man city absolute desperate for home grown players, I'd say Delph would have to be in a similar bracket. Reports city enquired what it might take and we just outright told them to jog on, hope that's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could get 2 Delphs for that I reckon. 'Delph' is starting to sound funny now. Delph. Edited June 24, 2015 by tomh621 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightysasquatch Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Sky saying a move to city for Delph is looking likely, odds at 1/4...I've no idea what that means. I just can't seen Delph thinking going there will further his career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted June 24, 2015 Moderator Share Posted June 24, 2015 Going to City the year before the European Championships would be madness. If he stays here, has a good season, goes into the Championships with some momentum and then moves on next summer then you could understand it even if you didn't like it. Thankfully I think Delph has a fairly good head on his shoulders and he'll already know this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Jonny and he wouldn't lie about that kind of stuff. He is as flabbergasted as us. I have no idea myself whether he would lie as I've never met the bloke. However why would TS have a journalist listening in to calls he has with agents. Sounds more like this is something an agent has said to Gould and they would have plenty of reasons to lie!!

sne Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) City just lost Sinclair, Milner and Richards. That's 3 English players they'll have to replace/can't use unless they wan't to avoid having an even more reduced squad next season. If they can't get their preferred targets like Sterling and Wilshere I'm sure they'll start looking at cheaper options like Delph and others. Then it just becomes a matter of money against loyalty and role in the team Edited June 24, 2015 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted June 24, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) He'd be a very foolish boy to go there. He'd be a big loss for us and he's unlikely to be a regular first teamer there. But looking at the positive. Given his age, ability, nationality, england caps, the proximity of him signing a new contract, and the club that's buying him... we should receive around £500 billion for him.

Guest av1 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 As much as I love Delph, he simply isn't good enough to be a regular in a team whose aspirations include league and champion league success (IMO of course) It would be absolute madness on his part to join City. Thankfully, as BOF said above, I think Delph has good head on his shoulder's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
