Woodytom Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Well he was obviously asked a question about fabian and he answered. That's pretty much a response for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) Well he was obviously asked a question about fabian and he answered. That's pretty much a response for me. Which has already been refuted by other posters in a way that is better than I can be arsed to give. He won't have met Fabian Delph, never mind talked to him about his future. At this point Wilkins opinion on such things is worth piss all in a practical sense. That should be obvious? Edited July 2, 2015 by dont_do_it_doug.

Woodytom Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) I'd say it's woath more than a conversation with some randomer on a night out. This 'hasn't met the players' argument is really weak. The club's hierarchy will have a good idea. Edited July 2, 2015 by Woodytom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodytom Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Put it this way. I find it very hard to believe that ray Wilkins won't have spoken to somebody about possible ins/outs, players etc. Would be pretty piss poor from all parties. After all he's there to coach players. When I used to dj at new venues I wouldn't rock up to my first gig blind on what I'd be dealing with in terms of venue/equipment/possible crowd.

PieFacE Posted July 2, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) Interestingly on SkyBet he's now favourite to stay at Villa at 1/2. I know that doesn't mean a lot but, something must have shifted the odds. EDIT: Beaten to it Edited July 2, 2015 by PieFacE 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Almost annoying. I was going to lump a load more on him but they are the worst odds it's been. I've put £60 on so far, that doesn't come close to my confidence that he'll stay. Was hoping he'd still be at 3.5... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted July 2, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 2, 2015 Yeah 3.5 was really quite high and definitely worth a punt considering the speech he gave 6months ago about loyalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Oh we do get ourselves in rather a pickle about nothing don't we. Every transfer window even the January ones there's been at least one person convinced on here that Benteke was moving....he's still here so I'm pretty confident Delph will be here on September 1st.

lexicon Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 He could be lining up in a midfield of himself, Gueye and Praet next season. Awesome - he deserves to be playing with a better standard of midfielder than say, Westwood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I know they are not very reliable but it's always worrying when these reports come up. Delph to sign for Manchester City for 8m pounds The 25-year-old will move to the Etihad Stadium on a long-term contract that will see his wages rise to £100,000-a-week, though he has only been assured of squad player status By Paul Clennam Follow Goal UK on Twitter Manchester City are on the verge of making Aston Villa midfielder Fabian Delph their first major signing of the summer, Goal can confirm.Delph will move to the Etihad Stadium in an £8 million deal and sign a long-term contract that will see his wages rise to £100,000-a-week as City continue their home-grown recruitment drive.The England international understands he will be a squad player at City but has been assured he will be granted a similar level of first-team opportunities to what James Milner enjoyed in his five-year stint at the club.Delph was set to be a free agent this summer before signing a new four-and-a-half-year contract at Villa in January, but the deal included an £8m release clause that City have wasted little time in activating.Villa have already moved to replace the outgoing 25-year-old by signing Senegal international midfielder Idrissa Gueye for £9m from Lille.But losing one of the emerging leaders of his squad will be a significant blow to boss Tim Sherwood, particularly given that captain Ron Vlaar is out of contract and actively considering offers from rival Premier League clubs as he weighs up his future.Christian Benteke is also the subject of serious interest from Liverpool, though Goal understands the Merseysiders are unwilling to meet the £32.5m release clause that Villa are demanding be met if they are to part with their star striker.City, meanwhile, hope the signing of Delph will prove just the start of a significant summer transfer spend as they pursue key targets Raheem Sterling and Paul Pogba to reignite their Premier League title aspirations.
