Nabby Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/aston-villa-transfers-manchester-city-6022312 Micah Richards fears Fabian Delph and Christian Benteke could both leave Aston Villa this summer. Richards is just beginning his career at Villa on a free transfer from Manchester City but is worried he might not have new England star Delph as a team-mate for long, while striker Benteke could move to Liverpool. Benteke is expected to tell Villa that he wants to quit the club, though the Anfield giants aren't keen to meet the £32.5m asking price. And Delph has asked Richards - who spent 13 years at the Mancunian Blues - about life at the Etihad. “Delph’s been unbelievable for Aston Villa. Every player wants to play at the highest level,” said defender Richards. “He won’t want to go there as a squad player, but if he gets assurances that he’s going to play, then the decision is his. And if he wants to play in the Champions League... Neville Williams Fab captain: Delph was made skipper by Tim Sherwood “I wouldn’t say, 'Don’t go to Man City' because if he’s playing well, he’ll get in. Joe Hart plays every week, but he’s world class. “People think Manuel Pellegrini doesn’t like English players, but it’s nothing to do with that. If you are good enough, you will play. If Delph is going to be given the chance to play at Manchester City then it’s hard to turn down.” Richards revealed that Delph has gone to him for advice. “He’s asked me what I thought about the situation but I don’t want to tell him to go there and then he’s not playing and he’s ringing me up,” said Richards. “It’s a difficult season because it’s the European Championship [at the end of it]. If you find yourself playing only 10 games and someone else has a really good season, then he’s [the other man] going to play, isn’t he?” And Richards said of Benteke's potential move to Liverpool: “That would be a big blow and we’ll need a new goalscorer if he goes - he seemed to win games on his own for Villa last season.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 So there is interest from City and Delph is considering the move basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) If Richards wants to be part of a successful Villa team, He should be telling Delph whatever it takes to get him to stay at the club. Not giving him advice on what it might be like at Man City, tell him it'll be rubbish. Edited July 7, 2015 by useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condimentalist Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Silly Micah. Correct. Keep your mouth shut mate. Well, I'm disappointed. I didn't think there was anything in these rumours, but perhaps there is. I still think he'll stay, FWIW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 just being honest with a friend. If I was offered a job and a friend worked for them previously I would ask for their opinion. Naturally footballers will do the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Sounds like Micah has warned Fab of the dangers of the move he is/was clearly pondering so the ball is in now in his court. He can either stay with us and keep his England place or sit on a bench for most of the season and at best do the same for England. I doubt if he is even their first or even second midfield target for this window which should tell him something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 There is a filmed interview with Richards from the kit launch. Didn't hear him talk about delph... Surely that would've been recorded as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I really wish he'd have just said nothing. Why do players feel the need to talk to the press so freely?

omariqy Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I think we've established there was interest from Man City, doesn't mean that it hasn't already been rebuffed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCarew Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I really wish he'd have just said nothing. Why do players feel the need to talk to the press so freely? One minute they are too closed, next minute they are too free in the press. Bloke is just saying the advice he gave a friend. Simple. If Delph goes, he goes. If Benteke goes he goes. Both our best players leaving would be a nightmare. But whats pissing me off is the constant media speculation on both players when quite frankly it seems nothing actually seems to be happening. Rant over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 He's not a first choice for City by a long chalk. Was up in Manchester yesterday and the local paper was still claiming they're putting in a 60m bid for Pogba. If they pulled that off that would kill the Delph move stone dead.
