Neil Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 OH well, if it is all true...you wonder how much the PR machine at Villa had a hand in it all. If the clause is true, it all kind of falls into place...works well for Delph of course...but in return has to do the PR video to give fans something they want to hear. Cleverly, the club almost have no-one looking at them...Delph takes the fall for the easiest pay day anyone could ever have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 not a chance he will be a revelation at City. Im so confident of that. MIlner and Barry were clever players, Delph is furthest thing from that he is headless at times. be shocked if he gets 15 league starts next season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
br3ah Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 This is a blow however..... The one thing we have lacked for far too long is goals from centre midfield. I'm not talking 20 goals a season but say 8 or so goals from the centre of the park. Whilst Delph is a fantastic player he wasn't giving us that. Finding those players is tough but like a few others I'm not too disheartened by him leaving providing he is adequately replaced (Gueye is eplacing Cleverly) by someone who can chip in to our god awful scoring stats! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairy In Boots Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I don't really care tbh. That's not sour grapes at all, he's a decent enough player but let's be frank Barry and Milner were better, he won't make it as a cast iron first teamer at oil fc, frankly I don't care if he does. He's combatative but that's about it, he's scored what 4 goals and 10 assists in 100 games? He's looked great when surrounded by sh#t, I think it would have been wrong to build a team around him. The FA cup final should have been a watershed moment for our club, barring Grealish because of his age every single one who took the field and was found wanting (as was Delph and Benteke) should be dispensable to us as fans, simply put they're not good enough and we deserve better. I don't care if we get a reputation for being to picky or to fussy, frankly I'd sell them all tomorrow I support the club not the player, you all should to loyalty and respect work both ways, Delph (or shelf as he'll become known when he's not at the euros) hasn't got any respect for us, nor should we have any for individual players again, this is the modern game. People trying to wish him well, lol city are a rival I hope he does a cruciate day 1, the days of goodwill and sporting fairness died a long time ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl the Pearl Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I wonder how the City fans will react when he sends a shot flying towards the corner flag instead of passing to Aguero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReasonforRevolution Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) We are a team that has been in consecutive relegation battle yet top clubs want our players. Something doesn't equate. I walked away from the final angry because I did not appreciate the effort from the players. Truth is Delph and others were most likely thinking they'll be back next year with another club. For what it is worth I think he is a top player albeit one who has been happy to use us through tough times in his career. Football is a disgrace, Villa is in my blood and it will never change but sometimes I wonder what is the point of supporting anything outside of the top 4. As for the long list of lies he fed us in January there isn't much left to be said. He is not bothered. He will be sorted for life and will not give a second thought to us fans or this football club. I would like to retract some of this. I have made a huge mistake. He is bothered! Up the Villa!!!!!

useless Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I don't think there's much between Milner and Delph myself. But then again I don't really rate Milner save for his last season with us. I mean he's a consistently good player, but nothing special, similar to Delph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 ****, I'd hate to be growing up now only knowing this kind of football. Those who do are City, Chelsea, Arsenal fans, so for them it's great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrinityRoadSteps Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Modern football sucks Modern footballers suck TV deals suck The champions league sucks Agents suck Sky sucks FFP sucks Homegrown player rules suck Man Citeh suck The only thing that doesn't suck are the fans. But we get treated like sponges. "Oh give em some spiel about loving the club and they will lap it up" We pay our money and it all feels so fruitless now. I am 52 and I am pretty much resigned to never seeing Villa win another thing in my lifetime It all sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimzk5 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) Didier agathe was 10 times the player delph is and we easily replaced him. Edited July 10, 2015 by Jimzk5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Be interesting where he plays at City when he's actually allowed to start a game. Current midfield options....Yaya Toure, Samir Nasri, Silva, Fernando, Fernandinho. I can't quite believe Delph will be their sole midfield signing with them hyping up moves for Pogba and others, their fans wouldn't be happy. So really I can only see him being deployed as a wide midfielder like Milner was and he'll lose his England place to Wilshere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
