R.Bear Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Players moving elsewhere to get more money. Wow such a shock. None of us would ever do that... So basically Villa fans are in one of three camps. "He was rubbish anyway" "He'll never play for them" "There's no loyalty in football" I'm sure none of you were crying when Bent walked out on Sunderland? "But he said he was a loyal guy". Yeah and we all said he was awesome and no suddenly he's rubbish. Players leave for more money, grow up and get over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick76 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Can't see anything this morning in reports, thought there would be expansion on it but quiet or have I missed it? Is there still hope the report was wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another that completely misses the point regarding any bad feeling towards delph. Surely it's not that difficult to grasp. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 If you let yourself get into a position where you can be upset or angry by a footballer leaving your club then you need to have a long look at yourself. I was devastated when Dwight left but I was 13 then. World class teammates, CL football, more endorsements, more fame, more money. This is a business, they are businessmen. I don't care what he said, I would have done the same, in a heartbeat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PriceyDownunder Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 This is why I don't get attached to players anymore. Yorke finished it for me. It's the way it is unfortunately Haha, Andy Gray did it for me in 1979. Same here... Cried like it was the end of the world... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodytom Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 What a barrage of negativity this thread has become. Suddenly delph's a bag of shite that nobody wants anyway . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodytom Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I always dread certain players leaving (delph wasn't one of them). Milner Young etc, even Weimann to some extent for a bit. I'm usually over it withing the hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I saw Aston Villa as a business I would've left it a long time ago and as a businessman I have done that a number of times with other businesses in my career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) So instead of going round in circles about whether or not he's the worst human being alive, have we actually had any confirmation of the fee? What's the chances that the clause was for relegation and was reported when city originally enquired a few weeks ago, but we've now agreed on a big fee? Would explain; - Delphs odd change of tune, as in 'if the club accepted an offer its in the best interests of everyone' -That this wasn't done immediately when the low clause was realised -Why City were the only club reported to be interested How would everyone feel if we've taken £20m to boost the squad?

Kingman Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) Now it makes sense. He's taking the armband off, Jack's not happy about it, benteke is praying that he's next and gabby is telling everyone to say nothing about it all Can Some genius please photo shop speech bubbles above them with some classics quotes and send it to the club! Have to say that image is nothing more than the usual PR Propaganda bull shite we have been fed from Faulkner and co over the past few seasons. Que the infamous "Lets pull together" statement to be copied and pasted from the achieves for the 3rd time!

sexbelowsound Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I've had a good think about this and i'm still of the opinion that he is a bit of a word removed. He's gone from being a rich man and a potential club legend to a very rich nobody who will no doubt have a few medals in his cabinet that will mean very little as he will more than likely have watched them be won from the bench. If he had kept quiet and not come out with all this loyalty bollocks then he would leave with my blessing, whether the club put him up to it or not he should have kept quiet. Extremely disappointed in him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care what he said, I would have done the same, in a heartbeat. Like I asked earlier, can you think of another player who made those sort of comments and then left months later? I can't and it's probably because, even though most footballers want to play for more money and bigger clubs, they wouldn't lower themselves to blatantly lying to the fans of their club in that manner. If you'd do the same though, well good for you i guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Just because people are expressing disappointment or whatever doesn't mean to say they're at home being an emotional wreck over the situation. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for proof of this, i suggest anyone who can't grasp why people are annoyed should read the benteke thread when he goes. Guaranteed the attitude towards him will be different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David-Copenhagen Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Yes it is the fact that he said what he did. Had he signed and said - I want to make sure the club gets something as well we would have liked him. But don't pretend to love the club and then leave.

That was probably more the clubs PR department that Delph. Regardless, maybe he got a taste of Wembley or got jealous seeing the Arsenal players lifting the trophy. Maybe he got fed up of being in a relegation scrap, maybe Benteke leaving flicked a switch, maybe he's just happy to get a 40k rise and a huge signing on fee. I dont know but everything about leaving is an improvement. I really dont care what he said, what footballers say means nothing to me to be honest.
