VillaChris Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Paul Lambert showed a lot of faith in Delph. By 2012 he'd been here 3 years, missed half of it through injury and didn't look very convincing in the first half of 2012 but Lambert stuck with him and was rewarded with some very good displays in 2013. Given the financial constraints many managers would've probably cut their losses and sold him on to get some decent money. I doubt Delph was posting champagne bottles to teammates like some were doing when O'Neill left for example. He's just going through a really poor run of form atm it happens.

troon_villan Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 It's weird. He looked totally bereft of confidence before the contract and not much has changed since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJT123 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Think you are all overreacting. Was brilliant last season and the season before. Hampered with injury this year, he will get back to his best soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 What Delph needs to do is start playing well and shut the **** up. I'm sick of hearing what he has to say. I dont care what any of the players have to say. Start picking up results, nothing else matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lp_villa830 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/fabian-delph-aston-villa-players-8648478 Surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet. Delph hinting that the players maybe weren't giving it 100%, shocking if true. *On my phone and not sure how to do short links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 It does make me wonder if Lambert did lose the dressing room, or at least, a lot of respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This Could Be Rotterdam Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Does anyone else think sherwood will make Delph captain? Perfect captain material for me, and surely if we're just going for someone who's been at the club for years, he has to be a better option that gabby!

romavillan Posted February 15, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted February 15, 2015 Interesting that Delph says Lambert was great with the "majority" of the team. What do you think he means? Must be a reference to Ireland, Bent etc. even if it's referring to players still here too there will always be players who get on better with the regime than others, nature of the beast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 We've probably at least doubled this guys money, he simply need to show a hell of a lot more. He needs to be making more advanced runs and needs to drive forward more with the ball at his feet. He's playing it far too safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 He really is overrated, would have no problem cashing in on him in the summer. Offers nothing and all ive seen him do today was set up a Leicester chance 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't he on like £30k before his deal? Not hard to imagine that he'd be given something in the Darren Bent territory given the interest he was attracting with 6 months to go.

Butterfingers Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 If I recall correctly, HH stated that Delph was our highest paid player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonoridge91 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 He really is overrated, would have no problem cashing in on him in the summer. Offers nothing and all ive seen him do today was set up a Leicester chance Harsh. He won a lot of the ball today. I thought he was very energetic especially in the 2nd half. Some people are so harsh, they remember when a player loses the ball but never seem to remember when they win it back. Delph won the ball at least 3 times in the 2nd half when Leicester were essentially starting a counter attack. Such important challenges. Not saying he was brilliant today but he did put a shift in. He can certainly play a lot better though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
