villan-scott Posted June 28, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted June 28, 2015 Oh dear oh dear doesn't sound good. How does delph telling a poster here in person that he's not going anywhere not sound good? The fact Percy has ran with it too gives it more credence in my eyes, and that's what my comment was referring to. I'm sure Delph saying that in public is something any player would do in his shoes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With respect he isn't likely to tell someone he just met who is a villa fan he is leaving! He may stay but you just can't trust footballers unfortunately these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 A mate of mine asked Gareth Barry if he was staying. He said yes he was going nowhere. He went to city not long after. I'd be surprised if any player would want the hassle of telling a fan on a night out that they're leaving. Not saying I think delph is but I wouldn't rely on him telling someone he's staying.

HanoiVillan Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I thought this was BS, but maybe not...explains the smug grin he had on his face for the photo op when he sign the new contract. It seemed insincere at the time, and it's looking like it was. Fabian, if you leave, enjoy rotting on their bench and not getting as many England call ups. Can't believe another player thinks Man City is where his career will flourish. Maybe wait until anything at all has happened before throwing the toys out of the pram? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 For whatever reason we are club that the media love to do down whoever is writing the story. Why I don't know but all the empirical evidence shows that journos, the best examples being James Nursey and Pat Murphy, can't get negative stories into the media quick enough. Years ago on another forum I posted on (before I saw the light and came to VT) I had big bust up with a poster who reckoned he was a mate of Nursey's about how anti Villa the clown really is. Apparently he is Norwich fan too which hardly will have made matters better. So his anti Villa rhetoric is hardly new. As for Delph I woul be surprised if he went anywhere as the easiest thing to have done last season was not sign a new contract and yet he did. Added to that he would be mad go go anywhere where he was not guaranteed first team football. Funnily enough in this day and age he might actually feel he owes us something and be club loyal at least in the medium term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubby Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 If all this stuff about a low release clause for Delph is true then he is an absolute tosser and it's just another shocking example of the poor administration running our football club. #Shambles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post markavfc40 Posted June 28, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) If all this stuff about a low release clause for Delph is true then he is an absolute tosser An absolute tosser would have walked away for f all at the end of the season which is what 95% of footballers in Delph's position would have done. It seems some are getting into a hissy fit over something that may well be incorrect and even if it is correct certainly doesn't mean that Delph will leave. I don't think he will.

Nigel Posted June 28, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted June 28, 2015 Id love to believe there are some players who do feel a sense of gratitude for being here, and repay faith shown in them, at their own expense. If the story is true, then didn't Delph do that by even agreeing to renew when he could've just left on a bosman and pocketed a huge signing-on fee, bigger wages etc.? Yes he did, I just like to believe he did just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure I said if! I know. I am just stating that if the release clause is true that certainly doesn't make Delph a tosser. Worse case scenario , if these reports are true, he walks away for 8-10 mill. That is 8-10 mil we would not have got with most footballers as with 4 months left on their contracts the vast majority of players, given the clubs position, would have let their contract run out and walk away for nothing especially as Delph will be courted by many clubs. If Delph is a tosser having signed a contract with a 10 mill release clause, if indeed he has, what does that make Vlaar who is walking away for nothing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROTTERDAM1982 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 If he goes, good luck to him, he could have gone for nothing, and unlike Mellberg, he has actually give us the opportunity to raise some money on his leaving. Not sure he is CL quality, but he does remind me of Milner, and i wasn't sure he was either, but he proved me wrong. Personally i would like to keep him and Benteke, but i wouldn't blame them for wanting to go, but IF the takeover happens, then lets wait and see what happens then.

I feel if it's true he's sold us short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul33 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 If all of this release clause stuff is true then surely the fans have been mugged by the news of Delph signing a new contract and being "Mr Loyal" because he has basically done nothing more than agree a contract that says he'll play for Villa until any club makes an offer for him and then he can leave !!! Hope I'm wrong here but Mr Delph could become a very unpopular person if he gets this wrong ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 If Delph stays one more season I will give him my blessing next summer should he wish to leave. I think he will be harder to replace than benteke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supervillan78 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I hope he'll stay, otherwise why sign a four and a half year contract when you intend to leave just six moths later. I just hope the club can match his ambitions though, because we literally can't afford to lose players like Delph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Total disaster for the club if we loose Delph. 10 mil is crap for a player of that quality. Why make him captain if his intention was to leave. I still don't believe it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
