Neil Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Okay, forget my last post as I sound like a right arse now after reading that avfc post about him not leaving. Maybe there is such a thing as loyalty in football after all, I'd like to think so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piav_k4 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 There was obviously something in it... Michah Richards confirmed as much. Plus the club could have denied rumours about 3 weeks ago when the clause rumours surfaced, Here come the old 'i didn't post what i was thinking so i'll bash those that did' brigade. Congratulations, you score 1 point! Regardless, i am chuffed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sexbelowsound Posted July 11, 2015 Popular Post 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. Hmmmmmmm. I've had a good think about this and i'm still of the opinion that I am a bit of a word removed. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Maybe the deal from city was nothing special, maybe he chatted to Roy, maybe he's seen the backlash not only from villa fans but from pretty much all the neutrals too Who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 What? I am confused.! Usually when organisations like the beeb report a move, it happens. Something odd is happening but I will take it. Even if he ends up staying for only 1 more season that will be a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 This last 24 hours.... Backtracking on here will be worse than Benteke two years ago. Anyway despite what's been uttered, I'm happy. He's our captain and when he plays well we play well. Less work to do. Good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 From Delph's point of view it made no sense for him whatsoever to sign a contract if he planned to leave in summer. So the fact he did says to me the whole thing was put together by the club. So on that same basis why on earth would Delph say all those loyalties comments unless instructed to do so.? Makes no sense whatsoever. I think he is just a honest pro that was manipulated in to thinking he was doing right by the club and the best for himself. Good luck Delph. Thanks for helping us to stay in this league. Hope you go to play a part in winning things. Something you will never achieve here.If you're insinuating that Delph only said those 'loyalty' comments in his interview, because the club asked him to, or even scripted it, then that is truly laughable and you need a reality check. The club won't give the players scripts unless it's a comedy 'Merry Christmas from Aston Villa' video. Players aren't actors. If you're insinuating that delph engineered a contract with a provisio to give him an easy out option and then requested to do a "message to fans" feature and avfcoffucial exclusive interview to prove how loyal he is...then that really is truly laughable and you need a reality check...Eh? You've lost me there, that's exactly what's happened. He signed a new contract, which he didn't have to do. Yes he apparently put in a release clause (presumably to protect himself from further relegation battles if we don't improve), and yes he did a message to the fans where he spoke his own words out of his own mouth. I don't think I understand your post, unless it was missing a winky smiley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 What the hell. I'm so confused! Why did the club remove him from the kit pics? Really glad to here this. Two players removed, maybe the other shot just didn't include benteke...he's up for speculation too. Maybe just kit promotion photo revolving, or they're seriously **** trolling us.

obanken Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Great news With him and Gueye we can build a great midfield. If we can get some of the players we have been linked with we can be much better than last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
