barry'sboots Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Just because people have a **** opinion doesn't mean someone somehow gets better when they don't play. Carlos Cuellar - Rate him very highly as a CB, average RB......so when he's not in the team and the clowns Dunne and Collins are in the team in front of him, then you ask why he isn't playing and he's also proven he is a top CB. Fabien Delph - I've said since the first day I watched this kid play against Fiorentina, I thought he was a special talent, I've said it his entire **** time here. Just because he's injured, somehow doesn't mean now I think more of him, some of us just happen to believe he's a special player for a while. Luke Young - He was one of our best and most consistant players in 08/09, he even got a call up from Capello and rejected it. Everyone said how good he was. He then played about 13 games in 09/10 season and apart from one game against Chelsea, he was excellent. We had Cuellar at right back and then we had Luke Young who had rarely put a foot wrong for this club on the bench who was a natural right back. Luke Young even this season, apart from a dodgy couple of weeks around the Arsenal game has for most of the season been pretty solid and provided good threat going forward. No one said he was **** world class, just said he should be playing, which he should have been. Reo-Coker - rated him since he was at the club, always thought he had a positive effect on the team and wanted him in the team, I also think he's shown why he should have been playing more games at times. Just because people on this site can hold opinions, doesn't somehow mean players somehow get better while they're injured like people make out. Again Fabien Delph..... August 09 "He's a special player" .......response "fair enough, I'm not convinced" December "He's a special player".........response.."people over-rating him again just cause he hasn't played" Feck off!!!!!!!!!!!!! Spot on. This is the kid that ran the show against Man U at home last year - until Nani was sent off and MON didn't respond. He is special IMO. Always able to create space for himself and find a ball to a team mate. Very similar to McAllister in his pomp IMO. I can't wait for him to come back in alongside Makoun potentially!

beasley14 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 If he comes back as good as new, he will be a star. The trouble is keeping hold of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONO Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 We've stuck by him during a very serious injury. Loyalty is bound to count for something.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssexVilla Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 he might not be the same player. look at micheal owen. Completely different situation. Owen injured about halfway through his career while Delph has pretty much all of his left. Owen also persistently injured again and again which hopefully won't happen to Delph. From what I've heard this shouldn't happen due to the club making sure he isn't rushed back or trying to overdo his return on his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 And Owen relied on pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I've said this in almost every Fabian Delph thread, when someone says "he is just a kid, we're putting too many hopes in him, what has he shown?".. He has the ability to run in circles with the ball glued to his foot. That, imo, is one of his main strengths and it really helps him get out of a tight corner or push an attack forward. One thing I noticed when Delph first played last year, was that he was one of the few players in the team who wasn't scared to run at the opposition. Milner, Ash and Delph were the only players on the pitch who had the confidence in their ability to do this (IIRC). Delph will be a big player for us, I'm confident of it!

Designer1 Posted December 17, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted December 17, 2010 Delph not far back it seems according to the OS. Excellent news. Really looking forward to seeing how his talent develops as I feel he has all the tools to be a top pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I tihnk he'll be a brilliant player. He bossed the midfield against United last year and was subbed early by MON! :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Such a laughable decision. I was there at the game with 5 United fans (sorry!)..and they all said he was the best player on the pitch! Made 44 out of 47 passes in just 59 minutes that day.
