Zatman Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I say sub him in Ireland's spot for a few games and see what he can do there. is this a joke? Ireland has more talent in his little toe than Delph has shown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaRoy Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Looks like he is ahead of schedule in his battle against injury and for fitness. From Mat Kendrick; Fabian Delph, Ciaran Clark and Nathan Delfouneso could all be fit enough to return to contention this weekend. See today's Birmingham Mail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I'm happy he's back. He hasn't done much to prove himself in the last two seasons, but his bad luck with injuries hasn't helped his cause. I really hope he can find the touch of class he had in his first 6 months at AVFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 All three are welcome back as our squad is threadbare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Good option I guess but not in starting XI for me at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eames Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 He cant be any worse than the invisible man Petrov Why we insist on playing overpaid useless old men who perform once every 5 games whilst keeping potentially cracking young players out the team I will never know.. Why ever did we insit on playing our most consistent midfielder and club captain week in week out again? Remind me? :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delph can't tackle, can't control the ball and is incapable of passing a ball 5 yards to a team mate. People on here keep saying he ran the show against fiorentina which was a meaningless friendly and he had a good game against man utd. He was shit in every other game so working on averages delph has a good game every 15 games. He is utter drivel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Think next season if Delph doesn't step up we must sell imo. We could get a decent fee from him from a championship club, wouldn't surprise me if Lambert sells him this transfer window but I guess he'd want to see him play first. I actually forgot he played for us to be honest, does anyone know how he did at Leeds on his loan spell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Wouldn't be surprised if he goes in te summer. If we're after snodgrass a part ex may be on the cards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May-Z Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I was actually talking to my Leeds supporting friend the other day about Delph. He said when he went back there on loan that he had totally changed from the player that broke through and that all he wanted to do was pick the ball up short of the back four then play it simply. I personally think he's been massively mis-managed by all three of the Villa managers he has played under-for different reasons in each case.

Big_John_10 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I still believe Delph could be a good player for us. Hopefully Lambert is the man to finally get the best from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very dubious of this mismanaged theory with regards to players. There is something that tells me the players that I most admire just get on with it....It strikes me that good players are generally good where ever they go. The ones that are only good in certain circumstances and only play well with certain other players ...are limited in my book. I know what you are saying and there has clearly been instances where players have played better with certain managers, but I'm not convinced about there overall worth/value. Ps not convinced about Delph, never have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Never been impressed with him. Perhaps it's time to admit that he just can't cut it at this level and sell him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy909 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Id definately like to see Lambert give the lad a proper chance, he is still young and has shown great promise in the past! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaGoMarching Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Delph has changed completely while he's been with us, I presumed it was injuries and lack of confidence which did this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamousHolteUnion Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 We signed Delph as an advanced midfielder who was scoring screamers regularly, a great passer of the ball already and could play on the wing, he dominated the Fiorentina game. Now he plays much deeper and cant pass or shoot. He has definitely been mismanaged and I think he'll be a big player for us this season. Im concinved we'll regret it in a few years if we sell him. I like Bannan but Delph is better than him. Still think in a couple of years Delph and Gardner in midfield infront of a proper DM could be fantastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The previous poster said he regularly scored screamers? He scored one at Brighton and he has never been played as an advanced playmaker either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
