Yorkie Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Ah aye so he did. I knew he'd played against Cheltenham (?) too, I was exaggerating for comic effect more than anything. Seems a million miles from getting a league start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was tempted to delete the post as I knew what you meant, I doubt he's ever going to get a look in in the league unless Gayle and Mitrovic get injured/sold/out of form.

sbnufc Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Delph would probably be amazing in the Championship. Something like a ½ season loan (with option to buy) until the summer so he can get playing time would be good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Getting Delph in early January would be one of the best transfers we've done in a long time, given the circumstances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leazes1986 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Delph and Shelvey would be great together. Big fan of Hayden, but if we can get Delph then it is a no brainer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Not sure how I feel about Delph. Seems like the kind of mercenary we've done well to rid of in the recent past. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 He's not a mercenary at all. He left a mid table Championship club to play Premier League football, followed by leaving one of the worst Premier League sides in the history of the competition (where he'd been for 5-6 years) to join a club where he'd have the opportunity to play Champions League football. It's called progression. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 He's injury prone as fuck. Just the 51 games he's missed in the past 2 seasons so far. Which is a shame as he's clearly an enormous bellend. On the plus side, he's not Jackie First Choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Would be very happy with Delph. We rotate so I don't think it will affect hayden at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Delph's contract was about to expire but he signed a new deal with an £8m release. So maybe he shouldn't have declared his love for Villa (although you'd kinda have to in that situation), but he could easily have walked out for free. The issue is that he must've known he'd be bench fodder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I wasn't saying Delph was a mercenary mind, just questioning the progression thing. Realistically there was very little chance he was ever going to be long term first choice at Man City imho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I've no idea. I don't think that changes the fact he was chasing money. He'd pledged loyalty to Villa hardly any time before he eventually left for a lucrative career on the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
