James Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 This is a weird one if true. Also, the sky is blue. We both see that the sky is blue, but do we see the same colour? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 About on a par with Hughes & Griffin. We're past that stage now surely. This is way, way off the mark, he is an infinitely better player than Aaron Hughes. But that doesn't matter, he can be Ronaldinho for all the difference it makes if he is never, ever fit. I think they meant the newcastle era Hughes, but I get what you mean. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest David Kelly Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Surprised to hear someone saying this. I always got the impression he was just shite. Never watched much of Villa in recent years though tbf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guinness Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 If there actually is any truth in this rumour at all I'd prefer it if we looked at Trabelsi instead. Like Delaney he's injured a lot, but when fit is a class player and perhaps could be back up on a pay as you play deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I have to say, even though Delaney is a free agent, if this move went through, I would be genuinely astonished, for two reasons. Firstly, we haven't got a RB at the club. So, if we're letting Delaney go and not getting him ona longer contract, then that suggests that he is properly fucked. Secondly, if you are taking him, that suggests he is not properly fucked. But if that is the case, why are Villa letting him go when we have no RB at all?

chicago_shearer Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 If he can pass a medical then fair enough. He's hardly going to get anyone excited, but it might provide some competition for a place and I doubt the transfer fee is anything at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The obvious answer is that O'Neill has someone lined up to replace him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Decent when he's fit, but getting him fit and keeping him fit would be a mammoth task. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 He's out of contract isn't he so he's free to do as he likes. Indeed, but if there were any chance he'd recover, we'd have offered him a longer contract. We still need a new RB, but we also need cover. If Delaney is fit and leaves, we still need 2 RBs. I can't believe he has two lined up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefaz Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Decent player. No idea why we'd sign him, though. Maybe this is what Big Sam meant about replacing Dyer? One injury-prone player for another. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Northern Ireland supporter i prob tend to notice his performances from a more bias few but at international level, his performances are usually great. And we haven't been playing too badly lately! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppaz Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 His injuries have all been knee related and he has seen Dicky Steadman and has been recovering from his operation. Hopefully Steadman has sorted him out. Worth a punt and a long medical IMO (Villa fans rate him!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two possible answers to the second question:- 1 - You've already got someone to replace him 2 - You aren't letting him go, he just chose to go Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 If fit, good signing IMO. I'm sure Sam and the medical team are examining him very closely and will only sign if totally confident. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
