Fabian Delph

[Sheebo]

Hey, the BBC are normally fairly accurate. Very rarely do they drop a bollock. I can start a thread about a ex-player if you like.

I just meant they said he is expected to sign - not that he'd signed?!

 

[Sheebo]

Has Jamie Murphy signed yet?

I don't get what u mean mate?

Less than a month since you dropped a bollock with this:

Been passed in some info that we're close to signing a striker from a league 1 play off team... Not a clue if true so don't shoot the messenger but thought I'd casually drop it in here and not raise everyone's hopes by starting a new thread...

I'd hardly say you're in a position to criticise anyone on transfer-related posts.

It's ironic that this home grown player rule brought in to give the kids a chance is resulting in the greedy, better ones stalling their careers.

Hope this doesn't happen with Delph or Sterling.

Edit: Well done Delph.

Erm - would you like to read what I wrote again? Passed on something I was told by another Brighton fan and certainly didn't put my name to it or start a new thread. The OP said Delph had 'signed' for City when it wasn't official. Completely different. So yes I can comment on whatever I want if people pass things off as fact that aren't. Thanks.

The BBC were reporting the story in the same way that Schweinsteiger has signed for Man Utd. When reporting these stories obviously a bid has been accepted so it's up to the player to agree terms. Delph seems to have shown gumption and not signed. IMHO - this is very surprising given the mentality of a modern British footballer meaning money is normally the number one motivation in any decision. In this case he has made a footballing decision which should pay dividends for his international career as he is a player that Roy Hodgson rates.

Slightly awkward for Villa......... They had already "spent" the money from Delph's sale (so rumour has it up here) and are now frantically back-tracking quicker than he did

It was all a ploy by Sherwood to get the board to spend some money. Perhaps we should try it with Dunk and Bloom, just get Bournemouth to offer £8 million, Dunk to have talks then reject a mover after we have signed 6 new players...

Looks like they were right

 

[GoingUp]

So Delph is now going to City again?

 

[Ernest]

Now SINGED , what a tosser

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

I think Villa are partially to blame here.

I imagine they promised to strengthen the squad and with benteke going and them likely to replace with Ade from Spurs that's pretty poor.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

What a saga, sounds like he wanted to stay but Villa had already spent the money.

Let hope City develop him

[Bombadier Botty]

Unbelievable.

 

[severnside gull]

Again the rumour here is that Delph was actively encouraged to go as Villa had already committed to replacing him

 

[Jim Van Winkle]

I hope you learn something from your mistake

What mistake.

 

[Sheebo]

What mistake.

Thought you or the moron having a pop for no reason above may surfice! Of course, yesterday's news makes no odds to my original point (he hadnt signed for them when you wrote that)

Don't be so precious poppet, I can see you've had a sense of humour bypass.

Oh I'm not but maybe lay off the patronising as it makes you look even more of a **** than your original jumping the gun post
