Delph for England

[Boz]

Delph has been our player of the month for three months and I know that might not seem a lot to other clubs supporters, but he's being getting good mentions in the media, but Woy's got his favourites and Villa players are not amongst them.

It seems Villa will have to be in the top four before any players are likely to be considered for the England squad, a sorry state from the not too long ago days of Barry, Milner, Young, Bent, Downing and Gabby. Even Walker got into the squad while at Villa, but these days, we've lost our nucleus of English players. Is this good or bad?

Possibly drop to his knees, unzip Woys fly and think of England.

"We want goals"

New Order, World in Motion

Score more goals and have a better pass completion rate. He is playing well but he is shinning in a very poor midfield i'm afraid.

Influence games.

He's played pretty well in a terrible midfield but hasn't done that much either going forward or backward.

No conspiracy to see here, he just hasn't done that much in reality.

Does the sun ever shine in your world?

Not too worried about him not getting into the squad - we have seen how players get their heads turned once in the squad and as he has still to sign a new contract I would hate to see him tapped up by someone else - he has been our best player this season , but England can wait for now.

[Villa in Denmark]

Get a move to one of the Sky six.

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

What if we get drawn in the same group as Belgium ? That big brute of a striker they have would flatten him.

Think he does his bit defensively but agree he does little offensively. Offers next to nothing in the final third. Wouldn't stand out in most other midfields.

He'd need to play for Man United's reserves then he'd be straight in like Cleverley and Welbeck.

The number of times he dribbles and muscles his way out of tight situations is exemplary. Much better than Cleverly.

[Toronto Villa]

It's utterly crazy given some of the names that have received selection in recent months and the supposed direction of the national team that Delph has missed out. The ignorance of the England management team seemingly knows no bounds.

[cdbearsfan]

Is he eligible to play for anybody else?
