Delph, if you have turned down a move to stay because of loyalty, then you mate are an absolute legend.
You could be crap every game next season, and I think you'll be forgiven anything.

Well done son, a breath of fresh air after all.

For me it seems like he was very nearly a Man City player, so I don't think apologies are needed. Not by us. I'll be looking at Delph like this for a while:

Post by: paul_e on July 11, 2015, 07:02:03 PM
I feel quite glad I don't have to post anything on this thread to retract anything from others.  I decided to hold off on any comment about the move until the ITSOTP picture came out.  When we are linked with players a lot of the people on here, who were rather angry last night/this morning, are the first to plead calm before then so the advice needs to be help to when players leave as well, or at least until they have some genuine quotes about wanting to leave.

I'm glad he's stayed, I think him Sanchez and Gueye has the basis of a good midfield if they can gel and Westwood and Gardner are decent backup options so we're not far off having a top half standard midfield.

I didn't give him abuse either but chuffed he's staying against all probabilities. Give the captain a new contract with either no release clause or one which is much higher  :)

Given we don't know the details of the clause that may not be needed.  It could easily have been that he was allowed to talk with CL clubs this summer for a fee of £8m but the clause ends in September.  I've said this on here a few times recently, what the press express as a release clause and the actual contract are likely to be very far apart.  The above makes sense  in that the conversations his agent had been having with clubs about his potential free transfer can carry on but with a comparatively small fee now involved and Delph has the option to see what's on the table.

Take the Suarez situation as another example (as a great example of the press knowing fuck all) we all know Arsenal triggered it and Liverpool said no, if it's as simple as that the club are in breach of contract and Suarez can take them to court and probably get the contract paid up in full and have any club in the world offering him a contract as a free transfer.  What actually happened is that he got a new Liverpool contract on apparently significantly improved terms about 2 days later.  My thinking is that the clause probably said if Liverpool chose to veto the transfer they could but that would automatically trigger a new contract offer with the value of that already set.

So we all say sorry, well maybe that can wait till Monday, when we read he has had the clause removed and if he does intend to move in the future AVFC will get full market value for him.
Think there is a bit of overkill here, it was not AVFC who booked a medical and before anyone comes back with, no it was his greedy agent, remember he employs him.
Good midfielder in a very average team, watching the Villa for over 40 years, he would not make my top 10 of midfielders, his first touch the last part of this season improved, prior to that his second touch normally ended in a yellow card and the facts that can't be changed 8 goals and 5 assists in his time at Villa. Glad he is staying as he is better that alot around him, but that says more about the current dross we have watched for 5 years.

I'm not sure even now he's quite become the player I thought he would after his first 6 months here. He only played fleetingly that season under MON but the bits I saw looked extremely exciting. It was mainly his range of passing that caught my eye but his ability to break into the box was evident as was his willingness to get stuck in, even though he mistimed a lot of challenges. The subsequent injuries have stunted his progress a bit in my opinion and although he is a very good premier league midfielder he isn't the superstar I thought he would be. He would possibly struggle to be first choice in a 'top 4 side'. That said, after Benteke he's out next best player and above the level we are at generally as a team at the moment, and it's a massive plus to have him staying, I'm delighted. He will help Sanchez with his progress and Gyeye settle also. They have the potential to be a really good midfield trio, depending on the formation we choose.

When we bought him I thought he was an attacking midfield player but since his injury he has looked far more defensive.  I think you would see him look far better if Sherwood was to push him forward more and tell him to let others build the play from the back.

I think it is a combination of shoddy journalistic standards and an audience so used to being let down by the actions of footballers that made is seem credible. The only statement from any parties supposedly involved is the one from Delph asserting that he is saying. The rest is a combination of speculation, media bandwagon jumping and one or two people trying to put the best spin on it to save face for their reaction.

For my part I got it completely wrong when I really should have known better.

Quite true, although when he has got forward in this team he hasn't quite made it pay as much as you would hope. Maybe if Sanchez does the defensive stuff, and the new guy box to box he can be afforded more freedom to attack on a more regular basis, which would probably see him improve that aspect of his game.

The rest is a combination of speculation, media bandwagon jumping and one or two people trying to put the best spin on it to save face for their reaction.

For my part I got it completely wrong when I really should have known better.

If Delph understands the meaning of 'set the record straight' and is not covering up something, it would appear that he was never leaving.

This was all started by Brum Mail journalist Gregg Evans, he first broke the story on his twitter feed that was then picked up by BBC by which time Gregg Evans had already released his online article about the Delph to have a medical, the 2nd that went live is when Sky Sports started the headline.

The rest is history and it went way out of control, the level of abuse on his instagram including some strong level of threats was nothing short of embarrassing, usually player's ignore the haters especially if they are leaving a club but Delph had no choice but to release a statement saying he wasn't leaving and imo he never was.

The architect in all this Gregg Evans who is on the tour with Villa atm has now said the deal was definitely on but Delph changed his mind, he also said everyone in Portugal I.e staff and player's were all under the impression Delph was leaving, this has now been denied by Baker and Westwood who have said they have been in contact with Delph and he was never leaving.

The Birmingham Mail is beginning to be a real problem for us, you had Kendrick's outburst against Lambert that got him removed and replaced with Gregg and now we have this... Not to mention all the stories leading upto the Cup Final. This rag must really dislike our club, if I was Tom Fox I would be having serious words with the producers at Brum Mail and issue them with a final warning.

I had a rant on Twitter about the proposed move so I for one hold my hands up and I apologise for any abuse I may have said about him.

I'm Sorry Delph

I think the general backlash was fair enough given the certainty with which all media outlets were reporting it, and it looks like an about turn rather than the reports being wrong.  Also, the ridiculously low buy out figure is still "a thing" so I think the outrage was justified. 

So maybe "sorry" isn't what we should be saying, but "well done and thanks for changing your mind".

Don't know why the media are getting the blame for the slagging he got on here, that's down to the individuals that posted the stuff
The media probably just reported what was happening at the time, I reckon Delph could easily have been a Man City player today if he wanted to be

Fortunately for us He changed his mind or had second thoughts that's all that's happened here

It is not a done deal until a contract is signed or it is 100% certain to be signed.  'Done deal' is too loosely used today to exaggerate a position.

There has been a lot of supposition over the last few days and even now, there are many following the 'no smoke ....' theory.

It can't be a done deal if its not a done deal but they reported it as a done deal...collectively we were all expecting and waiting for him to be ITSOTP over the weekend. That is what the media reports lead us to believe, however the truth of how far this transfer saga went or if it was even happening in the first place is unknown.

So your saying that the media reported that Delph had signed a contract with City, because I never read that
I read stuf like 'Delph on his way to Man City' 'City have triggered the release clause' 'Delph to have a medical' and like I say that might have been true at the time,

but Delph  changed his mind I don't see what's so difficult to understand about that
Title: Re: Sorry Fabian
Post by: KRS on July 12, 2015, 06:24:48 PM
Nope thats not what I'm saying...they reported it and we were lead to believe that the completion of the transfer was just a formality and this is confounded by the fact that SSN reported their "surprise turn of events" as to the content of Delphs statement. It doesn't matter anyway, we're just knit picking over the definition of "done deal"...the only thing that matters is that he's staying (at least for now anyway).

My attitude is the same one I have for anyone else in the squad - if you think you can do better, then fuck off.

With the players we're being linked with, for once I think we're better positioned to replace people than perhaps we ever have been. Let's form a squad of quality players who want to play for the shirt and are all 100% committed to the cause.

Well at least we can look forward to this shit all over again the next time one of our players starts doing alright. What a fucking shitshow.
True. This goes on as long as the club is owned by some reasonable person, someone who actually cares about money. Until we get an owner who doesn't give a **** about profits or losses we'll keep losing our best players. Cold fact.

Was I disappointed he was going last week - yes, but replacable

Was I happy he was staying - of course, what a refreshing attitude

What do I think today - he's let nobody down but himself.  Bright lights, big city...could be the next Wayne Bridge.

We'll dust ourselves down & move on.

“There’s loyalty in football” that is what he said,
But now all we want Ciaran Clark, to kick him in the head

I wouldn't wish a career threatening injury on him. If his Man City career goes the same way as Sinclair's did, then I wouldn't be too upset.

Apparently Tim Sherwood had a word with Delph when he originally turned down Man City:
TS- I hear you've turned down Man City, Delphy?
FD- Yeh, I signed a new contract last year and feel I should honour it.
TS- Erm, thing is Delphy, I don't think you're going to be good enough for my Villa team, so If I were you I'd phone them back.

Going to be a tasty atmosphere at the Man. City game next season.

I don't normally go to games at home to the Manchester clubs anymore but we do on occasions still turn over Man. City at home so not a complete write off game.

And the stick he'll get will be 5 times worse than what Barry received. Infact I remember reading on here Barry was so affected by the abuse he got first time back he was asking to be taken off.

That is the worst attempt at written journalism I've seen, which is obviously way more of a crime than Covid denying or leaving the Villa. It's certainly a conspiracy theory to believe that editor is capable of doing the job they were designed to do.

I would argue that it probably explains all his injuries and length of time out as he must have relied on his bodies healing abilities rather then having operations or taking medicines.

He is a twat, obviously.

Though one potentially interesting point, as you will need to have had both vaccinations to get into PL grounds in October, presumably if he, or any other players refuses, they cannot play and can be sacked without compensation for not fulfilling their contract.

I appreciate that Delph doesn't necessarily get that much playing time, though he will be often on the bench or in the stand. UTV.

Now *that* is an interesting question.  I presume Piers Morgan has already embarrassed himself on the fan-jab topic, having proved beyond any doubt (if there was any) what an unpleasant character he is in the Simone Biles withdrawal.

Having the vaccine should always be a personal choice. But the implications of not having it are not limited to yourself. Likewise some people are unable to comprehend that you wearing a mask is to protect them & not yourself.

I've never bought into this Delph hatred thing, as he could have left for nothing.
