Guy in IT at work is a stoke ST holder.  He is absolutely gutted and frustrated he is leaving and Delph is coming in.

According to his Wikipedia page GW is 33 years 6 months.
His hero was Paul McGrath, and he has a son called Jack.

I think the only question is whether he's fallen off a cliff fitness wise

If it's a more moderate decline it looks great value to me. If he can pass the ball better than Jedinak id put him in ahead of him, definitely for home games.

Hoping they don't both play too often!

He's an honest, grafting Dubliner like Fatty Dunne before him. Does he still score the odd scorcher from outside the box? He had quite a hit on him.

Better brace ourselves for the regular return of MON and Keane to VP as they check-out his form along with that of his new midfield sidekick and compatriot, Hoorihan.

Knows nothing of Delph then - the Delph in his last season or two at Villa became an England regular. Stupid move to man City (and injuries) cost him dear (open goal coming for anyone...).

I am not particularly bothered one way or the other with this signing, but I do worry a bit that our midfield is so short of energy and creativity that we might as well introduce a few armchairs into it. Perhaps a hammock.

I like his statement, very refreshing after the usual 'uum yeah it's massive' type cliched bollocks.
Welcome Glenn.

Not a bad player, but at 33 he certainly isn't going to add anything in terms of dynamism.

That'll be battered into him before his first video interview.

Yes, you could definately see Lansbury lying in a hammock on the centre circle, a leg and arm flopped over the side and a Panama hat over his face.

In our team he definitely doesn't have to show any dynamism so he suits us perfectly!

Barry Fry would be proud of us having a 45 player first team squad.
