Another season under Houllier and McAllister would have done him no harm at all. It may have spared us McLeish too and actually established a career for him as central midfielder in the national squad.
He really does articulate the problems of big moves to monied teams. He seems to be saying that not only is it hard to stake a claim, the dice are actually stacked against 'non exotic' signings.
However he got there, I am convinced Delph made the right decision.
