Lev Yashin had a rubbish goalscoring record.

No wonder Vincent Tan doesn't rate him

No, not at all. The point you made was that lack of tackling ability meant a player was good, not great. I was enquiring whether that was the case for all players lacking in tackling ability or whether it was just Paul Scholes you applied that to.

Delph is now showing why we spent a fair wedge for him on the basis of his future potential.
He is a superb footballer who I believe will become a regular for England.

This lad is top, top draw.

Nice one Fabian.

Hard to believe we've had him since 2009 and we're only now seeing what he can do. Glad we've stuck with him, and he with us.

He's our best midfielder by such a huge, gaping distance, it is embarrassing.

Spectacular goal today, he's having an excellent season.

I said before the season started he'd start scoring a few. Looking a real player now.

It just makes you wonder how much we'd improve if we bought decent players to play alongside him.

Just imagine if he didn't have to do the work of three players?

Imagine a real holding midfielder and a real number 10 in the midfield with him. Such a good player now.

His contract hasn't that long to go. We're going to have to put better around him if he is to stay.

End of next season isn't it?
