"I signed my new contract last season with the view of staying at the club for the duration of the deal and never with the intention to leave a year later."



Yes, Fabian that's why you inserted the clause. Prick

“Leaving Aston Villa Football Club is the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make,” Delph said. “I’ve had some amazing times and made some great friends during my time at the club and I’ll always be thankful to them for giving me the opportunity to play in the Premier League.

“As has been widely reported I initially turned down the opportunity to join Manchester City. That decision was purely down to the love I have for Aston Villa and its great supporters.

“When I was made captain of Villa it was a huge honour for me and I took the responsibility incredibly seriously. I signed my new contract last season with the view of staying at the club for the duration of the deal and never with the intention to leave a year later.

“My decision to stay initially was purely based on the emotion and feelings that I hold for the club and the people there that I would be walking away from - rather than looking at the football opportunity that had been placed in front of me.

“I’ve experienced some incredible low times in my career with injuries and at one point even questioned whether I would even return to Premiership level. Despite that, I’ve always been 100% committed to improving my game and developing as a player and a person.

“As a kid watching the game on TV and then as a young footballer you dream about testing yourself against the best in the world, to compete for major trophies and to play in the Champions League. I’ve proved that I can play at the very top level with England and believe I owe it to myself to take the challenge of playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world in Manchester City.

“I have been immensely proud to captain such a great club and want to thank everyone at Aston Villa - most importantly the fans - for the amazing support they have shown me during my time there.

“I am now excited for the future with Manchester City and helping the club to succeed in the coming season and beyond.”

P.S
And a truck load of money.

Disappointed that the club wished him well for the future tbh When Downing shat  on us it was just a short statement saying he'd left the club and nothing else. I don't know why the club felt they needed to say that really in the circumstances.

Paul Lambert is an utter clown, whatever he says will be some mind numbing, boring, waffle. Isn't he busy watching Dortmund training, ready to come bouncing back with some new innovative tactics like the sideways, corner flag goalie kick off.

It was the right thing to do. Why stoop to his level?

Ah, a confederacy of c u n t s.

Delph just got given a 5 year deal on Man City wages. In effect he has just become independently wealthy in his mid twenties and no longer has to worry about his career or making a living ever again. I wish i could say I would have turned that down but, well I doubt I would.

That's the attitude that I would have taken had he left a week or so ago when it was first suggested.

All of this "I'm staying where I am" nonsense from last Saturday means I now join the ones who thought he was a dick last week.

[BoskoDjembaSalifou]

Really disappointed. I wish he would've went last week, this u-turn has just pissed me off.

It wasn't exactly heartfelt though was it. The lack of further comment suggests the club's as pissed off about as everyone else.

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

I'll be surprised if he plays more than 10 games for them next season.


Disappointed in a player I have backed to the hilt since he joined us.

[Nev]

Well done to the club for acting with dignity. It is in our DNA.


However, I think the fans are entitled to act like shrieking lunatics.

At the very least....

“I spoke with Joe Hart when I was with him for England and he was always been telling me how the Club has come on and what City are trying to achieve - and Micah Richards told me that as far as he is concerned, this is the best club in the world and he had the time of his life here."

What a tosser

It's the same every fucking time we get a player in the England squad they chat to players at City ,United etc and they fuck off ...

Oh and Micah stfu

So not satisfied with knifing the club in the back he then drops one his ex teammates in it.

[olaftab]

Agreed. Statement should have said " We confirm that Fabian Delph has left Aston Villa and joined Manchester City" and nothing else.
