Fabian Delph - Signed for Manchester City

[silhillvilla]

I can't agree with the article at all. It's self evident that Delphs intention was always to walk away. £8 million is likely more than we'd have got in January and we needed all then old players we had. You can criticse the club for buying into the lie with the fanfare, but you can't criticse Fox form salvaging what we could from a bad hand. The horse had bolted, financially we did as well as we could.

And the broadcast of the video to 20 odd thousand freezing villa fans ?

He's right.

Article is spot on.
We acted like a weak sheep allowing this .

Tell us what we should have done then.

With such a limp sell on clause I'd have sent him packing.

"I'd have written off around seven million pounds just to prove a point".

I take it you're not in any job where you control the finances?

If your brain can stretch far enough, how much brand damage do you think we have taken this last 72 hours ? Scope being potential incoming starlets ? Outgoings, ST sales .

chatting nonsense I am afraid!!!!

My guess is 'very little to zero'.  I flicked through the papers today and they're hardly reporting it, other than saying Delph has joined Man City.  Very little about villa.  This was admittedly the London versions of the papers, and I don't doubt it is different in Birmingham, but to most people the villa part is a non-story.

Brand damage..............please its a football club

You support the club............. if players want to leave let them, its "brand Delph" that's damaged

That's Exactly the point.

My mates in London have taken the piss out of me, but only cos I was so full on going into work on Monday saying what a loyal person our captain is. Not looking forward to this Monday morning :-(

Anyone else on H&V think that to Delph, being a footballer is just a job? And Aston Villa are just an employer? And Man City are just another employer offering to double his salary?

However much you love Villa and whatever importance you place on Delph's words of loyalty, he doesn't know you and he doesn't give a shit what you think about his career moves anymore than you give a shit what he thinks about the latest job you took (or didn't take).

There is a monumental lack of perspective here.

Brand damage..............please its a football club

The headlines I've seen are "VILLA CAPTAIN JOINS MAN CITY"
With no real reaction from the cub.
If we were a PLC our share price would be on the floor

It wouldn't, but once again don't let fact get in the way of your stupidity.

What do you want the club to say.............

Mate its not headlines anywhere you need to relax

[tomd2103]

Fair enough, but that money has pretty much paid for Gueye so its not completely to be sniffed at.

True.  Most players would have just seen out their contract and left for free, so at least we did get something for him.  If we had sold him in January, I don't think we would have got significantly more for him.

They've been talking about it all day on national radio and last night as well, and newspaper articles have been coming thick and fast since Delph's treachery so to make out the Villa part has barely been mention is just cobblers I'm afraid.

The point is the exact opposite of what you said the point was 15 minutes ago?
