I'd like him to see out his contract at City whilst they win everything but due to his niggling injuries he misses out any medals due to not playing enough games or being injured for any finals.

And then be hit with a massive tax bill.

To be honest I don't wish him any injury. I genuinely think his average ability will hold him back in their team more than anything. Really could not see why they bought him and still cant

I hope he steps on a sharp piece of Lego and whist he's hopping around, stands on an upturned plug.

I no longer get a signal in ours!

I would not be at all upset for him if he ended up out for the season, and then struggled to play next. He was a proper knob to us.

If there was a poll on this, I'd vote for this option.

Perhaps they thought they could do with topping up their mercenary quota for the coming season?

I don't wish harm, but i do wish that he plays such little football that he is not in woy's squad for France 2016.  As much we say his about turn was money I am pretty such motive was playing in chumps league etc.

Mostly agree with this (just not the no harm bit).
He is going to be under pressure with the new boys coming through (Alli etc) and these guys are playing for their clubs regularly.

And scoring for club and country - something he has never done.  (when i say no harm - i mean no physical harm - mental harm is much more powerful  ;D)

There was a report in one of the papers after the Spain-England game and it was along the lines of what we have learned and it said "Fabian Delph and xxx (might have been Phil Jones) will never amount to more than bit part squad players for england"
