Fabian Delph - Signed for Manchester City

[Ad@m]

Is never take Fabian Hodge Delph back. The ship has sailed with that c***. Fuck him and his career.

This.

Although I'd quite happily tell him he was our number 1 target and then tell him we'd changed our mind a few days later.

If day turned into night, MP's were going round speaking truthfully  and there wasn't a sale on at DFS and somehow we became champions of everything and snake crawled on his belly down the centre lane of M6 all the way to Villa Park and begged us to have him I will tell him to f**k off all the way back to where he came from.

This. He'd piss me off even more if he hogged the middle lane on the Motorway.

[LeeB]

I'd take him back in a heartbeat.

I'd take him

I'd take him back in a heartbeat.

Never. Not after the way he left. It was horrible.

[Damo70]

I would have him back. But as Joey off of Friends would say, "it is a moo point".

[stubbsyandy]

I've said it before, but I have it on pretty good authority (Man City not Villa) that Delph went because Villa wanted him off the wage bill and asked him to take the offer.

I'd take him back if we get promoted. Would walk into our midfield.

I’d take him back too. The club was a mess around that time and we’re suffering from its legacy but we’re on our way back. I’m sure there’s a lot more to the Delph transfer that meets the eye so I’m not gonna demonise him. If he become available and we’re back in the PL where we belong, then why not?

With you on this one 100%

[Chris Smith]

I am not sure I would want him back but as you say it is never going to happen.

The nature of his departure reflects badly on all concerned. He's a decent player but not that good that we need to lose our self respect over.

Yep and me.

We need more pace.

[Tony Erdington]

Definetely have him back, Villa were a sinking ship and at the time he was playing really well, players want to win things and earn money whilst doing it.

by a distance he has been the best player for us in the last 6 years.

I'm not sure about that. Benteke maybe.

[brian green]

Or Terry even.

Benteke was much better.  So is Kodjia currently, and John Terry as Brian correctly says.  I was never much of a fan of Delph, and all I'd say is that he was amongst the best of a bad lot.  I wouldn't have him back for the same reason as Chris Smith, ie he's not that good that his ability would compensate for the bad feeling it would generate.  In any case, unless we go back up, there's very little chance of it happening anyway.

[Drummond]

Delph, Whelan, Lansbury or Jedinak?
