useless Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 If he does leave all those quotes he came out with when he signed his contract, will look pretty silly. Not really because he basically handed Villa 8mill. He could have handed Villa 8mill without coming out with all the stuff about being loyal and being a Villa man and it being his club. As I've said though I don't think he's going anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Folski Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Kind of weird that no way would Delph would even be wanted by City if the home grown rule did not exist. If the amount of homegrown needed increases it will be harder for smaller clubs to keep hold of there best homegrown players. Exactly it is having a detrimental effect to what they are trying to achieve, look at the likes of Sinclair, Rodwell going to big clubs not get games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 The quotes are one thing but the photos of him with the captains armband for the kit launch promo is just as bad IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmarsha_926 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) Plus we have seen suspended betting before remember Prince Boateng Edited July 10, 2015 by lmarsha_926 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lloydxmas Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Why the hell is he posing in the new kit, whilst pointing at the captains armband ? Plus if this 8m is to believed, what idiot agreed to that in his contract extension ? Mind boggles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan81 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 at 8 mill you'd have every prem team in europe next season looking at him so if its happening i doubt its 8 mill more like 12+ surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Right, but things have been suspended before that haven't ultimately gone through right? If all the betting companies start suspending betting than maybe, but its 1 so far. I think Sky were the only ones specifically taking bets on that to be fair. But to go as far as suspending usually means the writing is on the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shomin Geki Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I won't be able to hide my disappointment if this ends up being true. Perhaps a journalist can grow some balls, step off the dizzying football entertainment complex carousel, and quote Delph's comments back to him? If we wish to feel the power of concepts like loyalty, honesty, fraternity, and whatnot, and surely we do, simply moaning and shrugging ain't gonna cut the mustard. Jesus, these days even the bread and circuses have bread and circuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idiot that realised it was either that or he didn't sign the contract and would already have walked away for nothing. The clause is actually a good thing if it was what Delph wanted to sign the contract. Edited July 10, 2015 by Stevo985 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted July 10, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 10, 2015 It's quite sad really that the only reason we're losing him is down to a homegrown rule. No way City would be interested if it weren't for that. Makes the whole point of it rather stupid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lloydxmas Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Milner is also a better and more versatile player than Delph IMO and left as he wasnt getting enough game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So people watch Sky Sports News, see he hasn't gone to Portugal and start putting money down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Yesterday we were optimistic but now most seem to think he's gone. Nothing has changed except that betting has been suspended. That could very well be because of the fact that he didn't go to Portugal and people think that means he's leaving and decided to bet on him going to City. We shouldn't worry yet.

The clause is actually a good thing if it was what Delph wanted to sign the contract. But why 8m though ? If he thinks he's going to get game time at a top 4 club he should value himself a lot higher than that? 8m is pocket change for the elite.

GENTLEMAN Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Dale Tempest @SkyBet_Dale 14m14 minutes ago we @SkyBet have suspended on Delph to City looks like its moving I guess the next move will be villa relegated if Benteke goes I don't think we will be relegated if we sold Benteke & Delph, lets be frank they have both been key players in a struggling team over the last three years.
