I feel very let down by delph not because of person going but the way his gone about it!
His replaceable but loyalty in football is dying every day and with it my passion for the sport! Hoping my boy changes direction cricket, tennis, golf anything but football!

18 Jul 2015 00:39:37
I feel a bit like that Rach123.
I have a friend who fell out of love with the game because of this kind of thing and although I could sympathise, I could never imagine feeling the same
Now I'm not so sure

17 Jul 2015 22:22:58
Hi guys, Liverpool fan I come in peace. I think I speak for many others when I say that Delph & Sterling belong together. We r trying so hard not to be bitter and disappointed but I think we r all extremely naive to think that player loyalty exists anymore, all that kissing the badge rollox is just for show. I do however now start to have more and more respect for Stevie G, I think the pursuit of home grown loyalty is the only way that we can take the beautiful game back, sad times. YNWA

18 Jul 2015 04:36:03
At least you got 49 million for Sterling (About 40 million more than what he's actually worth) - we only get 8 million. His replacement Idrissa Gueye cost a million more. Totally agree on the home grown players - hopefully Grealish can be our Stevie G :)

17 Jul 2015 21:27:17
I hope that Delph is very proud of himself after performing the quickest u turn ever.
Lots if kids have had new shirts with his name emblazoned on them and now they can't wear them.
Wonder if he would like to reimburse those Dads that have spent the money.
Can't wait to hear his reception IF he gets picked to keep the bench warm at VP against MCFC!

18 Jul 2015 04:39:33
Either way Oldvillain I can't see him ever getting anything other than abuse off the Villa fans for the rest of his career, at City or elsewhere. Next year the dads should play it safe and get an Agbonlahor shirt - we know he's going nowhere!

18 Jul 2015 08:11:47
I personally would never get a players name on the back of mine or my kids shirts. The only loyalty shown in football is by the supporters, get your own name or get something that means something to you.

17 Jul 2015 19:49:34
ED. Any further news on the Praet situation that you've heard of ?

{Ed002's Note - No.}

17 Jul 2015 19:50:48
This is my 1st post .

I am totally discusted in Fabian Delph. Not that he has chosen money and potential titles over staying at villa .

But because he is an absolute liar . shame on you Fabian, your an absolute joke .

I hope Gueye kicks you up in the air when you visit villa park

17 Jul 2015 21:15:54
In over 50 years of watching my club i have never known anything quite like this.its really bizarre
Fabian Delphs behaviour really is quite sickening and disrespectful.
I wonder what Charlie Aitken thinks of this sad saga.

18 Jul 2015 08:22:34
I totally agree with both of you above, it's not so much the fact he's left although that is disappointing. It is in the way he and the club allowed him to conduct himself.
The club should never have allowed him to release a statement essentially shafting us all last week, without knowing 100% certain he would not leave and this would only be solved if he'd signed a new contract. All the praise and support has only made this more bitter.

If he would have gone last Saturday i'd have been slightly disappointed, but probably be over it by now a week later.
It's not so disappointing because he's a top player, because he isn't he's good but he will never be top, and he will hardly improve warming cities bench. It's infuriating because he has embarrassed the club and the supporters AGAIN. And been allowed to get away with it!
Lots of people have commented how the club 'dont care' and this is quite obviously the case, else how have they allowed things to get this bad?
How did they let Sherwood state only a few days ago he expected Benteke to stay and praising Delphs loyalty, is there no communication??

17 Jul 2015 19:51:36
Whatever happens now, we just need to get some of the cash spent straight away. There are obvious targets there that are realistic but we need an established name up front. Hernandez, Austin, remember, Destra. I'm all for the likes of embolo but we need a proven goalscorer. Like to see us seriously go for praet now Chery and clasie have gone. Townsend and amavi would be great additions bit I read amavi needed convincing. Can't see these departures will have helped

18 Jul 2015 08:15:16
Chery hasn't signed for QPR yet we could still high-jack the deal if we wanted to, something tells me though we were never seriously interested, else why didn't we pursue our initial contact?

However I did see someone else mention on here that it might be all to do with keeping good QPR relations in regards to signing Austin or Phillips? Who knows?

17 Jul 2015 18:42:13
city confirm delph signing

17 Jul 2015 19:17:29
heres to a new chapter new squad fresh start after 4 dismal years we will invest wisely and quickly targets already lined up if not i would be very surprised

17 Jul 2015 19:13:09 Whats cheesing me off is why does it take us weeks to sign a player when city tie it all up in hours

17 Jul 2015 20:45:43
I was thinking the same thing myself
City managed to sign a player, lose him and sign him again in the space of a week.
How long has the Amavi deal been dragging ion ?
Makes you wonder at the competence of those at the top

17 Jul 2015 21:30:58
Could be that city are a bigger draw than AV.

17 Jul 2015 22:00:07
thats the saddest part about it

18 Jul 2015 09:37:43
The sad reality Oldvillain, is that all things being equal, City would not have been a bigger draw than us. The wage they can offer is the draw now ( I'm stating the obvious there , I know mate)
Makes you wish it was 1981again

17 Jul 2015 19:04:31
I hope we get the 40 mill yo reinvest on new players. But knowing us well spend 10 of it on crap and bank the rest .did have high hopes for next season not now.

17 Jul 2015 18:53:02
To say I'm gutted is a total understatement, have we fallen that far behind everyone else that we can't keep hold of our best players. This is one villa fan who's not looking forward to the season ahead.

17 Jul 2015 18:38:44
Hi all

Everton fan back to alter post

Posted last week praising Delph for loyalty

My mistake, it was a load of tosh, money talks and there is no loyalty whatsoever in football

Sorry guys you don't deserve what he done at all, he will regret that move in the end, should have stayed where he was worshipped, enjoy sitting on your arse Fabian

Shocking what he has done but you Villians are a tough bunch, shrug it off and move on guys

Good luck for next season

Degs

17 Jul 2015 18:33:03
Delph has gone! Why the u turn in the first place? City has prob said he can play 1-or 2 games this season

17 Jul 2015 17:53:58
Heard a rumour that David Unsworth had left his wife and will join Villa this weekend.

How can I post a pic up on here? If you zoom in to his head it is blatantly photoshopped

{Ed033's Note - You could upload the image using our Aston Villa pload image form

or you could type the link location to the image into our posting forms, i.e. http://www.domain-name.co.uk/image-file.jpg

17 Jul 2015 17:20:56
I have to eat my words I have just seen the video on Skysports, it really is him. I can't believe I just defended him.

17 Jul 2015 16:48:34
Delph seen going into Manchester medical centre, come on guys this is lazy journalism, the only passing resemblance is the fact that he's black! The most worrying thing for us is at the moment is players preferring to play championship football (chery) or now pushing through moves as takeover seems less and less likely

17 Jul 2015 16:42:26
It's funny really! Why would Delph need to go for a medical as he supposedly failed one last week?!?! Surely nothing's changed in a week. Hope this is all bs!

17 Jul 2015 16:37:39
Get over it guy's he's gone. Bye bye Delph.

17 Jul 2015 16:22:54
What the hell am i reading, hearing all over the place Delph medical Man City, if this is true totally embarrasing. Surely if its anything to do with BEN then he's not that naieve too of realised LFC. MAN U would of executed release clause of a quality striker although hate sometimes held ransom by his agent etc etc, I just hope this is all BS and it is a FAKE pic, then at least it will be BBC embarrased not us yet again :(

17 Jul 2015 15:51:43
Fabian Delph next 5 years if he signs for City Signs Bench Loses England place More Sitting on Bench Tries to go on Loan Sunderland

17 Jul 2015 15:11:59
well not one tell say "i told you so" but i only said earlier this week about delph jumping as soon as he has another chance and by looks of it today i was right, city move might be on again. so much for "i love this club and want to stay"

17 Jul 2015 14:26:03
Just read the delph move to Man city could be back on, I hope this is a hoax!!!

17 Jul 2015 14:14:07
According to sky sports Delph to city back on???

17 Jul 2015 14:05:47
What hell is delph doing???

17 Jul 2015 11:58:15
Just a thought. Didn't Arsenal try to buy Suarez a couple of years ago where they bid £1 over £40 mill to trigger a clause? Don't recall them getting to speak to Suarez let alone buy him? Redscouse held on to him & got nearly double when they sold. Should we do the same? They got £30+ mill more than what Sterling was actually worth so why shouldn't we hold out for more?

17 Jul 2015 13:39:50
Suarez didn't have a 40m buy out clause Arsenal just thought he had.

{Ed002's Note - It was not a "buy out" clause but there was a release clause that Arsenal invoked. Suarez threatened legal action over the matter.}

17 Jul 2015 16:09:11
If CB stays another season, does the business for Villa, smashes it at Euros, there's still a £32.5 mill release clause next summer then? With 1 year left on his contract in those circumstances we wouldn't lose out because everyone would want him. If he was really wanted by other clubs then he would be gone by now, wonder how he feels about that? Redscouse have bought Firmino who I'd never even heard of for £29 mill which is a punt, CB is a proven prem goalscorer in a team that wouldn't create half the chances of his supposed suitors, find it very odd????

17 Jul 2015 08:20:19
Ed.

I'm assuming that my posts have not made the thread through fear of offending!??
Now I've calmed down, I thank you!!
But. Please also stop some of these negative posts from moronic 'fans' sure they are doing so to annoy me!

{Ed001's Note - you send in nasty abusive posts referring to other teams or other fans, you are lucky you aren't just blocked. So no, I won't be deleting posts just because some abusive turd disagrees with them, if you don't like it, then don't read them. I really have no time for the likes of you, grow up and act like a civilized human being. They have every right to have a different opinion from you and not be abused by some neanderthal knuckle dragger with a chip on his shoulder who thinks he has the right to call others scum for disagreeing with his viewpoint. You are on your final warning.}

17 Jul 2015 08:33:36
Nice.
I assume that you accepted my apology, and the fact I thanked you for not posting.

{Ed001's Note - oh well so it is ok for you to send in multiple amounts of abuse, call me scum and then tell me what I should or shouldn't post because you said sorry for some of it? Oh and thanked me for not shaming you by posting your disgusting abuse at fellow Villa fans. Well that's ok then, even though you then proceeded to tell me I should just delete perfectly acceptable posts from other Villa fans because their views are different to yours.}

17 Jul 2015 10:16:27
No it's not ok, which is why I held my hands up and apologised. Lots are said and felt through frustration. If my posts offended, I once again say I am sorry.
To upset anyone, let alone a fellow villan is never my intention.

I tried in my original post on this thread to make light, apologise and move away from it, as with many things, a nights sleep often calm you down, make the red mist disperse and also help you to be a better man.

New season, new start. I'm sure any thing I sent didn't offend any one other than you, as wasn't posted, so to you personally I say sorry.

{Ed001's Note - ok, well let's just move on.}

17 Jul 2015 10:24:29
Well someones spending some time on the naughty step. Tut tut tut.
