Aston Villa Rumours Archive July 11 2015

My Citeh mate says there are strong runours in Manchester that Delph failed his medical.
Sour grapes? Or a legacy of his old injuries?

11 Jul 2015 22:40:34
I've seen this rumour floating about online, not sure how true, hope it isn't and that he just had a change of heart and realised he would be jeopardising his England place. Now we can move on, well chuffed kozak played and scored today, great to see him back in the claret and blue

{Ed007's Note - It sounds like sour grapes to me but I'll try and find out from Ed002 if there's any truth in it.}

Can't see how a regular player would fail a medical ( I suppose it's possible)
However, anyone else find it odd that Lerner was in town and he changed his mind?
Maybe Lerners had a word in his ear, hopefully good times around the corner for us fans with regards to a takeover

I read somewhere earlier that Delph changed his decision because of fan threats, I think this is just gutter press and I don't think that was his reason for staying as I suppose most players that leave a club receive a certain amount of unsavoury comments.

I very much doubt that it would have been because of fan threats. If he was worried Citeh,s owners could afford bodyguard for him! As for the comment "cant see how regular players would fail a medical", if that were the case, why would clubs spend so much money and effort putting players through them if there were no chance of failing them?

I think we should just take it at face value that FB looked at his options including money, playing time, England prospects etc: Weighed all that up against leaving a club he likes and is respected as a player, (and maybe knows there are brighter days ahead for us), and chose to stay.

Well done him because you can be sure the advice from agents would have been to leave. I am delighted he is staying, we were definitely a better team when he was playing last season.

1st time poster, give Delph more money, scrap any buy out clause, build team around him, Richards, Clark, Guzan (not getting credit he deserves, form is temporary, class/desire is permanent) Grealish, Tekkers or Austin, good spine of team, thinking of probable buys for other positions, waiting for takeover 1st. What does everybody think?

12 Jul 2015 13:58:02
Guzan

Walker Richards Clark Gibbs

Bacuna Gueye Delph

Chery Grealish

Tekkers or Austin
👍🏻? 👎🏻?

can any one shed any light on what is happening re the proposed transfer of chery or the takeover

Absolutely chuffed that Delph is staying. I will eat a piece of that humble pie. I do think he'll only be staying this year as he knows he'll have to be a regular to stay in the England side for the Euros but credit where it's due. He could have just took the money. Fair play Fabian. Now that's the sort of guy I want wearing the captains armband. Let's build a team around him this summer so that we can have a decent season and make it even harder for him to leave.

If delph is staying then something BIG is going down.roll on next week!

11 Jul 2015 21:32:25
I'm glad he is staying too but if you think he is only going to be here until next season why should we build a team around him. What's the point if he goes before the side is even finished. Better off building a team where any player can leave and there is quality cover for the position.

Delph staying, phew !!

Well done son, was feeling low yesterday with the news he was off to citeh,

Good lad, stay with us and be a legend for the biggest and most original club in England.

Loyalty is king 👏👏👏👏

Don't know what stopped him if it was a medical because I was told we have changed how he trains because of his knees but all I know it was a no brainier staying at a club where he is loved and could be a legend like Paul McGrath just think he is not good enough for a top four club great player but just not there yet what do you lot think ?????

Delph announced he staying at villa. Now just for benteke

11 Jul 2015 17:47:09
Very happy with the news regarding Delph. I wouldn't be surprised if he has been advised against a move by Richards and Sinclair, also would not be surprised if he has spoken to Mr.Hodgson regarding his Euro 2016 chances with restricted game time at City.

I think we need to be logical with regards to Delph. Personally I'm gutted he has left, thank him for what he did for the villa last year, and the season before, and hope he plays, and grows with the standard of players he will be with. He shone at villa, looked at times a world beater, one of two things will happen, he will stay as he is, sink at the challenge of being a small fish in every big pond, or, and I hope and actually think that it will be this, that he will keep getting better, improve to the standard he is now playing with, and rule the England midfield.
As regards to his buy out, leaving after signing his new contract, and loyalty?!!
I think we should pat him on back, and thank him for what he has done. He would be leaving for zero, yet because of what the club did for him, stood by him, he stayed, with a buy out, so both the club, and player benefit. Intelligent, unique and fair. I think he meant his speech, and wish him well.
Someone has offered to probably double his pay, play in champions league, and let's be honesty win a trophy so he can hold his head high. He has done nothing no one who is on this page wouldn't of done. And we support the villa, he is from Bradford, and is a Leeds fan!

Thank you Fabian, as with out you we would be a championship side. Good luck, and I will applaud you when you come back to vp.

i agree totally and hope he does well, but would have liked him to stay

11 Jul 2015 16:14:22
delphi staying just released a statement happy days

Been watching the news unfold about Delph and got to say I think it's such a terrible shame and waste, I think it goes to show that footballers behave like MP's nowadays can't trust a word that comes out of their mouth! I think he made it worse we all the "villa is my club " " we want bigger and better things" speech !! But his not irreplaceable and will look like a very small fish in a big man city pond! And will end up on the bench as we have seen before with Milner and Barry! I think the fact Benteke is away in Portugal training with the lads is a good sign? And I hope he stays even if it's just 1 more season think we are owed a little loyalty as villa fans? On the upside another 2 new signings might not be Ronaldo or messi but some decent players in the team just got to get them working better together ! UTV

Think this is a big mistake for Delph he isn't as good as everyone was saying yea ok he looked good for a season in a poor team one of the worst teams I've seen down at villa what a waste for the lad could of made this move in another two years but now his career is over look what happened to Rodwell now his stuck up at Sunderland and who would wanna be up there 😂

11 Jul 2015 12:14:40
agree,agree,agree, both chunkryan/rach123 he is a average player at best shame on him for telling all us villa boys how much in love with the villa I am very angry though that some idiot put that 8 mil get out pratt we will not miss him lads so let's get behind ts and team let them know how true supporters love our club buy some real talent and move on holt enders in the sky.

11 Jul 2015 16:38:35
