Neither do I, they're both mince. You love a foreigner an exotic name, you've not watched enough of Delph if you're labelling him 'average' it's as simple as that. Alternatively you wouldn't know a player from an alehouse hacker......
No English bias whatsoever - I just appreciate good players. Maybe your definition of 'good' is lower than mine. We have a few foreigners in our team that I don't think are good enough i.e. Skrtel, Lovren, Lucas, Enrique. And 'snobery' works both ways - some people were having a go at Markovic for his early displays and called him sh*t, disregarding his potential and the ability he showed at Partizan and Benfica. But because he's some 'unknown foreigner', lets write him off straight away. Btw, I think there a lot of talented English players - Barkley, Clyne, Ward-Prowse, Chambers, Stones to name a few.
Delph is just a poor mix of a Wilshire and shelvey. Wilshire in that he picks the ball up and tries to go back players but doesn't really offer and type of goal scoring threat. And shelves because he can be extremely rash and slides in a lot picking up yellow and always risking a red card tackle. Hope we stay clear especially as he'd likely cost about 15m with english tax added on top
Made me laugh that he's meant to be Gerrard's replacement, I'm guessing they mean in terms of the holding role alone Definitely better options for £15m but will we venture away from the British market?
He's out of contract next summer and has told them he won't be re-signing, he'll fetch a token fee - £2-3m at a guess.
I'm some one who likes Delph. I really wanted him in the England team. But International football requires a different player mentality (which I believe Delph has). Not for Liverpool. Would any one welcome some one like Toulalan?
Pjanic from Roma would be my number 1. Think he's a classy player when ever I've seen him and still only 24
Roma are pretty solid atm though. He gets more promise of trophies there unfortunately. De Rossi may be ready to try his luck in the PL.
They're very similar to us. Came so close to winning the title but this year out of the CL and as far as I remember are a bit off the leaders. Italy also only has 3 CL teams so probably has as much chance of CL with us.
He can be good and at times very good but I've also seen the game Pass him by and some extremely poor games from him. He seems more consistent lately and this is why he's had the England call up. Do I want him? No he's not good enough IMO.
Could be a few Players playing in Russia planning an exit with the Russian clubs struggling to pay their wages with the economic crises over there...
