Define 'improved'.

 

Yeah, even if we had a goalie with no arms, Adam Bogdan wouldn't really be an improvement.

 

So no ones going to mention Delph has done a u turn and signed for Man City?

 

I think guys have been highly insulting to bogdan as none of you have bothered to take a look.

He came as a younger player to Bolton in the prem and took over from jussi jaaskelainen. He's stayed there due to injuries and they wanted him to stay and we grabbed him as a useful cheap option.

He's not crap, incompetent or unable to fulfil the required role.

 

Don't really care. He doesn't improve them at all its like they went back and added 50% on top of wages and he said ah **** it I'll retire then. Bench warmer personified here.

 

Another one for the Hg quota, he will be used more than you may think.

 

Just put this in the transfer thread but since it's the topic on here...

 

"Leaving Aston Villa football club is the hardest decision I have ever had to make.

"I have had some amazing times and made great friends during my time at the club. I will always be thankful to them for giving me the opportunity to play in the Premier League.

"As has been widely reported, I initially turned down the opportunity to join Manchester City. That decision was purely down to the love I have for Aston Villa and their great supporters.

When I was made captain of Villa it was a huge honour for me and I took the responsibility incredibly seriously. I signed a new contract last season with the view of staying at the club for the duration of the deal and never with the intention of leaving a year later.

"My decision to stay initially was purely based on the emotion and feelings that I hold for the club and the people there rather than looking at the football opportunity that had been placed in front of me."

So what in the last week has changed that made you do a U-turn?

A. Your love for Villa
B Your love for the fans
C The footballing opportunity placed in front of you

Or

D They offered me a shed load more money

 

E Villa are selling the only decent player at the club to Liverpool

F I'd madea rash decision last week

 

G I've swapped agents to Aidy Ward and he told me it's best for my career

 

H I'm a money grabbing **** and Villa are ****

 

Water carrier?

Seriously though...... where and when? League cup? As a sub?

He's not going to be a first team player is he? If so they are going to be getting weaker.

 

He's an improvement on Fernando actually.. so depends how City set up.

However it's quite some step down from the targets they were being linked with like Pogba

 

They have just paid £44m for Sterling and I imagine he will get game time at the start of the season so no reason to think Delph won't.

 

Yep

 

Name their 11 with those two in then.....

 

Hart
Zabaleta Kompany Mangala Kolarov
Delph Fernandinho
Sterling Silva Nasri
Aguero​

 

I can't name our 11 never mind theirs

 

Fernando cost them how much and they played milner then there's Fernandinho too.

 

Looks about right
