Fabian Delph

[lets all have a disco]

Whatever else is happening this transfer has nothing to do with whether Pogba comes or not. The fact that Vidal is going to Barcelona, however, is a probable indication that he's staying at Juventus this window. If Laporta wins tomorrow he'll bust a gut to get him next summer. Even if Bartomeu wins he will also likely make him top priority. If we are really prepared to bust the bank Juventus might crack knowing they will get much less from Barca next year. The player clearly wants Barca and might accept a tad less from them than from anyone else. Let's face it if we lose to Barca it's no disgrace.

Juve signed Khadiera and want gotze.

Just been announced as an official signing. Hilarious

[Wooders]

Confirmed

[blues2win]

The player's agent made a statement yesterday saying that if Laporta won tomorrow he'd probably get Pogba. This was read reasonably enough as an attempt to help Laporta in the election.

Fabtastic. I think he'll do well. Glad he sorted himself out.

Welcome Fabs.

cheers

Young people learn the hard way that sometimes it's just better to shut the fuck up so as not to make a cock of yourself. Still good signing though

[blues2win]

Here we go. Suggestions we've signed Delph because we missed out on Pogba. What a lot of bollocks. If we had got Pogba- and we still might- we'd have got Delph anyway. Two English midfielders out and two in. He's 8 million which is a bargain which was a huge point in his favour. Will Fernando make way? Interesting to see. He's a young guy who's a bit of an arse of himself as we all have at his age. If he plays well next season it will be quickly forgotten.

Welcome Fab!



You've controversially completed a transfer akin to Figo, now go play like him (or half of him.... or a third... a third will do)

[Saul Goodman]

Lots of dark skinned bald men in midfield.
Hate to be the commentator when we play at Spurs with that ridic camera angle. Cant tell who is who.

Was really surprised at the commentary one game when Yaya was in AFCON and we were playing with Fernando and Fernandinho in midfield and the commentator said "All commentators cant wait for Yaya to return from AFCON.." making the point that he could not tell the difference between the two midfielders.

I thought it was pretty boarderline to say something like that:P People are so sensitive I could easily see someone claiming it to be racist and meaning "they all look the same" or something like that.

[getdressedmctavish]

I'm always misidentifying them, probably evidence that I'm racist.

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

Deffo the transfer is back on. The local press here said that we came back with a better offer.

I think all comes down to money, nothing more. No playing time, not prestige, just plain old money.

He's getting the same money he was offered last week.

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

Brennan finally catches up on story. Says Delph move definitely back on unless he changes his mind again

Chortle.

It's an odd one, that's certain.

Rumour is Pogba and his people are being paid so they can use his name. Beckham (surprise, surprise) has done something similar in the past.

Glad this is sorted! Welcome fabs!

For people who were mad at Micah earlier:

@MCFC: DELPH: "@MicahRichards told me that as far as he is concerned, this is the best club in the world and he had the time of his life here."
