Hafnia Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 Romey I don't put posts up to have them deleted. If you want to move it to a gana thread then feel free but I don't expect to have a non offensive constructive post deleted. It's a forum ffs. Unless my post around the difference between position and role needed deleting for a genuine reason then I expect it to magically reappear or is this GOT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c1982 Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 I’d have Delph over McCarthy (since his injuries), Schneiderlin and Besic but wouldn’t want him unless we sold all 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Blue Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 If we sign Delph its because Gana is going. Delph would not come to a club to play second fiddle, he wants game time. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevO Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Mark is deadly serious. We’ve got about four threads all about Gana now. I’m as guilty as anyone for getting sucked into it.

I don't know what would be worse tbh - him in our starting 11 every week or him sat on the bench earning huge wages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 i don't like him as a person, but as a footballer 8m is cheap, this could be a Barry type move. cautiously optimistic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1982 Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 As referred to, he’ll be a good leader. If we’re building a young squad, we’ll need a few older heads. We moan about not having that character that will get in the ref’s ear - well Delph will do that. Seemed a good character in the dressing room too having watched the Citeh doc. He was excellent at the end of his Villa career and Pep’s no mug - Delph played 89 games over 4 seasons under him (albeit at left back for many).

Finn balor Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 According to talksport it’s done. £8 mill. I didn’t want him particularly but we sell Besic to Fulham for £5 mill, McCarthy for £10 and maybe even Morgan. I’m sure his wages will be steep though. But he’s only 29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggytop Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 At £8m compared to Mings at £20m I know who I'd rather have, seems like a sound bit of business to me Matt, StevO and markjazzbassist 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn balor Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 McCarthy, besic and Morgan to go. I didnt want him at £16mill but in this day an age that’s a fair price. Just not for us. At £8 million though? I’m happy with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it reported as a 3 year deal which seems about right. I agree that this might spell the end for MS. I'd expect Besic and McCarthy to move on regardless.

c1982 Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 £8.5m rising to £10m. I see him as a replacement to Besic, McCarthy and maybe Schneiderlin not a replacement to Gueye. If we sell Gueye, I see us buying a younger player in the same mould (as Gueye) - a few players in the French league have been mentioned. I think Davies and Williams will be kept around the 1st team as squad options so having the experience of Delph is a smart move in my opinion.

Bill Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 Waste of time this one, nobody else wants him so he's never going to move us to the next level, I know the fee is looked at as cheap but its his wages and his age that we dont need. Would rather give Davies more time as cover for midfield. StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 I'm going to absolutely love seeing him in our starting 11 every week. I wish I was still drunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn balor Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 Yeah he’s a had few bad injuries but so has McCarthy. Besic, McCarthy and Morgan to go so with his versatility he can cover and will probably on similar wages to Morgan. If gana goes I think we will buy someone else to replace him. I know he divides opinion but I think it’s a good move for all concerned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Struggled with injury and isn’t likely to get into a side like theirs very much at this point but everyone seems to agree he’s a good character to have around and very much still premier league quality. Most were quoting prices £12-£20m a month or two ago so excellent bit of business for £8m. We get an experienced leader with some versatility who provides depth to our squad and they get a player they aren’t likely to use much who only had a year on his contract off the books. Doesn’t hurt that he’s English either. London Blue and pete0 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nogs Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 Considering some of the names people pluck out of thin air and talk about like they'll make us a top 4 team, dunno why anyone would be anything other than made up at the prospect of signing a 29 year old utility player who has won two league titles and has a 20 England caps for £8m. I just can't see any negatives. Shukes and EFC-Paul 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't see any negatives. Look how important Milner has been for both Liverpool and City in recent years. By no means a bad signing and will add some leadership into the squad. If he gives a 7/10 every week at LB, CM, CDM, LM I'd be made up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
