So we are favourites to sign Delph on loan down to 4-1 with the bookies, I personally think he would be a great signing at this time of the season.....
I voted maybe. Depends on his dedication to the cause if he did sign. Nothing short of 110% from whoever comes in will be good enough for me. Hope he'd be willing to put that in plus he's never played in the championship
He could cover def midfielder definitely would be a good quality player for us , were all Leeds after all !!!
DM? So who does he replace? Bridcutt? Phillips? Viera? O'Kane? And would his signing help develop Romario Viera, Ronaldo's twin, who appears to be coming on leaps & bounds? No, don't want him. We have 4 very good to excellent DMs, and 1 almost certainly to come. I'd be happy with 3. 5 would be OTT. And paying to have 6 would be nonsence & a waste of money IMO.
I spotted Delph playing in the reserves when everyone was wittering about on bbc606 some Scandinavian winger who was useless and never made it When he was sold was the day I realised they were always going to take short term gain over long term success. I was gutted then but now I'm only a maybe, I would hate us to do anything to undermine the way this midfield is shaping up. However there's the argument that we need quality cover, Vieira for example is very young and players that age do suffer dips in form. So if Monk wants him I guess we should go for him, he's for sure a good player.
Can only say maybe. Head says no, heart says yes, if he comes in it's because Monk sees where he'll fit knowing the squad inside out, and that's good enough for me.
This squad doesn't need a big time Charlie like Delph, and anyway Viera is already better than he was at 18, with Romario following on close behind We're so well covered in defensive midfield, like WJ says we've already got four or five excellent players there Wasn't too long ago the only half decent DM we had was the 67 year old Michael Brown
Guess we shall have to wait and see but my guess is Monk isn't really interested in him unless it is a loan to purchase option should we get promoted.
