Shame because he has some potential but he'll get more action at Villa so good luck to him.


seen delph a few times and he looks a good prospect

No doubt he`ll end up playing for a much bigger club than villa and they`ll make a nice little earner off of him. Do think its a bit early for people to be classing him as a potential superstar.

Wilshire at arsenal is world class for his age. But that wont mean sod all if he doesnt improve his game every single season and just stagnates into a trick pony ala:joe cole.

Remember seeing joey as a 16 year old running rings around every single player on the pitch and people around were claiming he would be the next george best. Never quite worked out for joe because he got too much too early and didnt push on like he should of done.
I don't know, i think he looks real good because the standard of players around him isn't that high. Found out that Villa had a bid accepted, Leeds' had agreed to sell, we came in with an offer that matched it, Leeds wanted more (£4m more) and that's why we said we wanted to think about it - he's not worth £10m. Leeds rejected this in case we decided to simply pull out. Bates' made out in the press that we made a bid and then asked for time to think about it.

Moyes has told Lescott that any transfer request will be rejected and made public. This annoys me because Moyes went on a rant earlier in the week about conducting transfers properly and then Everton go and make the Lescott bid public, their Senderos bid public and no he's threatening to make Joleon's transfer request public. We're getting some serious shit form the press when we haven't made a single bid public.

Villa made the Barry story public, Barca made the Eto'o one public, Chelsea made the Terry one public and now Everton with the Lescott one. How are you supposed to conduct transfers these days?


f*ck lescott, delph, eto.....are you in for upson, green, parker etc
