Fabian Delph

Mate, give me a second.

You've managed Fabian Delph, Owen Coyle, and John McGinlay.

[laughs]

And then you come and tell Dennis Bergkamp [laughs] to put some fire in his belly.

And then he goes to Bayern Munich, and it's actually Philipp Lahm's going to play center midfield, and that's the catalyst here.

Goes to Man City, and Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva get moved off the wings and into central midfield, and Fabian Delph is playing as a inverted left back.

It doesn't always need that, I don't think.

And I don't think...

Oh.

It's Fabian Delph.

After that- That's a good one ...

Leeds United loan.

We've replaced these players with Champions League experience, with international experience.

It's not like the 2015-16 season where we lost Benteke, we lost Delft, we lost Vlaar, and we replaced them with Rudi Gusted from the Championship, and we replaced them with unknowns from abroad.

We are replacing them with... proven pedigree and also younger players who can be here for years to come that we can then go on to sell for profit obviously today is an ideal absolutely understand that but we are you look at the team that we put out today and we are absolutely nowhere near where we need to be and I again people will go well you know that's the club's fault for not being where we need to be for when the season starts wrong incorrect grow a set of bollocks and realise that everything isn't going to happen straight away.

Yes, it's not ideal, but we will absolutely get there.

... and he actually means it for another person.

I do remember, do you remember the first Manchester City doc, the All or Nothing? Fabian Delph turns out to be the most vocal leader in the Man City-

Mm

... dressing room that time.

I don't think the fee is egregious.

We spent more on Fabian Delph than we did Christian Norgaard.

So just kind of put that two and two together.

I think he, like you mentioned, was so good at Brentford, just kind of one of their key guys to really just, of course, disrupt the attack.
