Evans is weak physically for a centre half, injury prone, never looks a senior player despite the fact that he's twenty seven, and has never really had the spine for the offside trap. Made up to be getting eight million in and seventy grand off the wage bill.

He looked plenty senior during the run of 14 consequtive clean sheets in 08-09, where he was near ever present. Had fine dealing of the offside trap generally during 09-12, where United were generally defensively sound and he probably started more games at cnetre half than anyone

I don't know, Evans seems to me to be the latest in a long list of Utd players that are supposedly rubbish but yet have contributed strongly on title winning sides.

Exactly this. Up there with Phil Neville, Nicky Butt and Park

To me Stones is still all potential. You couldn't stick him in there at a team fighting for major silverware and expect him to perform to that level every week. An English Zouma at a lower level where he is able to get the first team football he needs that Zouma isn't getting.

Arsenal paid 15m for Chambers so Stones is probably worth a little more

Fabian Delph has apparently been pictured at City's Medical place

Meanwhile:

Espanyol president Joan Collet: "We have reached an agreement with Real Madrid of €6m for Kiko Casilla".

Signing of the summer so far

The whole Evans/Stones debate is funny. Evans is probably expected to partner Stones in the long run (provided they keep Stones) due to Jagielka's age and likely departure/retirement. They have also let Alcaraz and Distin leave so they do really need a CB. Evans is an experienced CB. Its not rocket science.

Delph waving bye bye to his England career and hello to a big cheque?

Must have thought "I can outdo Raheem Sterling for leaving a club badly".

Only the picture there again no quotes or anything and they aren't definitive using terms like it seems.

I'm still calling bull plop, show me a time stamp on the photo and I'll change my tune otherwise meh nothing to see here just last weeks pic being used to troll Villa / city fans

Well it's supposed to be originating from a reliable source. Delph will look like some eejit if this happens.

I'm sure his 100-whatever-k a week will make up for any eejit looking

BBC running with it now.

Delph must have seen Sinclairs bank balance. So you get paid for nothing? Where do I join? I'd say its like the Begovic deal. He'll collect his money for 2 - 3 years then either move and play elsewhere or just accept a career on the bench getting wealthy.

Might be nothing to with Delph. Villa might need/want the money and are accepting bids. If Delph doesn't feel wanted then who can blame him. All he has to say is that he was shown the door by villa

He has a release clause.

Starting to think it's all bull**** actually.

Perhaps the sale of benteke changed his mind

Well City need someone for Sterling to chat with on the bench every week.

And now I think it's happening, I'm fickle.

The BBC are running it without any allegedly, reportedly, etc.

Delph knew full well of Benteke's situation, using that as an excuse is bull****. It just would have needed a club to bid the clause.

rob316

I'd really worry or Villa, Delph and Benteke gone. Going to take some serious smart reinvestment to take them away from nailed on relegation candidates.

Vlaar might draw his conclusions as well. Free agent since july 1st

Already really gone to be honest, won't be the biggest of losses either.

Vlaar is long gone.

Okay. A current Dutch international is no loss for Aston Villa.
