I'm not going to take it as set in stone (Delph), and I think he is a decent player, but how many top clubs would be after him?
Answer. None
There is a reason he is at Villa, there is a reason top clubs won't want him..
I think the next window or two is key to really seeing how we see ourselves.. A lot of the fan base are frustrated with our recent business, well if we only target and bring in 'decent' players that deepening resentment will grow
That top 4 (in terns of recent traditional) don't have squads full of 'decent' players, they have quality supplemented with 'decent' and top end to make the difference
I'm sorry but if we are full of Delph's and we don't get more ambitious and creative with our players then we may as well accept our place in the new world order.. We had that Cream on top last season and it showed... I'd we don't look to that level again we can't compete with that level, not in the modern game.
If a Delph was added to pure top end quality then fine but a squad of Delph's.... Well there is a ceiling to their potential and the best won't be worried
