Fabian Delph, Idrissa Gueye and Shay Given: Two out maybe and one in

It used to be that if it was on the BBC and getting reported as something that was going to happen, then I'd believe it as face. But the BBC is becoming as bad as that HITC website that posts about how supporters react on Twitter to something. But this Delph thing is everywhere this morning.

The thing that surprises me is this that as a loyal person, why isn't he using his Instagram account to deny this speculation. Okay, I know why he isn't and it just goes to demonstrate why the game is broken. And look, we know it's PR, but why say those things in the PR, why couldn't Delph just said that this was his club and that right now I want to be here and that's why I am committing my future.

Why did he have to say that he was a loyal person and that he loved the club and then why did he have to say that this was to show everyone what type of guy he was? All he's doing now, if this deal goes through, is showing everyone what type of guy he really is. He's showing his family and friends that he isn't a loyal guy. He's showing everyone that he's a liar.

But that is if it happens. I still want to believe that he is a loyal person and that he really does love the club and that he's going to come out and say this is what I want and this is why I'm staying. But I suspect his wife has a say and I suspect this is all part of something agreed a long time ago. If it happens.

And this is just more proof that football is broken. If Delph goes to Manchester City to sit on the bench (because for a lot of the time he will) he'll still get picked for England and he'll still have this perceived level of fame or status, but it all comes down to money. He'd not go to Manchester City if they offered less.

But if he wants to go, we should embrace that when Manchester City come to Villa Park next season. But I feel sorry for him, his family and his future .. if this happens and yes, I know it's just a game and it's PR but how can anyone believe anything he says in the future? The penny just dropped - absolutely everything in football is PR - we're all mugs. In other news Aston Villa have signed Idrissa Gueye and Shay given has gone too.
