“I’m not leaving. I’m staying at the football club and I can’t wait for the start of the season and captaining this great football club.”
That was the whole way back in July 11 though.
This is now.

Fabian Delph looks like he has gone back on his word – his second word – and performed a heartbreaking U-turn that has left Aston Villa fans thinking ‘what the hell is the point’.
The Aston Villa star, just last week, rebuffed claims that he would be leaving the club to join Manchester City. But, this week, he looks to be leaving the club to join Manchester City.

And, naturally, football fans far and wide got a good kick out of it. More naturally, some Villa supporters were at a loss with the betrayal of their best player only a day after Benteke’s move to Liverpool looks nailed on. Their reactions were still hilarious too.
I'm going for lunch. #Delph #AVFC https://t.co/599a08TeQd

This sums up the Villa fans who hailed Delph 'a ledge' for turning down City few days ago. https://t.co/QYr1ltLchg
