Fabian Delph’s Blues career looked over before it had properly begun at the start of 2017.

After an injury-plagued campaign last year,detský futbalový dres s vlastným menom more setbacks this season saw him firmly behind Yaya Toure, Ilkay Gundogan and Fernandinho.

The England man was so far down the pecking order that the announcement he had undergone successful surgery came as news to many that didn’t even know he was having any!

When he still couldn’t get in the team as the transfer window came round, talk of a move to Newcastle seemed reasonable; the conclusion that Delph wasn’t up to Pep Guardiola’s standards was universally accepted…until this week.

Guardiola conceded after starting the player against Chelsea – his first in the league this season – that he had perhaps not given Delph as many minutes as he should have done.

He said it again a few days later and then picked him again for this match.

Going off two solid but unspectacular appearances, he should not make the first team next season.

But there are definitely merits to keeping a 27-year-old homegrown player that can play in various positions in the squad.

If you’re looking to convert players into full-backs futbalove dresy barcelona happy to move centrally, Delph seems a better bet than Navas.
