By now, it’s pretty safe to say that the concept of loyalty in football is about as realistic as the thought of Ashley Cole going a day without checking his bank balance.
After seeing Raheem Sterling up and leave for Manchester City, Fabian Delph’s decision to stay at Aston Villa was a breath of fresh air – or so it seemed.
Less than a week after the player claimed he was happy to stay at Villa, he has apparently been spotted having a medical at Manchester City – and the internet had something to say. Quite a lot, in fact.

I will see you a Raheem and raise you a Fabian…
Just when I thought i was impossible for someone to out-snake Raheem Sterling, in swoops Fabian Delph.

If Delph goes to Man City, he will undoubtedly become one of the biggest t**** in footballing history. #avfc #mcfc

What is Delph playing at?! He's Captain playing week in week out and playing for England? Scott Sinclair all over again.

Does anyone know what is going on?
Just imagine the scenes if Delph has done a U-turn on his U-turn 😂😂😂😂😂

This Fabian Delph story is turning into one of the maddest transfers in Premier League history. https://t.co/hCH14OxIq1

From Milner and Lampard to Sterling and Delph. This is a major improvement.

Fabian Delph would be a great signing/ He's not good enough / He's signing for City / We're not in for him
