I wouldn't say he would have set City alight had he signed but he's a solid enough pro. English too and these days, there's a hefty premium to pay for English players.

After everyone fawning over what a smart decision he made....
I can only assume Villa did something to upset him or it was a negotiation tactic on the part of Delph to get a better deal.

I can't see city getting De Bruyne or Pogba so it would be funny if Delph is the big midfield signing for this summer
Not sure I've ever seen a player publically commit like that and then U turn so quickly? Villa fans are going to go bonkers!
He should have kept his mouth shut. If he didn't come out with those comments, no one would care.Is this really happening? I can't believe it. Villa fans will be livid and they have every right to be.
Pogba's going to Barca at some point isn't he? No wonder they were so keen to hang on to Milner.
Apparently, shirt sales with Delph on the back skyrocketed after his comments last week. I'd be furious if I was a Villa fan right now.
Looks like it. Yep can't see many good options left for city
I can only think that in the last few days Delph has found out that Sherwood has been having a go on his mum or girlfriend for this to happen.
Maybe letting someone have a 8m buyout in their contract wasn't advisable. Villa are getting what they deserve. Although Delph is also a dickhead.
Astonishing stuff.
It was £8m or £0
They are saying he is signing exactly the same deal he turned down the other day.
Looks like his wife or agent smacked him upside the head and pointed to the contract one last time.
What a mess.Delph leaving the hospital after medical (and an irate Villa fan

Villa are doomed.
Villa fans are going spare about this. Don't blame 'em.
Maybe he didn't want to out shine Schweinsteiger last week?
Credibility is overrated.Imagine he failed his medical now.
Genuinely didn't realise he was their captain as well. What a cnut.
At least he joins the right club then.
this is so weird.Can't blame him for leaving that dumpster fire, but he shouldn't have declared his loyalty last week. cnut move.
This is fantastic
Kinda reminds of that Odemwingie debacle..
To 'do a Delph': to say you'll do something implicitly and then turn around and do the complete opposite.
Delph would make a brilliant politician..
this would have been funnier if it were happening to liverpool. i dont really hate Villa that much. Actually feel sorry for them. Mind you its hilarious, just wish this is how sterling transfer panned out
He's joining the right club then, what a cnut.
All that's left for him to do is kiss City's bade when he plays at Villa Park.

That's Villa now losing another player; following Vlaar leaving, Given leaving & Benteke looks nailed on to leave also. Thats the spine of that team gone now..
It's such a shame that yet another promising English player that I rate quite highly has just thrown away his career in one moment just to get more money, and people wonder why England never produces real talents it's because they get signed by teams like City and never given a chance.
...and that it's always been his dream to play for City - the best club in England..
Kane needs to do a Delph and join us this season
His favourite player growing up was Jeff Whitley.
