League One - Leeds deny Everton deal for Delph

Eurosport - Wed, 10 Jun 17:17:00 2009

Leeds have dismissed reports that teenage midfielder Fabian Delph is poised to complete a £4 million move to Everton.

FOOTBALL 2008-2009 League One Leeds United Fabian Delph - 0

Delph, 19, linked with a host of Premier League clubs following an impressive first season in Simon Grayson's Leeds side, is reported to have opted for a switch to Goodison Park ahead of Manchester United, Fulham and Sunderland.

But Leeds chief executive Shaun Harvey said: "Despite the speculation, there have been no offers for Fab since the end of the season."

Harvey continued: "At this stage of the year speculation is always rife, although it's never helpful."

Delph, who made 51 appearances during his breakthrough season, signed a new four-year contract at Elland Road in September.

He won his first England Under-21 cap against the Czech Republic in November and scooped his club's players' player of the year, young player of the year and goal of the season awards.

  1. @#$%... ? that makes my swear word look really bad.­ All i said was (@#$%).

  2. Steven G! (Gerrard) i can't believe that your­ scouse @#$% comes on here pickin on little leeds.­ Thought you'd have bigger fish to fry obviously you­ still find leeds as a threat even though we're 2­ leagues behind you. Nevermind we'll be back before­ you retire to give you a good hiding!

  3. I think all the players should stay at L**ds another­ season then it'll be another easy 6 points for us­ at Town and another season in the doldrums for L**ds ­ Come on the terriers!!!

  4. Leeds wont let him go for anything less than 7 million­ and nobody is gonna pay that so looks like he's­ staying.
    As for beckford, he's only willing to move­ from leeds to a premiership club or maybe a top­ championship club, boro or newcastle so i've heard.­ Looks like he'll be at leeds next season too.

  5. why go to man u when we are a better team then them!­ COME HOME TO THE TOFFES!

  6. Why do Leeds fans continue in this dillusional state of­ believing you will be a big club again some day soon.­ With your fanbase and history you should have romped it­ last season, if Master Bates wnated success he could­ click his fingers and get the right players and staff­ to lift Leeds back to their former glory. HE­ DOESN'T WANT TO!. He's getting huge crowds and­ paying very small wages, in the meantime putting plenty­ in his back pocket. WAKEY WAKEY!!!!

  7. Correct Tommy Gun 4u! He vanished in the big games and­ , though showed some touches of class, was not­ consistent enough in the latter games. Needs to stay at­ Leeds and be nurtured to Premiership quality over the­ next few years. Granted, should he improve to that­ standard prior to Leeds getting promotion there­ themselves, let him go for the right fee. Hopefully,­ unlike Beckford, he may show some loyalty to the fans­ and back- room team that have brought him this far. It­ will be rewarded in the long run.
    By the way­ tumgeshpower, you are a clueless @#$%! I suppose you­ want to wind Leeds fans up. Doesn't work unless you­ intersperse, (thats mix for you thicko!), some valid­ comment, or knowledge, with your usual ramblings!

  8. hes not good enough for the prem and wont be for at­ least 2 years,he went missing in all leeds big­ games,but stared against the poorer teams,best to stay­ at leeds and develop there. WHITE FOR EVER.

    From TOMMY GUN 4U, on Wed 10 Jun 6:02PM

  9. ur all @#$%s...hes stayin at leeds....

    From GD, on Wed 10 Jun 3:59PM

  10. why go to any of thoes clubs when he can stay at leeds­ and dominate l1 and championship and be part of a club­ that has risen from the depth and become a premiership­ player for his own club

    From tumgeshpower, on Wed 10 Jun 1:28PM

    From Martyn, on Wed 10 Jun 1:21PM

  16. Why go to ManUre and rot in the reserves for a­ season....WACCOE

    From Bazza, on Wed 10 Jun 12:28PM

  17. to go to manu sounds like a dream but the reality is­ fabien will probably get shoved in the reseves and­ loaned out to other teams.if he signs for everton at­ least he will get to play the game

    From Sarah, on Wed 10 Jun 12:09PM

  18. move to man u and he'll never get a game... move to­ the toffees and he'll be champions in europe in 2­ years time
