View from the Gwladys Street: Fabian Delph and why his transfer completely goes against Everton’s transfer policy

Fabian Delph may not be the star studded signing many Everton fans crave this Summer, but you won’t hear anyone moaning about the £9million purchase on this podcast. Marco Silva and Marcel Brands have gone against the grain with this transfer. The model of buying up and coming young, hungry, ambitious players, on low wages completely thrown out of the window with this one.Is that necessarily a bad thing, however? Delph may not be all those but what he does offer is a wealth of experience, a winning mentality, versatility and a real eagerness to play football. This week, host Ian Croll is joined by regular guest Connor Bennett and first timer Simon Paul, from the NSNO Everton Twitter account. The lads share their thoughts on the Delph transfer which quickly turned to a positive discussion of what he may bring to the squad. The remaining segments of the podcast includes discussion over what to do over Kurt Zouma, who should be next club captain following the release of Phil Jagielka and can we trust Keane and Mina to form a partnership as formidable as the main two from last season?All that and more.
