Football is business! Fabian Delph joins Manchester City from Aston Villa

It is still funny football fans still talk about loyalty in football, fans need to understand that football is a business for investors and means of livelihood for players bounded by contracts and agreements.

This is a topic for another day...

Now to the news that is causing the uproar - Aston Villa skipper Fabian Delph has signed for Manchester city less than a week after saying he was staying at Villa.

The transfer fee is reported to be £8m and he signed a five year contract with the former Premier League Champions.

"At just 25 years old, he still has his best years ahead," said City boss Manuel Pellegrini. 

"He is an excellent player, I am looking forward to working with him."

Delph will wear the number 18 jersey at Manchester City.
