Delph not being fit doesn't surprise in the slightest for a multitude of reasons. Let's be honest, he's not missed so it isn't a big deal either.

What level was he at when we signed him?
Mid table in Das SPL and a YouTube montage of him miscontroling the ball and vaguely running around.
I want the guy to succeed but he was a mystery package of potential when we signed him, I'm not pinning any hopes to him really.

My mates who have good solid footballing knowledge have absolutely no idea this guy exists, and assumed I was winding them up when I said he’s back after 2 years. Wish the best for the lad, will be incredible if he’s makes it here.
Cannot understand the negativity towards one of our own who has been unfortunate enough to get injured so badly and who has stuck at his rehabilitation to get himself into a position to play again. I believe the lad deserves every credit for what he has done quietly and without any fuss.
I have absolutely no idea if he can make a comeback and be a force in the game, I have absolutely no idea if he will be able to stand up to the rigours of the Premier League but I am hoping for the best for the lad and wish him every success.

Problem is we don't really have any real idea of what level that was.

In fairness he was only 22 when we signed him and he already had 11 caps for Ivory Coast at that stage. Plus he was a regular in the French U21 team before that, which is no mean feat for a central midfielder where they have been very strong for years.
He may not have been an established star when we bought him, but he was a player with good pedigree whose stock was rising. I'm not sure what to expect either, but that's more down to his injuries than his actual ability.

Agreed and I was as happy as anyone when we signed him but for me and 99% of people as a player he was and is a complete unknown.
I wish him all the best and if he doesn't make it with us I hope at least he has a long and enjoyable career.
A fat Scottish goalkeeper dived on my leg when I was in the Raf and gave me a tib/fib compound fracture and i was back playing full contact well within two years but the recovery was brutal. If he gets back to top level he's deserved every minute he gets.
It's only because our midfield options are so limited that people put pressure on his return.
He's skinned Sigurdsson there

This. How on earth there can be even a jot of negativity towards the lad is completely beyond me. Anyone not 100% behind him from the start needs to question their own humanity let alone their claim to be a supporter of this great football club. He will need a bit of time and extra encouragement if he is to succeed - we as fans have a role to play in that. Then if he has the quality, it will shine through. Let's at least play our part and then over to him for the rest....
Well said.

Not hard to run past those two.

If you can’t be made up for him being back you’re not human.
The mental health struggles he would have gone through to return would have been awful.
I can’t wait for him to return and hopefully he’s what we thought we was getting when we signed it would allow us to free up Allan to do what he’s good at

If Gbamin can come back at a decent level it will transform us next season. Having a decent physical option in midfield to take the strain off Allan and Doucoure will be huge. I just want to see an Everton midfield that can compete with opposition midfields for pace and power without us carrying two or three players who can barely run.

I'm not seeing any negativity towards him, just a bunch of people honestly admitting they've no idea if he's any good
