Should Everton look to sell Fabian Delph over the next two transfer windows?Yes, not worth his wage
No, he can still improve

Since his arrival from Manchester City in the summer for £10 million (per BBC), the 30-year-old Englishman has made only 14 appearances in league and cup (per Transfermarkt).
With the latest injury worry coming as one of several already this term (per Liverpool Echo), supporters had had enough of the fragile middleman.

What do we think?
It does seem as though the 30-year-old is incredibly susceptible to an injury or two, as his track record over his career would also suggest (per Transfermarkt).
If Delph continues with his apparent injury problems and does not improve on his 6.65/10 average rating (per Whoscored), Ancelotti may have to keep his eyes peeled for a replacement.
