2025/26 Idrissa Gana Gueye

Has to be pound for pound one of our best signings of the PL era.

At his specific role I don't think we've ever had a better player in the PL.

By that I'm specifically talking about his press, ball recoveries etc.

I think it's a pretty easy decision to trigger the extension even if we start phasing him out of the starting 11.
I wasn't convinced in the Lampard days. Seemed like too much of a change from playing with Messi to playing with Mykolenko.

But he's shown he's still got it, what a player he's been for us
 
To me he plays naff for a large part of the season early on especially then the last ten games is really good - perhaps cynically playing for a new contract offer in the last ten games of the season - no doubts about it the last 3 seasons he has played so well he really helped to stop us getting relegated as he was brilliant - if he stays he has to be used sparingly early on IMO .... he is 36 years old .....
 
How old is Messi Ronaldo Ledwoski(sp)
Age is but a number and he’s had no major injuries that I’m aware of

Still one of the first names on the team sheet for me. The incredible thing about him is that he's still getting round the pitch so well. Who knows how long he could go on for if he has to adapt his game at some point and become a sitting player.
 
My only problem with Gana is that if he's in the team, we are way too defensive. We don't want him as a true box to box. He's a great DM.

But with him in there, along with Garner, it forces us to play KDH in the 10. Ideally, if we want to truly become a team that challenges in and around the European places, we'd want Garner and KDH deeper, with 4 more attack-minded players in front of them
 
I thought he's been a lot better on the ball lately and was solid in the first half and despite displaying energy later in the game he became significantly less effective as we had no presence in midfield. There's been am over reliance on Gana since he's return at the expense of other younger players who have shown glimpses of potential. Moyes has to be willing to let other players start in midfield or sub in for Gana.
