2024/25 Idrissa Gueye

[Dddddd]

He was their Transfer consultant, I’m pretty sure it wasn’t solely on him. Some of our fans are dead happy Moyes is in control of transfers. Go and look and the 300mil he wasted at West Ham.

People just don’t do much research do they? And stick with their views despite evidence from others who do

 

[Frosty1878]

Even if he does drop off he would still be an option off the bench next season. Think we get too caught up on age and yes father time catches up with us all but the sports science and recovery methods these days keep these athletes going longer than before no surprise we’re seeing the likes of Milner, Young, Vardy playing into their late 30s at the top level

If we let Gueye go out of a refusal to give him a second year, the board will find out quickly how our crowd can turn.

Trying to pinch some pennies in two years time at this rate is going to cost us tens of millions right now when we have to replace our best midfielder - on top of everything else.

It’s SO short sighted

 

[mahermi1]

Surely it depends on what sort of a contribution a 37year old can make as a starting midfielder for a year?

You have to input how much it would cost to replace him, Fred might be a bit younger but he'll cost a transfer fee and a high wage, will have no sell on value and is nowhere near as good, in my view.

I suppose the sticking point might be that Gueye fancies seeing out his career in France then?
And the length of contract/wages is just an excuse?

Maybe, I hope not if I'm honest, Hoping it's just the length of deal offered, he's getting on like, but his game isn't based on speed and if he's not as good during his second year, I'm sure he would be fine in a smaller role as back up.

Got a lingering feeling that we won't manage to convince him before Monday and then it'll be a free-for-all for his services. More so than it is already.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Be really poor if we don't tie him up. We start looking really light in CM without him..

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Got to get him signed
Hoping the delay is trivial

Come on Gana, anyone would think you played a few national games after the season ended and went on holiday. See you second week of preseason !

 

[Marius57]

2 years seems logical for all involved. He’s earned it and even with a slight decline the next 2 years will be able to contribute at a high level.

It’s logical considering how much he plays. Also his experience and importance to the overall squad. And the fact that him, Pickford and tarks are the spine of the team and first names on the team sheet.

We just gave Coleman a year and he plays about 20 mins a season. Gueye plays 100 times more.

Teams that want him won’t be waiting til Monday to speak to him

I know. That's why I said "more so than it is already"

 

[salmon fingers]

Player of the season in 24/25 so a 2 year contract on the back of that is not a huge stretch. What if he is player of the season for the next 2 years then its a absolute bargain, still nothing like the money we have wasted in the past.
