2018/19 Idrissa Gueye

[toffeejack]

Solanke isn't worth anywhere close to £19m though

the going rate has gone utterly crazy now, us selling gueye for just £20m would be an utter disaster, he'd cost more than that to replace so it'd be an idiotic sale.

 

[Sy-]

We’ve been utterly crap in midfield for ages and he’s a major part of the midfield.

Bye

Despite the fact he's number 2 in the tackling stats and our top player at 10th in interceptions, it's hard to argue with you about our midfield in general.

Much as I rate Sigurdsson in the right setup, I'd be more interested to see him out of the equation first because that "right setup" is not the one we have.

If Gana is to go and it's a not like-for-like replacement, it has to be for a Barkley-esq ball carrier.

 

[Saint Domingo]

He'll only be going if we have a replacement for him lined up.

Like we did with Lukaku Stones and Barkley?

Top notch holding mid who can distribute, Gomes to one side to drive forward, Toni Kroos lite type next to Gomes to switch play and dictate play. No more rubbish number 10s being pampered to the detriment of the whole team.

So 75 million minimum it is, then

Perhaps we can take Man U cast-off Pogba if they want rid

Getting rid of Barkley was addition by subtraction

It’s a tough one. We are quite abysmal with Gueye in the team but we are even worse without him. I’m all for a better ball playing midfielder coming in but unless the rest of the team suddenly learn how to pass and actually do something with the ball when they have it it’s a waste of time at the moment. It’s also a catch 22 situation as we lose possession all the time and Gueye seems to be the only sod capable of winning the ball back but then when he gets it he passes it back to the opposition and has to try and win it back. If the whole team suddenly learns how to pass properly we might get somewhere.

Arteta, Rooney (first time), Cahill to an extent.

Really quite bad at it.

it seems Gueye just creates a job for himself.

 

[DanEFC92]

Carsley aswell. Poo at it, I tell you.

 

[tsubaki]

We are asking 45M. Why on EARTH would we settle for 20M?

Rubbish. It was a completely different window back then. Bolasie went for 25 million and Xhaka for about 33m. No way we should sell him less than them

Just because Bolasie and Xhaka were overpriced then doesn't justify overvaluing Gueye now. Do people really think he is a £45 million pound player?

 

[everton1953]

Definitely not worth much more than we paid for him.

 

[Joey66]

Aged 29 if the money's right move him on and replace.....

 

[coollino]

Bet he is is chuffed. Nearly 35 and got a big move.
