Confirmed Signing Idrissa Gueye

The tweet says, 'pay', not 'buy', so who knows?

Fernandinho best DM in the league and was 35. Gueye has still been doing well for PSG when he has played. Also still dominating midfield in the champions league. I think he will give us time while we look for someone younger and bed in Onana

agree mate

Obviously

and mine he’s needed

The Senegalese said goodbye to his teammates and staff this afternoon at Camp des Loges. Even if Arsenal and Chelsea arrived in the market, Gueye had given his word to Everton and wanted to keep it

Why on earth would Chelsea want him when they've got Kante. That's like swapping Makalele for Lee Carsley [ no disrespect]

Welcome back Idrissa. We certainly need you back.

 

[bernie inn]

Would they still owe us money for the original transfer?

Until @Tofeenut confirms, it ain’t done.

Always injured, perfect back up

Kante has been struggling with injuries.

Tuchel knows Gueye well, Chelsea are hoping to play 15-20 more matches than Everton this season and it is better to either sell or loan out Gallagher than continuing to play him out of position.

Gueye in is a short term squad player for Chelsea makes more sense than Everton signing him.

Welcome back Sweet Prince.
Make him captain

Why the hell are we waiting until Friday for a medical, if that was true.

 

[Matelot]

It’s all about survival for a while. If his output is vital to our longevity in the PL, then £8m is an absolute bargain when you factor in prize money/etc.

 

[ah11984]

That would be quite the fee for a player his age… a player whose main qualities are covering ground, stamina, getting around the pitch.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Waiting to see what other reports say but waiting this long then paying so much for a 32 year old who is surplus to requirements, while our forward options are still absolutely desperate, would be a bit of a joke.

Dunno, the window shuts on Thursday so that’s certainly a unique approach even by Ev standards.
