could possibly be a useful squad member for specific games, but won't be a certain starter in any side that wants to ply good football

Can't believe what some are saying on here about gueye with all the other crap around him he's the last one to be singled out for selling. Sort out the other rubbish first before moving onto this fella. Not saying that he's a world beater but there's a lot more wrong with our squad than gueye.

Gueye has turned his position into a luxury position for us. He wont ever be a 50 million footballer, but hes a solid player, while we can upgrade his position, theres no point in doing that until we fill the holes in our squad.

He's not only one of our best players, he fits perfectly fine with Silva's system. He's no more limited than Capoue, who played a ton in his first year. Silva flat out said he'll play a 4-2-3-1 depending on his midfielders, which Gana is a perfect 6. He was outstanding today in a side that was so poorly organized in the back it's amazing they only gave up 2.
It's unreal how much stick guys that can actually play on this team gets.

I’d actually hate to play for us. Crappy fans who only get on our players backs, unreal what I read on here some days.

How's it unreal to read that some supporters have a different opinion to players than yourself? I disagree with a lot of what is said on here but I wouldn't call them crappy fans.

“The dream was to have Adidas clothes” – Everton star explains how he made it
When dreaming of making it as a footballer, many people would imagine the money, the houses, the adulation, the holidays on yachts costing more than a row of houses.
Not Idrissa Gueye.
The Everton star has been speaking to L’Equipe about his route into football and his aims as a child, and it’s interesting stuff. Gueye came through the Diambars academy in Senegal and, like many other players, has a nice story about his trial to get there.
“I was thirteen or fourteen years old. I participated in a series of trials and the last three days was spent in Dakar. I understood that those who were chosen had yellow and blue bibs. And as I was in red, I thought, ‘It’s dead.’ My luck? There was only one game left and two guys were fighting to be in the middle so I went right back. And Jimmy Adjovi-Boco, on the edge of the pitch, appreciated me. He called me to join the yellow and blue.”
That was just the start of a road which would eventually see Gueye become the first Diambars product to sign a professional contract in Europe, and then end up at Everton.
The dreams began after the trial, but Gueye explained to L’Equipe his aims were more simple than most: “I was so happy because I thought I was going to stop school (laughs). The dream was to have Adidas clothes, not necessarily to be a pro. We were not aware of what it was. Upon arrival, I was warned: ‘Everyone dresses the same, no mobile phone, no difference.’
“Because some were richer than others. One of us was even a talibé, a beggar. He had never set foot in school, he started here at fourteen and has a good job in France today.”
The youngsters were all together with similar aims, and it created a strangely competitive atmosphere: “There were four of us in a room, and in my room there were the youngest ones. We had rituals like weighing, sizes. Every week, it was the competition for the one who was growing the most, who was gaining the most weight. In the evening, you ate a lot and did not go to the bathroom.”
Eventually, Diambars convinced Lille to take Gueye, but there was money exchanged.
The deal was they would pay if the footballer succeeded, and of course he did, and naturally those early years have left a mark: “Diambars is a family. Everything that touches onetouches the other. I spent more time there than with my own family, five years without stopping, alone at that age. We talked about our dreams in the evening, we imagined lives when we had nothing. When I see this journey again… It’s beautiful.”
Senegal face Japan in the World Cup on Sunday evening, Everton’s Idrissa Gueye is expected to start. The kit will be Puma, Gueye’s boots? Adidas.
You think of where he started from, how he made it as the first product of that academy, and what he brings to Everton and Senegal.
And his modesty and level-headedness. Top lad

I would, the lack of actual support the side gets from the numbers who buy tickets is shocking, moans followed by abuse, no wonder Ross thought he was getting it when he wasn't, easy mistake to make
Watched him yesterday and thought he was abysmal. He was literally never in the right position. Constantly charging up field in defence and leaving a chasm between the lines. I'm not sure what he actually does tbh. For every ball he wins high up the pitch he leaves his team exposed to 3 counter attacks.

Obviously his coach wants him to press high,so it's for him to sort out who covers.If he isn't playing to team orders I'm sure he'll be dropped next game.

Exactly this, he's trying to mop up everyone elses mistakes and then getting the blame, Davies gave the ball away every other ball literally, he was mopping up his crap most of the time, if we lost him to say Utd then we would all be moaning, with a proper coach and a player alongside him he'll be OK
Koeman did this too and it’s a stupid tactic. Let him sit and do his job. He was up where the striker and 10 should be working which leaves holes behind especially if the person you have shielding the defense instead a cowardly Frenchman.
