2018/19 Idrissa Gueye

[Nyhus]

Selling one of our best players just for the sake of short term profit should be a thing of the past for Everton.

 

[Papa Shango]

Don’t mind the barrios shouts but I can’t see him being a straight fit in the team.

Also. If PSG offer £30m+ for gana we should sell. 100% even in jan.. But I can’t see them offering that amount... more likely to be £15-20m in the summer

I don't get this at all. 30M is nothing in 2019. You could probably get a Tom Cleverley for that.

He is one of our better players. 60M or get lost.

He’s not one of our better players at all. He’s technically one of the worst in the starting 11 every week.

If we were 4th and had a decent chance of top 4, then yes keep him, but realistically we ain’t challenging for a good few years. He will be p

I did watch a few YT vids and he just seems like a Schneiderlin type (probably better).

I really just think this midfield needs a big powerful player who can add more attacking prowess but offer some defensive solidity.

Ideally, that'd be with keeping Gana, binning off the rubbish. So our 3 CM options would be Gomes-Gana-new signing, and a combination (or all three) of them start.

Gomes - Ascacibar - Berge

 

[BlueToff]

Can you really see us winning the cup and let’s be honest it won’t be down to Gana if we do.
And is 7th such a big deal and who says we wouldn’t finish 7th with out him, I know one thing we won’t finish top 6 witt him this season. And Is silva really ripping up a system that I personally don’t think is his preferred system, like I’ve mentioned previously he wants a specialist number 6 which Gana isn’t.

I appreciate you think he’s a great, But surely you can see this as great dea for the club. Keeping him IF and it’s a big if a big offer comes in and worrying that we may finish 8th instead of 7th is short term thinking.

I want us to have a good go. I also want us to finish as high as possible.

It's not short term thinking. He's currently a crucial player to the way Silva wants to play. He may well be a crucial player going forward as well, for all we know (even though you know I agree that in an ideal world we'd have someone better on the ball coming in to complement Gana and Gomes).

Gomes - Ascacibar - Berge

No pace

I get that you don't rate him, but he clearly is one of our better players. That's why he plays 90 minutes literally every time he's able to, and has done under every manager he's played under. It's also why he's pretty much the only player in our squad who is - supposedly - in demand from an elite level club. You're obviously perfectly entitled to think we'd be better without him, or that the prices quoted make it a good deal, but suggesting that he's not one of our best players kind of ruins the credibility of what you're saying in my opinion.

 

[Nymzee]

No pace

All brute force.

 

[Paulie]

If we are relying on Gueye for vision (and we are, or were) then we are in trouble.

The bloke is everywhere. He offers a passing option no matter where the ball is on the pitch, if more of our team did that we would be flying.

He throws in the odd bad pass (everyone does) but he never hides and is always willing.

I mostly agree and ideally would like to sell other cap before Gana. Although I would ask why can't a DM have vision? Barry used to do some great forward passes and created chances and goals.

 

[hktoffee]

I don’t know and it’s not my job, I’m not a club scout or chairman or DOF. I don’t knows who’s available and who isn’t.

If we get good money I’m not bothered If we wait till the summer
But I would sell and play Beni for the rest of the season. And I’m. Not joking

Barrios is one that’s been linked, not seen him much apart from the World Cup, I know there will be people on here that will tell you they’ve watched him loads. Tim vickery who would have seen him more than any of us on here, rates him highly and by all accounts is more of a number 6 than gana and also is a leader on the pitch, according to Tim. He said Mori was very average and not good enough for the prem, he got that right so we will see

Also he’s 5yrs younger and we would make money on the 2 deals.

See if our dof and manager think he’s the best option to keep him.

Beni ar he doesn’t even sit on the bench once I don’t know what make you think he is better than Gana at this moment.

Barrios I have no idea.

 

[SteStocksDJ]

Ideally we sign barrios and Gomes permanently. And gueye stays til at least summer

 

[tim cahill]

He is one of our better players. 60M or get lost.

£30m is massive for a 29 year old DM. Kante was £32m when he went to Chelsea at the age of 25 and he’s far better than Gueye.

I’d take the money.

We replace Gueye with Beni' and you are risking us not finishing in the top half.

That serious.

On Gueye, I think he's off. I don't know why but I just can't see how he'll say no to it.

The player is irrelevant to me. Are we replacing him and what he brings to the team for 30M? Maybe, maybe not, you may get lucky and get a player for less or you may even pay more and the player ends up not as good.

Personally I would stick with something that we know works. If Silva wants to sell as he thinks he doesn't fit in with his style of play then that's another thing but selling him purely on his age (which isn't even that old) isn't something I would look at doing. I think he is our best/most important player though so...

Gueye creates chances and goals though. It is an utter myth that he doesn't. I would say he plays a part in most of our goals because again, he is involved all over the pitch. He easily sees more of the ball than anybody else so his poor passes are maybe a bit more noticeable (The more passes you make the higher the loose pass chances) For some reason we seem to have have been indoctrinated into thinking that he is just a tackler who does nothing else, McCarthy was similar when he was playing well actually.

Just because a player is not playing the final ball for the assist does not mean they are not playing a part in the goals we score. He is a massive part of everything we do.
