I got it. Gana (who isn't good enough for Everton to many) is wanted by a side with visions of winning the Champions League.

Let's sell him and pick up Aaron Mooy

That'll get us back to where we belong

It's not about how good gana is it's about the system we play and he quite simply doesn't fit it.

If we had a number 6 to protect the back four and let gana do his thing with out leaving holes all over midfield it's be great. We don't we play with two cm's and a acm and gana doesn't fit that style. As I said before he runs out of position and leaves holes in midfield. He is a top player but he dosent fit our system and he isn't good enough to build a system around him.

Also I hope the moody shouts are jokes.

Doesn't it make sense to replace lesser with better?
I think then he would probably be a lot better with better players around him.

If you knew anything about the game of football, you'd know that is far far more difficult to perform in a team of lesser players. You kind of just agreed with me that he's a good player.
 
He's been one of our best players since the minute he signed. It's of no surprise to me whatsoever that PSG are interested.

People consistently underrate players who do the dirty work in midfield - that's the reason Kante didn't run away with the Ballon d'or in recent years.

Yes, he has limited passing range and won't chip in with goals, but he's amazing at what he's tasked to do in midfield and, critically, the work he does allows others to be better in their roles.

In my opinion, a top midfielder is someone who can actually pass the ball. This is not something Gana can do. Kante, who I guess is the most comparable player to Gana, is far more accomplished on the ball and is far tidier than he's given credit for. It's not Gana's tackling I have a problem with, it's his distribution. The shout for Mooy is merely an expression of the current market: he's tried, tested, probably available on the cheap. He's not a sexy midfield maestro, but he's better than what we have.
 
What you mean that 5-1 against Burnley? Yeah we were shocking that game:coffee:
Is this joke?

Has he gone yet? No. Why? Because it is a load of media boloney. Silva said no contacts concerning him have been received from anyone. That must be difficult to believe for some who probably read the trash press and believe what is printed.

Really weird take on it. For me, the obvious fish out of water in our system is Sigurdsson. We have Gana, who breaks up play, with Andre Gomes, who when on form is our much needed deep lying playmaker of sorts, but we don't have the advanced playmaker who makes things tick in the final third, so everything breaks down.

In theory we do play with two CMs and an attacking mid, but the attacking mid isn't the playmaker we need. Saying Gana can't play as the deeper of two midfielders is a weird call for me because in that case the only other system would be to not have an attacking midfielder and instead have two CMs and a defensive midfielder in a 4-5-1 or 3-5-2.
 
That’s why we are mid table then, because if a limited footballer like him is your best player then you have no hope

You can't have a midfield solely consisting of flair players who will try Hollywood passes and not read danger/track back.

You seem to think a "limited footballer" is someone who isn't doing stepovers and spraying 40 yard passes.

Gana is far from limited in what he does. He does things that more creative midfielders could only dream of doing. It's a very rare ability he has and that's the reason the likes of PSG are having a look - because having one guy like that breaking things up gives your more creative players the freedom to push 10 yards further up the pitch with confidence.
