Idrissa Gueye

[Tubey]

No

Its making a case for the lad, Nobody on here can give a honest opinion on him because we've hardly seen him

We have though - a full season. People watch football beyond Everton.

Gueye is a decent player, but Carvalho is vastly superior to him and would be the bigger statement of intent for the club. This is B-tier, Kenwright-esque business if we do it, and I was expect bigger and better things from Moshiri.

It's a weird feeling, as I'm sure that if we sign him he'll do well. But if this is the type of player we are looking at now, he'll be doing well in a side finishing around 8th.

I agree give the lad a chance if he's crap we'll sell him back to villa 7 mil in footy is nothing these days

 

[Tubey]

Great point

The follow on sentence explains it smartarse.

 

[Angel Delight]

Nope as 1. he is actually a position they need, and 2. he isn't going to cost 30m quid

Yeah right! We would be having an absolute field day with this.

"From Gotze to Gueye!"

This player is a moneyball type signing that the RS would make. Not good enough!

Is this guy the equivalent of Witsel or Carvalho?

Flawed logic though mate, we don't sign someone we may see as a squad player - until we sign the player we see as a starter, even if that means losing out on the squad player?

More Carvalho than Witsel, but yes basically.

Hence the disappointment.

Just like them except nowhere near as talented.

Question: If Gueye was signing for the RS, would we all be wetting our pants with laughter?

To be honest I'm wetting my pants with laughter at Everton signing him

 

[Bob Latchford]

Worrying gradual decline in quality targets.
This is a bit worrying.
Anyone else worried? Like...

Doesn't make sense to me that sorry.

So you watch Villa week in week out and have watched him at Lille to get a good idea of what he's about?

Form a group lad and get down to Walsh's house quick, Tell him he's got this one wrong

I dont understand, do you think we are signing this fella INSTEAD of Carvalho?

Thats why the toys are getting thrown about?

I think so yeah.

 

[bluestevon]

Say we want Carvalho, and we are signing this guy to back him up, we shouldnt sign him until we get Carvalho?

Note that Marseille have alos met his buy out, meaning we have probably acted to avoid losing him - if the reports are true
