Idrissa Gueye

[Tony Hibbert's 3rd leg]

Would love for this to make a come back in a chant for our Gana Gueye

Love how he's proving everyone wrong

He's not proving 'everyone' wrong tho. He's started well and showed the no-nothing 'he only cost £7m so he must be [Poor language removed]' knee jerkers how clueless they really are.

So he is proving them wrong, then?

Er not 'everyone'. Believe it or not many fans were prepared to give the lad a chance and didn't write him off before he'd even kicked a ball.

I'm fairly sure @USABlue didn't think that, and I know I didn't. So it's a safe assumption that 'everyone' didn't literally mean 'everyone.' Just 'everyone' that doubted him.

I'm confused what you've taken issue with, that's all.

I'd never heard of him and I'm not particularly into stats, but Kante was my fave player last year and when this lads stats were only second to his, I sat up and took notice. He is a carbon copy and he will be a big fans favourite.

How did Villa only have a £7.2M buyout clause? They've definitely missed a trick there.

He's been fantastic so far, just what we needed. The days of a midfield enforcer are limited in the Premier League as it's less and less contact so they'd only be suspended half of the time, unless they're like that wee rat Lucas for them who gets away with it.

This lad is perfect for the position, nipping in and taking possession and closing down the opposition with great pressure on the ball. Thing I like most though is how he's always looking to move the ball forward, either by incisive passes or by a dribble himself. He's sat nicely in with Barry very well indeed.

Anyway, only four competitive games in midfield for us so we should swerve getting too excited until he's done it over a period of time.

 

[chicoazul]

But seriously I'd have him in our 84/85 team and no mistake.

It is a great feeling to expect that every time Stoke had the ball in midfield with a little space, Gana was going to be flying in from off the screen to break it up shortly.

Yes, this is what I love about him, too. He's got it in him to win possession and drive the team forward. I hesitate to make the comparison - especially this early - but it reminds me of what a player like Vieira would do.

 

[brownmola]

Has a little more guile, more passing ability to his game than what was expected. Always thought he'd be decent at intercepting passes, but the ability to maintain possession and pick the right passes are a bonus (as well as NEVER getting winded despite covering 75% of the pitch).

Love him.

Shows they havent got a club what they are doing, which I guess is why they ended up droping out of the top flight, one messed up club that.
