Idrissa Gueye

[Bluebonic]

I Dont understand people being 'underwhelmed'? Our last successful team was absoluely chock full of players everyone on here would be saying 'meh' about? Players like peter reid, andy gray, paul power were all supposedly finished! No-one had heard of paul bracewell or kevin sheedy (who was an RS reserve team player ffs!). The reason being that good managers know that good teams consists of workhorses as well as race horses! I can just imaging the howls of derision if we had signed Vardy from fleetwood town! Get a grip and see what the lad can do, the same applies to anyone we bring in!

Played in a gash team that had relegation form last year, McCarthy did too and his stats urinate all over McCarthy's. Would like to replace a few more Wigerton players before the month's up.

Stats matter. I recall people being unsure of the impact Dmitri Payet would have in the Premiership but, coming from Liege 1, he was amongst the top players in chances created across the top European leagues. Obviously, we know the impact he had.

Gueye only trailed Kante in statistics among holding midfielders from the top 5 leagues in Europe. And we've got him for a snip. This is a monumental signing that will prove to be very astute business.

First of many i hope, really not seen much of him before so i hope it works out for all parties, looks sound in blue aswell.

Should give him the nickname horizontal. Never see a more laid back player.

He's no James McCarthy is he?

For a start, he knows what he's doing when he's on the ball. He tackles cleanly. He kept fit all last season.

Good signing at half the price of Jimmy Mac.

Why does Aston villa official website say he had niggling injuries last season?

Maybe he did but nothing kept him out for long.
Probably the sort of injury that the likes of Louis Saha and Daniel Sturridge take months to recover from.

Just seen the photo of him signing.

It looks to me like Contract Dave has his writing hand under the desk.

I'm hoping it's in a bucket of ice keeping fresh for loads of action in the coming days.

Monumental is the new phenomenal

Delighted to get this one done at last. Worst case hes a solid squad player at a good price but have high hopes.
Hopefully gates are well and truly opened now...

A big part of our problems over the last two years has been an inability to move the ball forward accurately and quickly, his lad seems to be a pressing midfielder, he can win us the ball back but we need someone who can distribute it when we get it.
I have been unimpressed with this signing and the possible signing of Williams, they are players who can make it difficult for teams to beat us, I want players who can win us games.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Remember the fume when we signed John Stones from Barnsley?

 

[USABlue]

should be a decent player for us. not a bad price

 

[JimEFC]

Saw him a few times for Lille when he played there, solid player, cheap price and will work his socks off with lots to prove still.
Great signing.
Mourned for the fella when he moved to Villa but I'm glad he's going to continue onwards and upwards. Welcome to Everton, Idrissa.
