Dya reckon? I mean, other than work rate, do people genuinely think he is a top player? We've had some bad teams over the years, but even in those bad teams, including teams Gueye was in, we've had top players, and there's no shortage of midfielders in that mix. At the very least, I would say Dacourt was better than Gueye in almost every area, barring probably distance covered (i don't there will be any data to confirm or deny this as the stats driven data of today outweighs anything had even 20 years ago) and maybe discipline.
Just amazes me how many people go on about Gueye like he was some difference maker.
Each to their own i guess.
