Idrissa Gueye - now gone

Hopefully if someone meets the release fee, someone else will bid more to get a bidding war started.

Won't happen. Both clubs would meet the release fee and no more. The bidding war becomes how much gold either can shove down the player's and agent's throats.

Everyone knows, it's a running joke on here because of comments about it when the clauses for Benteke and Delph were made public.

Thanks for clearing that up ;-)

Just wait until MON gets back into club football.

Id try and desperately hang on to Gueye, Ayew, Vertoute, Amavi. They've all had a year under their belt of english football now (except Amavi) in what was a horrendous season under 3 managers. Still reckon all 4 are more than decent players and we will do well to attract much better in the Championship..

New owner and manager have got to sell it to them.  They are all pretty young and hopefully if will be only one year of their careers outside the top flight.  After that they will be back in top flight football at a club hopefully going places.

Everton have met his release clause apparently.

[PaulWinch again]

No big loss. Looked promising initially and then was terrible thereafter.

There was that through ball he played against Man City in the cup, Oh wait...

[curiousorange]

His tackling is okay. His passing, on the other hand, is dreadful. I won't miss him.

[oswald funkletrumpet]

im worried if he leaves

that will mean we only have 5 midfielders who all do the same thing

[sirlordbaltimore]

He'd be one of the players i'd rather keep, but i'm not fussed. If we replace him

[peter w]

Shame but good. looked more like one of the individuals than a team member last season - not necessarily his fault - but I think we need to move him on, get some money and spend it where needed. I still think we need a lot of work done to the midfield before we are a functioning unit and the likes of Gana, maybe Veretout, Gil (gone), Sanchez, Sinclair etc are part of that midfield misfit.

Seems strange Xia bragged about how much money we were going to spend and yet he's operating a sell to buy policy......

Says who? Everton have met his release clause, we haven't been hawking him around.

No, what's happening is that the previous ownership put a non-profit making release clause in Gueye's contract and another club reached that valuation. He'd remain a Villa player were it not for that.
