Idrissa Gueye - now gone

[silhillvilla]

I fear another restless summer of underwhelment.

Which you're expressing in a thread in which we're about to pay more for a player than we have for about five years?

I didn't realise we were paying £9.5m for him. That's a good sign hopefully and not just any possible money we are getting for Delph.

The fee has been quoted near enough everywhere. Lovely bit of backtracking though.

The first step to recovery is realizing and accepting you have a problem. I've fixed for free your previous post to help you on this journey. Good luck

He's good but I prefer his brother Marvin

I heard about this earlier through the grapevine.

i was wondering how you knew it

I bet you were.

Makoun was a tidy player, but it was clear he looked like little boy lost in the premier league. He may have faired better by having a box to box dominant midfielder next to him, a Viera or even an Ian Taylor in his pomp. Berson similar although to a lesser extent.

He didn't look very intimidated away at United. Just that he got injured and then we botched everything with firstly the loan and then allegedly forgetting to renew his work permit or some nonsense like that.

Which United?

It was a surprise that we didn't give him more opportunities than we did. A bit like Carlos Gil thus far.

And the pic of him from the Guardian article...

Away at Old Trafford. We were outplayed as usual but pulled it back to 2-1 at one stage, and I remember Makoun looking very assured with his passing. Of course, he was more up and down in the other games he played right after signing with us, and I agree that he probably was best-suited playing next to a more physical player, but he definitely had the right qualities. I think if we had gotten it right, he might have matched Barry as a Villa player - probably not as good defensively, but a better passer.

Hopefully, he cuts this out of his game

Bollocks, Chelsea come in at the last minute.

They have plans to make him blue.

Just seen him arriving at Birmingham Airport. Wearing a most delightful titfer! Looks in good condition. Got his agent in tow.

[Dave]

23 caps for Senegal in four years.

Does he have a French passport or might there be issues with a work permit?

I think I did that in my last ever competitive game. Hung up my boots straight after full time.

Ooh! He'll be passing me here in a minute.
