Idrissa Gueye - now gone

[Tony Erdington]

So Gueye, is a replacement for our midfield dynamo and captain, only because this is ASTON VILLA does that mean fuck all. Rmember that season we went up to Newcastle and our only recognised midfielder was Ireland (who was new to the club incidently) and them wankers shagged us, Sanchez is ok prone to too many mistakes and slow, Gardner totally unproven, I am the complete optimist,

This is de ja vue boys and them at the top are clueless.

Was it really £9mill or are the club happy to let us think we have spent this type of amount. Conspiracy theory alert!

What, like letting us think we are in a 'period of exclusivity' kind of way?
Probably.

Not that Delph was much use in a number of seriously embarrassing tonkings we received last season

I think this hat wearing hipster is an upgrade in Sanchez.

[Ron Manager]

So we could start the new season with a midfield of Gueye Delph Sanchez and Gil. Splendid!

Gil I doubt .

[mr underhill]

why not?  Someone's done a u turn on him and he's part of the squad. If he's just going to be picking up splinters we may as well have sold him

Gueye, Delph, Sanchez and Grealish is not the worst place to start from in July.

[Dante Lavelli]

I wouldn't be that surprised if Gil starts, primarily as a polite slap on the wrist to Grealish.

I think we'll likely see both of them in a fair few games, behind Benteke/new striker or Kozak and in front of the 3 above.  I think that's a decent side if you get them tucking in 10-15 yards as both are able to go in or out, then in defence you push them out to the fullbacks and keep your 3 in the middle.  It's what Lambert was trying to do with Gabby and Weimann but because he decided counter-attack was the way to win and let other teams dominate possession we never had the players in position.  On top of that neither of them had the mindset or technique to really work in those roles.

I see Rodney Marsh has come out and said a few things reinforcing the widely held belief that he is a massive penis.
