Idrissa Gueye - now gone

[old man villa fan]

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

Who's fucking wheeled him out?

Still can't get over himself being a poor man's George Best and being responsible for Man City losing out on the 1st Division title in the early 70's.

[pauliewalnuts]

Marsh has some weird, long running hatred of Villa, mostly based on some of our fans being rude to his mom about forty years ago, or something like that.

He's a monumental twat, of absolutely no relevance or value.

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.

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

or the season before. or the season before that.

oh ok , of course this is my opinion. but I think the FA Cup final was a good example of Delph's inability to deal with the other teams midfield.

What im saying is he had no support or very little support from the other midfielders and when he got the ball he had most times two players on him and some times three, and not to the same degree as the final but I saw many games when he was the only one moving and vision to pick our team up. Of course he made mistakes but I also believes he has given more to the team than any other current villa player, so put him down but what villa player (current) has done more?

I suppose you could argue that once Benteke hit his stride he did and his goals kept us up?

[Gregorys Boy]

Good to have him aboard.  The midfield needs all the help it can get Good luck to him!

Sherwood defies me and suggests he is, as I like to call them, a number 8.

Says he runs and runs and runs, thinks he will benefit from having the shackles taken off and I would say, not a bad replacement for Cleverley, as he can cover Sanchez/Westwood as the holding player.

That's the only sort of player he likes it seems. I still think that Sanchez has a pretty big part to play in the side.  He did improve as last season went along and I think is a decent passer too, for the sake of balance I think he should still be in the team fairly reguarly.

[Matt Collins]

I wonder how Sherwood sees us playing next year. He made plenty of remarks about trying to find a way of playing that suits the players.

The gueye quotes suggest delph and gueye with a sitter behind them. That would rule out 4231 or 532 with a proper attacking midfielder.

Or maybe it means we sometimes won't play with a holder

[Des Little]

Has Gueye put his transfer request in yet?

[OCD]

Has Gueye put his transfer request in yet?

His agent is busy going through his contract looking for a release clause.

[Karl Bridges]

So I read the fee could actually have been €9m so about £6.5m in real money.

Or about £1.5m within a few weeks ;-)

Do we lose Gueye in the new year to the African Cup of Nations?

Do we lose Gueye in the new year to the African Cup of Nations?

No. Only takes place in odd numbered years. Next is 2017.
