Idrissa Gueye - now gone

[Toronto Villa]

He had Gana on his kit in France too. Personal choice I suppose to use his middle name.

[pauliewalnuts]

Perhaps he's a massive homophobe?

It's spelt homophone. ;-)

If we can't him Marvin, I'm going for Joel.

[Singapore Villa]

He was excellent today.  I was very impressed.

Looked good on MOTD today, as well.

[Matt Collins]

MOTM in my view

MOTM in my view

Between him, Sanchez and Amavi for me, I'd have had Westwood in the mix as well but he needed to do better with his chance.

[Matt Collins]

I'm really happy with our central midfield options now and the blend worked well today. And once our creative players get up and running I'm very confident there too

Defensively less so but lescott will help. Also much happier with Guzan than most, save for with the ball at his feet

But I'd put us amongst the very worst in the league for centre forward options at the moment. Hopefully form will improve, but I don't think the current crop offer us what we need

[passitsideways]

Looks a class player - wins the ball, keeps possession, comfortable carrying the ball forward at speed. The only problem I have is that so far it seems like he's being asked to create stuff for us in the final third, which isn't his game.

[PaulWinch again]

He looks very good.

[Risso]

He's the pick of the summer signings so far, with Richards a close second.

Yes totally agree with above posts. Veretout has now got to step up and oust Westwood. A midfield trio of Gana, Sanchez and Veretout to take care of the business whilst Grealish and Sinclair rip apart defences to feed a goal scorer be it Gestede/Ayew/Kozak/??? Would be the ideal set up.

This.

Hope you're well, Aftab. A good summer? Tokyo has been scorchingly hot, but it's cooling down now. I'm off to Shanghai next month for a week and it will be there that I watch both the Baggies and Blues games.

[olaftab]

Hi Nik. You deserve some good football for all the sleepless nights you spend watching us. We could have met in Shanghai next week but I have been diverted to Bangalore. Flying out on 13/9 for up to a month so going to miss Albion again as I was in Seoul for both games last season.
