Idrissa Gueye - now gone

[PaulWinch again]

Got to say I've been a bit disappointed with Gana. I thought he started really well, but since then his level has declined a lot. Where Veretout and Ayew took a while to get settled and are now excelling, Gana seems to be doing the opposite. Do people think it might be down to confidence? He obviously has some talent, but isn't really showing it at the moment.

I think it is a confidence issue. Big dip in form but I think he has improved a little (as have the whole team) in the last 2 games, hopefully all on an upward curve now

I thought he played quite well against Newcastle, but he does have a tendency to run too long with ball, usually after he's made a good turn to get away from a player.

Iron out a few creases like that and we've got a good player, it's the third midfield slot we need to sort.

It's always the third midfield spot, the hard running and tackling man, it's plagued us for years. We've had at least one absolute duffer in there at any point of the last few seasons, and the only respite came when Sylla came and miraculously played out of skin, and Cleverley started finding form.

It is no wonder the players from France have taken a long time to settle in when their confidence was shaken by Sherwood's actions and comments. I wonder how much of a divide there has been in the club, particularly when you saw KMcD's team for the Spurs match.

[PaulWinch again]

I think my disappointment has been based on his impressive start, but I'm sure with the improvements we've seen under Remi he'll come into his own again soon.

Gueye today was fucking garbage, at fault for the last two let in today in the space of two minutes.

[myf]

Hasnt replaced delph im afraid

[brontebilly]

after a decent run of form in recent games, those two assists today could finish his confidence entirely at Villa

[aj2k77]

Handful of good games all season. Hasn't been decent value for money at all yet.

runs about a lot and eeerrr runs about a lot

Gueye today was fucking garbage, at fault for the last two let in today in the space of two minutes.

I thought he was one of our better players today until he played the ball back for their third.  His head completely went then and another mistake led to them getting their fourth almost straight after.

One down......

Idrissa Gueye will quit Aston Villa – agent
Speaking to a Senegalese press agency, midfielder Idrissa Gueye’s agent announced that his client will not be at Aston Villa next season.

“He will almost certainly be at another Premier League club, if not, then the Bundesliga.”

This announcement also seems to rule out a return to France for Gueye, who joined the Midlands club last summer.

Aston Villa were today officially relegated from the Premier League after a loss to Manchester United.

[LukeJames]

Good luck with that Idrissa.

[Toronto Villa]

The last thing we need is players next season who don't want to be at the club. We had enough of that this season. We are still Aston Villa and Championship or not there will be lots of players who WANT to play for us. If you want out get out. We must start in August with a squad of players who all want the same thing, one thing and that's promotion at the first attempt.

And take Bacuna, Westwood, Guzan, Richards and Lescott with you.
