Idrissa Gueye - now gone

[adrenachrome]

Idrissa No! We shall not let you go! Let him go!
Idrissa Oh! We have to let to you go! Is is so?
Beeelzebebub had his agent shaft us with
A release clause

Statistics or no statistics in Gueye we are talking about a player who was an integral part of a team that finished rock bottom with 17 points.  Factor in if you like the appalling managers and the poisonous squad, the reality is that not a single member of the 2015/16 regulars did enough to make themselves indispensable.  Not even Ayew, Grealish or Amavi.  It is Woodhall's Theorem at work.  The less a player is seen to play, the higher his reputation in inverse proportion.

According to SKY Sports News we are holding out for more money.
If he moves he will be on £45k a week

He's also weak as piss for a defensive midfielder, gets muscled off the ball easily.

Now we will discover which club has the biggest war chest.

The other consideration about Gueye is the he is a defensive, holding midfield. Gardner and Tish look perfectly capable of that role.  What we need every bit as badly as we need a striker is a creative midfield player.  A player who can thread a killer pass and convert the endless cross field passes into forward momentum and a goal threat. On the whole I would have liked Gueye to stay but I don't think he will be irreplaceable by any means.

I love a bidding war for players with release clauses.

The only players I'd be genuinely sad to see go would be Amavi, Ayew and Grealish.

The rest I range between indifference to contempt.

Agree Lee, with a hankering after being able to see Traore run at Championship defenders.

definately

i think he would be a beast playing straight through the middle, similar to lukaku.

with ayew playing off him

every defence in the league would shit it

I wonder if Pep fancies a reunion - wasn't Adama at Barca when he was there?

Gregg Evans thinks there will be one.

Hope the claret and blues hold out for the highest bid.
