[in exile]

Thanks for clearing that one up

[Villa in Denmark]

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

A bidding war you say?

Gregg Evans thinks there will be one.

If ever on sentence could sum a know nothing idiot...

The only bidding war could be if another club offers better personal terms to Gueye and he's stalling to consider his options. I still don't believe anyone thinks a bidding war can occur when a release clause has been triggered.

Thanks for clearing that one up

Is it cleared up?

Unless somebody has seen his contract, who is to say which of the many variations is correct?

West Ham now in for the Big G

I smell a bidding war!

There will be a bidding war, but sadly over his wages.

[ASHTONVILLA]

Whoever takes him off the wage bill is welcome to him. The interest in him smacks of Reilly style moneyball stat buying, but the old adage about Lies,  dam lies and statistics holds true with Gana.

I don't care what the stats show he is not a very competent player at Premier League level, and if Everton or West Ham expect a player like Cante they are in for a disappointment.

Our biggest problem, for years, has been a lack of movement off the ball, so players have to hit hopeful passes, hold on to the ball for too long or turn and go backwards/sideways.  Gana was a victim of that as much as anything else.  His passing was nothing like as bad as some would have us believe, but when he tried to get us moving forward quickly he gave it away because he had no simple passes on.  I don't know if he will be great for Everton/west ham but I wouldn't be surprised if he looks like a much better player.

[Gregorys Boy]

Shame he is leaving, but think he knows that his level could be higher than the Championship.  We are getting decent money for him at least.  Just need to get the move done as a quickly as possible for me.

Rumbling on a bit innit?
