Would tire badly in the second half, and was left out due to fatigue for a couple of games. Think he is a good player, but loses concentration in a way Kante doesn't. Does not track runners in the same way either.

he breaks up play nicely, that is it.

He breaks up play, gives the ball straight back to the opposition, he breaks up play, gives the ball straight back to the opposition, he breaks up etc, etc, etc.... I will not miss him.

Was he a slightly better Reo Coker?

A slightly better Salifou.  Rio Coker got a few goals.  Guye bothered more people in the crowd than any goalkeeper.

Won't miss him, always managed to win the ball, go on a run, get near the box and fall over/lose control

Coker had the odd run of form to be fair and never particularly went missing from a game. He was bobbins, but to some extent he did what it said on the tin.
Some games went by where I forgot Gana was even there.

Reo-Coker was more of a fighter and added more of a voice to the team. Gana ran around for a little bit then usually gave up around the 65 minute mark.

Reo-Coker was shit.

As for Westwood being a pointer, NRC was way worse than him for that.

Almost as bad as Zat Knight.

NRC over Westwood because he could also do a mean pre game huddle

NRC and Gana are pretty much the same for me, won the ball the a lot, but they had to as they gave it away so often in the first place. We may remember NRC as being a bit better, but for me that's because he had far better players around him and was here longer.

NRC was a leader, had more energy and was very good at pointing and talking but was otherwise mediocre. Gana was mediocre without being able to point, talk or last a full game. File under good riddance.

NRC also got better the longer he was out of the team.

Not gonna miss Gana, £7m could be well spent on an upgrade. Who that is I have no idea.
