Evann Guessand (on loan at Crystal Palace)

[PeterWithesShin]

More likely he'll end up like Ivor Linton.

[Smirker]

I'm not writing him off until next season.

[PeterWithe]

He's deceptively paced, he's slower than he looks.

[eye digress]

Have not yet been impressed by Guessand, but I don’t think an off game like tonight (among off games from other players) means it’s fatal.

He had been improving and does have a bit of pedigree from Ligue 1 last season, among the league’s top forwards and player of the season at Nice.

Interestingly, he was considered a revelation last season after a long period where nobody really rated him, so I’m clinging on to the hope that it will come good!

[Goldenballs]

Or reverting to type?

[eye digress]

Oh man, don’t hex me!

[john2710]

I've seen absolutely nothing in him to date that says he's a player at this level & I think he knows it.

Looks like a temu version of diaby.  Would be sUprised if he gets more than 5 league goals this year.

His work rates good, and defensively  good.  But going forward  is god awful

So, the complete opposite of Diaby then?

[PeterWithesShin]

I'm more worried he's a Temu Heskey.

[Brend'Watkins]

I think his team mates think he’s shite too. We have more deserving players in the squad who should be getting a go. It happens with most clubs, purchase a player for a decent fee and they perform worse than what you already have.

Well not complete opposite as diaby did some good defensive  work for us. He use to stay back sometimes and run back when we had the high line use his pace to help us defend when we went up for corners late in the game.
.attacking wise yeah they are opposite  as diaby was actually good

Diaby? Poundland Rudy Gestede more like.

[PaulWinch again]

He needs to be much better.

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

He needs to be much better.

You expect too much for £30m!
