I can 100% understand why Monchi was moved on, an absolute shit show of a summer transfer window
Sancho, Eliott and Guessand is a shambles really.

There were some shocking windows when we were rubbish
But more recently, I think this is as bad as we’ve had

I still like Guessand, due to his attitude but I do understand the worry concerning his attacking abilities but I’m still hopeful that will come good.

Surely Unai gave the transfer his approval?

Watching him I can't really see any positives in his play. He does put the effort in, but he hasn't shown promise in any aspect of attacking play at all.

I find it hard to believe this is the real Guessand. There must be a reason he was signed.

I bumped into the one and only Denis Mortimer a while back in Lichfield and got chatting. He reckoned we didn’t need these three, should have just given younger players a go. I couldn’t see it at the time but at the moment it’s hard to disagree.

Personally I think you're all being very harsh.

As a rookie coming in on a freebie from Solihull Moors he's doing as well as he can. He's trying his best.

Oh we paid £30 mill for this bloke? From a professional league as well?  Yowsers.

Can’t doubt his effort. His decision making looks way off the pace. Hopefully he’ll come good.

Works hard but looks like a competition winner.

It sometimes takes players a while to settle into the rigors of the premier league
add to that a new country and different surroundings

so we should never be to quick to write players off
Having said all that sad to say I have written him off, sorry but he’s never going to be a prem quality starter imo

He’s nowhere near what we expected/needed. He’s playing out wide and can’t beat a man, and as Big Ron would say, he’s lightning slow too.

Watching the game tonight he seemed more suited to playing for Young Boys than us. Sounds harsh but the Swiss league seems more his level.

There’s still time to improve but he really needs to kick on in the second half of the season.

Not good enough. Hoping he will get to the level we need but can’t see it.

Yup, sure he's a nice guy, tries hard and buys flowers for his Gran and all that but, can we start looking for the receipt.
