Evann Guessand

[PeterWithesShin]

Sadly he just doesn't look like a 30m PL player. Apart from his effort there's not even much in the way of glimpses of something to give hope to. He looks more like he should a Tonev type signing, a cheap fee and wages punt that's great if it works and is no big deal if it doesn't.

I thought he was lazy and uncommitted at times today. Good header but everything else he did was poor. Yes, he helps out a bit defensively but was easily beaten several times by defenders who wanted it more. Hope he comes good but not seen anything from him yet to convince me he will.

Someone I know works for Wolves & he asked me about him. Wolves looked at him but decided he wasn't worth the asking price.

Possibly the least suited player I've seen at this level since Helenius. If Besiktas want him, they can have him.

It must have been a very good night out for whoever agreed to pay the fee.

[Skipper_The_Eyechild]

Unlucky with the header, good run but pathetic effort for the chance he had just before with the ball at his feet, pound for pound one of our worst signings.

I don't think I've ever seen him strike the ball cleanly, unless he's trying to cross it, then it goes out for a throw on the other side.

That's the thing, his technique is really incredibly poor. I also don't recall him hitting a shot and thinking 'well hit, unlucky son'.

He’s the cherry on the Monchi summer transfer window cake. At a time when we are counting every single transfer penny, his purchase is staggering in it’s absurdity. A disaster.

Yep.
Are we to believe that he was signed without Emery knowing about it though?

If Besiktas really want him just swap him for Tammy. At least we get something useful out of the whole thing, and his wages gone. Go and get an actual winger that can beat a man and fucking run. We must have set out to sign the slowest set of players in history last summer. Sancho can’t sprint and Guessand couldn’t beat Gareth Barry at 35 in a foot race. Then we sell Malen. This week has been bloody weird. Get rid, ASAP.

(Or retrain him as a reserve right back, he looks capable of that)

[dorsetvillian]

He looks awful, but he never played on the right in a France. Always a forward or inside forward. I thought Unai might try him down the middle today on the second half and move Ollie wider on the left, just to change the shape. Particularly with no options on the bench.

He tends to drift into central positions anyway. It was noticeable, when we did manage to get in their box, that he was in there.
Probably because he is able to amble and lumber into the box without having to actually run or beat a player.

[LeonW]

He is definitely not a wide right attacker/right winger.

That's the same position that Malen plays but he fell through the cracks position too so why did we repeat the same mistake?

[ChicagoLion]

Replacing Mcginn with him was a very poor decision.
League 1 level at best.

You could feel the collective groans when he started getting prepared. I’ve heard that we’ve refused to include him in the Tammy negotiations.

This window does feel like a pivotal moment for us.

Yep, think I would take that deal to be honest.  That would sort the striker situation and we could then look at bringing a wide player in.
