I wonder if we expected to somehow cancel the Elliot deal? now we can't (or haven't) resulting in this having to be done as a result?

I really dont think he is that bad and we come across as a bit spoilt here.  The other thing is he puts a shift in
I think it's a bit of both.  He does put a shift in, but so far his attacking contributions have been woeful.
Putting a shift in is what is normally expected at work.

It's the bare minimum. Can't believe people act as though players are going above and beyond by doing it. They are paid an obscene amount and are living the dream. Of course they should put a shift in.

You've got to be desperate for positives when talking about a player if you've reached the point where "putting a shift in" is is meant to be some great achievement.

We've got another player who gets credit for this as well.

Nearly all players work incredibly hard. They wouldn’t be premier league players if they didn’t. Some go through poor spells/low confidence where they don’t seem as sharp or “at it”. If someone is deemed to work hard it’s normally because they go above and beyond the mean, not because they’re doing the bare minimum. Not saying I think Guessand is in that camp mind you. Good work rate is fine but no more than the average.

We always knew (if we'd paid attention) he wasn't the finished article and would need to be developed but I doubt anybody realised just how much work was required. Let's see how he does at Palace, maybe they won't have him stuck on the wing and use him more as a right sided 10 which was the position he was playing in France to stoke our initial interest.

Good luck to him. Come back world class.

Palace are pretty dumb if they're taking Guessand - but hey ho, I'll start the car.

It's a bit of a hit to our Handsome Lads' Club to lose him (and a mortal insult to the founding tenets of that august society that it happens when 'hard-working' Harvey is still here picking up wages).

Normally I trust you completely on matters such as this, but I don't really see it here.

Particularly with the return of Doug, the Club has clearly improved over the last couple of days, whatever happens with Guessand?

Can't see anyone wanting to get rid of McGinn anytime soon.
