Evann Guessand (on loan at Crystal Palace)

He had a great shot on him, pace and a bit of trickery. Physically bullied too much, lost out on a lot of 50/50s and off the ball not much use.

Err yeah, good luck with that.

Comparing Guessand to Zaha and Eze was not on today's bingo card

Not even a YouTube player. I struggle to remember anything he did to excite me. I dread to think how much he's cost us in total for a little bit of fuck all.

I thought there was conviction in Diaby those few times he absolutely blasted the ball, accurately, into the net. I never understood the criticism he got. I have to check, but that season he was here must rank as one of our highest scoring of the modern era so not sure how you remember  attacks breaking down with him?

Particularly given how many Emery signings improve massively in their second season.

For a first season (in light of the first seasons of Youri, Onana, Maatsen etc) I thought it very decent.

Not "irreplaceable" decent, but no reason to sell unless we were making a good profit on him.

Diaby felt like a player ready to kick on after a promising but at times very frustrating first season. Mainly his ability to get the ball in incredible positions then give it away. His goals were good and when he was on it, he was very very good.

Diaby had 20 goals/assists in his first season I think, pretty impressive.
