Idrissa Gueye

Good of Van Gaal not to pick Schneiderlin for months and allow them to accumulate enough defeats that even his presence recently hasn't helped much.

 

Shame it happened just after I put money on them at 28/1 to win the title in the hope they'd go on a run and I could cash out a decent profit, with Leicester's results until today that tenner is probably worth about a quid. :facepalm:

Love the last bit about the scout maybe being there to watch Villa as we play them in 10 days.

 

Incidentally Gueye is second only to Kante in tackles won this season.

 

and cedric was top of the pops for tackles won for a defender. reality tells a bigger story there

A lot of people turned their nose up at Bertrand, because of his time at Villa.

 

I hate to think what the reaction would have been if we had signed Allbrighton in the summer, now look at him.

 

If we do sign him, and it's a big if because we may just of had the mad notion to send a scout to watch Villa before we play them in a couple of weeks, then perhaps it might be worth seeing how he plays for us before going into total meltdown.

Quite - he could be a different proposition outside of the toxic atmosphere of Villa. I do agree with some of the other posters that I'd like us to aim higher as a Wanyama replacement and that should cost £15m at least, but if Ron and Les think he could be returned to form with us, then I'd back them. Seems from AVFC forums that he's been one a very small minority of players actually trying and putting in some displays this season - imagine having to shine somewhere where 95% of your colleagues don't give a toss?

 

Also, if the club bring in a player from another league (e.g. like Clasie), you are often looking at a season of adjustment whereas this Gueye will have had a tough first PL season under his belt and Villa need to cut costs.

 

PS - Did anyone see in the Telegraph yesterday that Shelvey doesn't have a relegation wage cut clause at Newcastle and he'll still be on £80k a week up there?
