So why not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty I'd say—with some massive goals involved too. How many games did Gana influence at all? None! Not even a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tismyk Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Different times and different teams, if Gana joins Everton next year we will probably be able to see who indeed is the better of the two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disappointed that it looks like we will lose him, but he's too good for the championship. An absolute steal for £7m. We over spent on him, £7m - £10m is about right based on today's market.

tonyh29 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 There was a touch of the Sánchez about him in that he often did something good only to give the opposition an assist with his next touch could have been trying to do too much due to not having any decent outlet alongside him but then moving to Everton is hardly going to give him world class options either a lot depends on if Koeman can get him it of the habit of sidewise and backwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a season ticket holder so I watched him every week (not saying that makes me opinion more valid though) and thought he ranged from on overly aggressive (as in dangerous) to sloppy and lacking awareness. The stat of him intercepting loads feels skewed - how is it worked out? Did it count every time he lost the ball and then tackled them back? That'd count for about half! Then it'd also take in to account the fact our midfield was constantly being attacked, is it pure numbers? The stats can say whatever you want but, in my opinion, he was a liability most of the time. He offered nothing going forward, was sloppy and seemed lost a lot of the time. I think midfielders especially can influence a game far more than most however bad you are as a team - an amazing striker in a rubbish team might get cut off but a midfielder should be taking a game by the scruff of the neck and I never saw Gana do that. He's better than Sanchez, he's better than Veretout perhaps. Doesn't mean he's good. I don't think he'll achieve anything in the Premier League, whichever team he's at. Not desperate for him to go like some but couldn't care less he may well be. This guy has it spot on with how Gana played last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno, I thought he was the best of a bad bunch. He's far too good for the Championship imo and if he has the choice to play at Villa next year or Everton I know where I'd go (if I weren't a Villa fan, like him). It's just football, I've gone past feeling sour when a player wants to leave, happens to everyone. Whilst our midfield was shocking last season, I saw more effort from him than anyone else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) Westwood, Gana, Sanchez all do the same role to all pretty much the same standard so I have no issue with a couple of them being moved on. Tshibola has come in and seems to favour the more defensive role also from what I have seen so far although I am hoping he will be more box to box. We haven’t had someone who can really stamp his authority on a game in years. Someone who can really dictate the play for us. Barry and Petrov were probably the last players who could do this. This type of player is desperately needed. I'd take Barry back in a heartbeat to do it for a couple of seasons. You need balance in midfield and we don’t have it at the moment so changes are certainly needed. The best balance in a midfield that I recall over the last 30 odd years was probably Taylor, Draper and Townsend. It had a bit of everything.

He worked hard and he certainly wasn't our worst player but he did nothing to make us better. I don't feel sour I want the likes of him gone from this team, I want to watch players who want to be here and help us not players who think they're too good for us and have done since the day they signed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
