villaglint Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Very impressed with him, I always thought Cleverly had an excellent work rate but he really looked like he was working his arse off. Gueye seems to glide around the pitch and looks to have very good acceleration over that first 5 yards which is a real advantage in that area of the pitch.

Khizzy Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 This guy is basically Fibian and Cleverley combined but better as well. High work rate, tends to keep possession well, good burst of pace, great ball control, solid and precise tackler. Needs to score goals, which seems to be the only thing lacking so far but he's not afraid to take a shot or two, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 He'll be playing in the hole. I used that phrase for the sole reason of this gif being posted. Hooray! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmark86 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I haven't seen any of the friendlies this summer, but I'm glad Gueye is performing well by the sound of it. promising ahead of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Out of all our signings this summer, I think Gueye is going to be the biggest success. His style of play seems suited to the Premier League and I think he'll adapt really quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post StefanAVFC Posted July 31, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2015 He's ridiculous. Energy and workrate, combined with passing ability and an eye for goal. Love him already. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Yeah I think he will suit the PL very well, absolute beast for Lille last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradd92 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) He's gonna be the star player imo. Amazing engine but also able to dribble and pick out a pass, he's really a upgraded Delph. Edited August 1, 2015 by Bradd92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Gets about the pitch so much that Captain Jack mistook others for him not once, but twice in the second half, even though he was on the bench! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Can't wait to see this guy in premier league games, the 8m is going to look like a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Bargain for what we paid. He was best player on the pitch first half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daweii Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Talk all you want about sloppy defending I do believe had he still been on the pitch we'd have won comfortably. Teams can't do anything if we're winning every battle in midfield so yes it's doom and gloom at the back but I still stand by a solid midfield reducing the need for an all-star defensive unit.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I'm gonna put this prediction out there again. Will make us forget about certain former members of our midfield very quickly. You're right. I barely remember Berson and McCann. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 He was brilliant today, ran the show in the first half. I think he's going to be a very important player for us and hopefully him, Westwood and Vertout all develop a good understanding between each other. I know it can seem like it's just sour grapes, and it's very early days indeed, but I actually think he could well be better than Delph and this is the first time I've actually been comfortable with our centre midfield options for a long time now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
