Delphinho123 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 He's more useful than Veretout. One of the very few I'd look to keep next year. He isn't great but will be decent in that division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanO Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 He's probably about Championship level but I doubt his ego or bank balance will keep him at VP, not a loss though for me as all I see is a player who struggles to fit in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't great but will be decent in that division. Way more useful and way better for his position, he offers a hell of a lot more than Veretout. Gana has a high opinion of himself (remember his champions league comments?), so I don't expect him to stick around next season at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Way late on this, but good post from DRAGONZ_RULE, though I do think it's slightly disingenuous to compare the passing stats of Gana and Kante simply due to the style of football their respective teams play. As bad as we are and as blunt as we are going forward, Garde (and to a lesser extent Sherwood) tries to implement a more possession-based type of play, which inevitably lends itself to having a greater number of passes than one would ordinarily have. Furthermore Gana's completion rate in particular would tend to be higher by the nature of him playing as the deepest midfielder and thus attempting more inventive or risky passes with less frequency. Compare to that to Leicester, who as spectacularly well as they're playing aren't exact subtle in their approach. They're very much a buccaneering (tangent here but that is a satisfying adjective) counter attacking side that are all about getting from back to front as quickly as possible, and don't put as much emphasis on playing it through midfield. I'm not one that really pays much mind to stats or has them to hand but I believe their average possession proves this as they're something obscene like 19th in the league for it. I don't mind Gana though, as has already been covered I'd expect him to be one of the first out the door in the summer, but he's also someone I could see doing a job for a few teams in the league so you can't blame him really.

DRAGONZ_RULE Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) Thought Gana was one of the better performers for your lot (together with Cissokho and then Gestede off the bench) tonight. The team overall was dire once again. Broke up play quite well, made 8 tackles and 5 interceptions. Set up a couple of half-chances too. Really stupid yellow card in the first half, there was no reason to cynically bring Barkley(?) down with the ball 80m from Villa's goal! Edit: Forgot to include Cissokho.

DCJonah Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Looked decent at tackling and poor on the ball. At one point he made a great tackle and then kicked it out for a throw trying to make a simple pass. Also his usual shit shot that goes no where near.

ozvillafan Posted March 1, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 1, 2016 Best of a very poor midfield. He could do with a decent AM and box-to-box midfielder to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Hope we can keep him for next season. I think he will be an excellent player in the championship. He already seems decent now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His passing is pretty mediocre to bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you there, but I do wonder how he'd fare if he had players close to him so he didn't have to be the ball winner, the move starter and the holding midfielder. His passing really dies after 70 minutes because he's saving all his energy for tackling and chasing the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nabby Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Our best player at moment was everywhere Tuesday night made tackle after tackle we just have no one else in the midfield to support him. One who will leave and then look great elsewhere 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
