• If we had a tactically astute manager, Gana might have been useful as a \'closer\' - to protect a lead or protect a point. He will turn 37 shortly, but that is still not an old age by today\'s standards. To give a perspective, AC Milan have offered a 1 year deal to Luca Modric who turns 41 (yes, that\'s right, Forty One!) in September....
  Ajay Gopal in No new contract for Idrissa Gana Gueye as Everton confirm his exit
• A good player at his peak but not physical enough to dominate stronger and younger opponents and never much use in attack. No way could we compete with the wages on offer in Saudi so thanks to a loyal servant and lets hope he is replaced by someone who can add something else to the team....

• it\'s easy to see the logic of letting him go with him being as old as he is. but this is the removal of a significant piece in our team, which I think is currently as weak as it\'s ever been. Our only new signing so far is going to be vying for a place with the only player to get in the team from last year\'s crop. Meanwhile the mediocre team we\'ve been putting out there for the last five years all get a year older....
