a rumour I've heard is that Gaston won't be leaving, Pochettino values him as a key member of the squad after getting him back in the starting 11 and wants to tie him down to an extended contract to fend off interest from the Italian sides. What does everybody think of this is if it turns out to be true?

He is showing signs of adjusting, just needs to get more used to simple football. It's all very well having great technical ability but you have to be able to find the easy ball sometimes as well. He could be a very valuable asset though.

Honestly think we should sell him if someone comes in with a 10 mil offer. Had 3 good games for us in total maybey? i'd sell him

If we needed to come up with 10m to sign a player we could as we have the finance to do so now, he's still young and has done ok in the last few games I think he has the potential to be one of our best players

The main problem with Gaston is that he is too light weight. He gets pushed off the ball too easily. Yes obvious technical ability, but not right for the Premier League. Sell!

He's had more than 3 good games, you just pick out the bad bits from his game and b*tch and whine about it until it's all you remember. He's been great in the last few games, and he's not even fully fit yet, we'll keep him and he'll be almost unplayable by the end of the season, sit and watch

^ Unplayable by the end of the year?!
I think that's a bit of a long shot for Gaston. Once he sorts his head and gels into the team a bit more, he will be good. This will probably take a while considering the only player he is seen around with is Gazza. He needs to sort his confidence.

He will be the uruguayan Kaka!

For periods during the Everton game he was unplayable, once he has his fitness and confidence he'll be fantastic

Icehorse Saint-are you talking about Gaston, or Coutinho?

I would like to see what Gaston can do when match fit, and with more confidence that would come from that. He could be a little bit special, and I don't see any reason to give up on him yet.

Don't sell Gaston please, hope he gets more chances, till he gets in the form he had at Bologna.

Can you explain what you mean by simple football the sort that gaston has got to get used too?

And as for him being 'unplayable ' at Goodison are you referring to the fact that he has been warming the bench for the last 6 months or that he ran Everton ragged with his running, brilliant passing, and movement off the ball!

Goal keeping error gave him his goal hair looked in good condition again though.

Simple football is just doing the basics, finding the simple pass, closing down players and allowing yourself to get physically involved. The aspects of the game not requiring heaps of technical ability. Being able to do clever tricks to beat players is all very well but in Gaston's case he does need to try it a bit less and use his team mates more as well as supporting his team mates more at the back (something he showed signs of doing in his recent appearances but he needs to track back more consistently in the matches).

So our big money buy who has been with us a year needs to be told to play simple football, pass to team mates, run back and tackle, and get involved.

So, thank god that shaw, ward prowse and chambers at 18 have received and understood the need to be a team player

Come on, Gaston is an international player who will play at some point in this years world cup. More time to do the simple things, more time to get used to the prem, luis suarez his international colleague seems to have settled in ok and did not need time.
