Supporters of Everton have aired that they are missing Idrissa Gana Gueye from the Toffees’ midfield.
Following the 1-1 draw with West Ham United, supporters of the Toffees aired that he would be better than any of the club’s current crop of midfielders (per The Gwladys Street), which had fans missing the Senegalese middleman.
I reckon you could stick Schneiderlin, Sigurdsson, Davies and Delph all in a midfield four against a solo Idrissa Gueye and our former Senegalese Prince would still win more battles and get through more work than the lot of them. Do anything to have the main man back.

Is Idrissa Gana Gueye better than any of the Toffees' current set of midfielders?Yes, he's miles better than any
No, close but not quite better

The 30-year-old middleman left Goodison Park after three seasons with the club during the summer (per Transfermarkt), after a bid around the region of the £30-million mark from Paris Saint-Germain (as per BBC).
During his time in Merseyside, Gueye featured in 108 games, during which he scored four and assisted five (per Transfermarkt) and Everton fans were not forgetting him in a hurry.
He is our best player ever

One fan even claimed that Gueye was the biggest loss since Romelu Lukaku, which just goes to show how highly they rated the African midfielder as Lukaku managed to score an incredible 87 goals and provided 29 assists.
Biggest loss since Lukaku

What do we think?
Due to Gueye’s replacement, Jean-Phillipe Gbamin, picking up an injury after just two games with the Toffees (as per Everton), the club has likely felt the loss of the Senegalese midfielder more harshly.
Judging from the responses on the 30-year-old from Everton fans, they would be happy to see the PSG man, who is valued at £27 million (as per Transfermarkt), back at Goodison Park in a heartbeat.
