sexbelowsound Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 No, but i'm sure many heard of him and had seen him play before he joined Villa. Believe it or not him and his brother were both highly rated coming through the Marseille academy and just because people don't sit and watch Lorient or Ghana week in, week out doesn't mean they don't have some awareness of what he is about.

West Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) I think a goal could change it all for young Ayew. At the moment he can't control a football or do anything right but I think that is more to do with him being unsettled in his surroundings than a reflection of his actual ability. Let's hope he gets a goal soon then we can judge his true ability. Edited September 20, 2015 by West Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supervillan78 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 He reminds me a lot of Julian Joachim but may be slightly worse? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eames Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Feel for the kid. He's not only had to adapt to a new country/language/league he's had to do it in the shadow of his brother, playing better football in a better team who has hit the ground running. To write him off now is not only damaging for him its criminally unsupportive. He might still turn out to be shit, but deserves a season to prove himself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbauer24 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 He reminds me a lot of Julian Joachim but may be slightly worse?I could be mean and say Julian Joachim now would still offer more!! But actually I just wanted to go completely Off Topic and just say wasn't Julian Joachim the most underrated striker we ever had?! He was quietly brilliant and yet few would even recognise a picture of him today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's give him absolutely every chance to be a success. Whether he turns out to be or not, let's support him to the last, because it benefits everyone if he can turn it around.As for the Joachim comparison. If Ayew can get anything like 45 goals in his Villa career then I'll be very happy with that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post terrytini Posted September 22, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted September 22, 2015 I hope those who had already decided he was crap have a little think about the beauty of patience. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I wonder what he and us could have achieved this season if he'd been picked instead of Gabby. It's not his fault he got put on in the wrong place at the wrong time against Leicester. This has been seriously promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
