Probably. Of no use if he can't leave his ego at the door. I noticed that! heard on radio all Ayew had to do was square a ball to McCormack and it may have been 2-0 today. Some reason i don't think Ayew would like McCormack to take the credit if he scores. Just feeling i get . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Ayew clearly thinks he's the dogs bollocks and too good for this league. Get rid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Ayew strikes me as the sort of bloke that would be ok with losing 3-1 as long as he scored the 1, very selfish bloke imo. How would you all value Ayew? I've seen some posts questioning the price and ability of guys like Hernandez, and the boy from Bristol, but at this point i would be happy with a straight swap for either of those guys (hyperthetically of course, I'm sure Bristol couldn't afford him). My main gripe with Ayew, apart from the selfish aspects, are that i just don't understand what he is. Whilst his appearances as a central striker have been very limited, he hasn't really impressed me when given the opportunity. He isn't a winger in the natural sense, he has ability of course he does, but as a member of a team? Not for me. Now I'll admit that i did sing his praises last year so i don't want to come across as hypocritical, or indeed reactionary after todays disappointment. I just think that in hindsight, in an absolute sea of sh#t last season, the simple fact that he tried probably blinded me to the fact that he simply isn't very good.

TrentVilla Posted August 27, 2016 Moderator Share Posted August 27, 2016 And to think some were worried we'd lose him this summer. I just don't see what people see in him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Sell. Offer him as a makeweight for Hernandez 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtysanchez Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I would absolutely sell him and get someone who is highly motivated and is willing to fight for the cause, Ayew doesn't give a Bollox, gonna be a busy few days in the transfer market for us!

useless Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Might be seeing a few examples of the availability heuristic, in this thread. Still one of better players, and would be foolish to sell him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As with all of the poor, waste of money signings Riley made last year. Ayew is the same as the rest of them. The attitude isn't there, the ability isn't there, and the results aren't there. Hopefully his agent can get him a move away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon we could get 4 or 5 million for him and if we can find someone to pay that sort of money we should bite their arm off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Trent - hope you are keeping well . Have been taking a back seat on forums recently but will be around more now. Ayew really infuriates me as a player , he is greedy and moody and his temperament is questionable at best .

AndyM3000 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 He seems to walk around sulking when the ball isn't in play or its miles away from him but his actual work rate when needed seems good to me. Last week v Derby I remember him making a number of tracking runs, winning the ball back etc. My issue is that he isn't passing the ball when he should and holds onto it for way too long, he has had a number of chances in games to put McCormack in and hasn't and it's very frustrating to watch. I don't know if I would get rid because he's up there with McCormack & Grealish in terms of actual ability, he drifts passed defenders and keeps the ball well. I feel our overall team performances would be better without him though and making McCormack the key player, I think they are too similar. It's almost like he's still in last season's mentality which for him seemed to be 'I could pass to one of my team mates, but I have a better chance of scoring by taking on 4 defenders' which was probably true but now he needs to become more of a team player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honest_bertie Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Didn't seem to bother to celebrate when Grelish scored, just started walking back whilst everyone else went to Jack. Moody and selfish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
