OLDVILLAIN Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I have been saying this since last season...ayew just does not have the goal poachers/strikers instinct..and apart from that his body language is terrible,apparently his attitiude as well. Selfish prima donna we do not need..we need to offload him fast as he is cancer to the team as was shown today when he walked away from jacks goal with a face on him like a bag of hammers.

Strangeways Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Every time he starts he knows its his chance to show the world hes worth buying, Hes playing for himself not for the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 (edited) I have got no issues with a greedy player as long as if he delivers and struts around the pitch like he's just banged the prom queen. Ayew is doing neither atm Edited August 27, 2016 by AshVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted August 27, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 27, 2016 Noticed he had almost no reaction to Jack's goal. Bearing in mind it was a young player scoring a quite excellent goal I would have expected at least something. He's not happy not interested and not doing anything and preventing others from in fact doing something. He flatters to deceive and I can't understand how people don't see this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 To be fair to him thats how he looks even when he scores. I think previously people have been too quick to label him based solely on his facial expression and not what he has being doing on the pitch. Just because he seems to permanently have a face like a slapped arse, does not mean he's lazy, or is not a team player or has a bad attitude. Up until today he's been one of the better players. From the games i've seen he was excellent against Derby in terms of tracking back, tackling etc (i.e. teamwork), against Rotherham he had a hand in the first two goals, and setup Gestede for a tap in (that was missed) after a brilliant solo run. Scored against Luton through sheer effort. However, today it sounds like he was in full selfish mode, which can be fine, but only if you score. Ultimately he only has 1 goal in 6 games, so he needs to start getting on the score sheet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I wouldn't have a go at his personal attitude but he needs to be more clinical at goal and make the correct decision. Today was a bad mistake by him, it really should have been 2-0. I would not be surprised if he left on transfer deadline to some lovely premier league club for 10 mil+ deal.

Brumstopdogs Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Big doubts about his attitude and how much he fits into a team environment. Still has a lot to prove and wouldn't be gutted if he left as long as we replaced him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 One gets the feeling that he seems almost pissed off that we bought in McCormack to be our main guy up top instead of Ayew. But that's silly, footballers are all mature paragons of well-rounded sensible folk aren't they. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Don't think he's too interested in a year in the championship. Certainly doesnt look too interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly doesnt look too interested. I think that's his default expression mate. I can see a montage of him now, on a roller coaster, shagging the missus, the birth of his first child, all with the same facial expression. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 (edited) Yup, now playing with a sense of "entitlement". Feels he is doing us a favour and nuts have imaginarily swollen. Good player no doubt, however in this state he is doing us more harm than good. For all who hate Gabby more, talk about playing for the "money" etc, at least I am certain about who would play for ASTON VILLA for the money MORE. As moronic as this sounds.

Zatman Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 few pages back he was described as best player in the league he is a an overrsted player on here and really offers nothing to our team. any team comes in for him I would sell straight away as he seems a poisonous attitude as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I disagree with most on here and think that Ayew is going to play a huge part this season. Yesterday if he just puts mcormack in we would be 2 up and out of sight. He will think twice next time because mcormack will have made his point and it is this sort of moment where a team gels, when they learn from each other. I am not of the opinion that Ayew is selfish and will not adapt to make the team stronger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why was it not different yesterday when he did very similar before this season? He's selfish, and he's crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Maybe it is because Gabby is out of the picture that everyone has seized on Ayew as the new scape goat, but yesterday's game was lost for us by Gollini, same for previous games. And Ayew had chances but he was well within his rights to take them on, and I believe he put created a few chances too. Not selfish. Not to blame for the dropped points.

He has been doing the same all season and McCormack seems to be getting increasingly frustrated with him. It doesn't help that when he does actually look up he seems to be incapable of making a decent pass/cross. For me it's his attitude that is most disappointing. I find it difficult to support a player who clearly thinks he's better than he is when he offers as little as he does. Even Bacuna got another assist from right wing yesterday and for me he offers more than Ayew. With a new right winger and a striker I don't see where he fits in and if he does get dropped to the bench I can't see him scrapping for a place in the side.
