skarroki Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Confirmed to be leaving once he's returned from AFCON? Or will we hear news sooner than that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the transfers thread, somebody said that the Twitter guy who gets most stuff right said that the deal was effectively done for him to leave.

weedman Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I don't understand the idea of a "pre AFCON" medical, I mean how many games and training sessions has he played since that medical? What if he ruptures his ACL in training out there but doesn't make it public? Will he still be able to sign for anyone because he's already done the medical? Can't imagine many clubs taking that risk, there's a reason medicals are the absolute last thing that happens in a transfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREAT_BEARD_OF_ZEUS Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Shame if he is leaving. Was hoping in my heart of hearts he'd come back from the AFCON, see our new signings and give it another 6 months, but alas it seems not. Mind you, he's been a bit **** in the tournament by all accounts, so chances are he'd come back even more grumpty and ****ed off than normal. Probably best shot of him if we get good money.

VILLAMARV Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Hardly tearing it up in the AFCON tournament. Although Gyan got injured so maybe he'll be back in the stating line up. He's been the whipping boy for the Ghana fans it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine many clubs taking that risk, there's a reason medicals are the absolute last thing that happens in a transfer Nah, medicals don't really work like that. They look at bone structure, joints, spine alignment etc, for long term issues. Not so much muscle. They'll know if he's torn his ACL when he arrives in a wheelchair! The ITK medical guy has been absolutely spot on with everything so far. He's legit I assure you. So if he says Ayew had a medical, he had a medical. Along with Tony's tweet that there will be outgoings (and there should be), I think we might not see him again. Edit - They obviously do look for muscle problems, but if we were to agree a deal while he's away it's easy enough to fly somebody out to give him a quick check up, rather than a full on 3/4 hour medical with all the relevant gear.

dounavilla Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I feel like I should be gutted to see him go but actually I'm really not. Flatters to deceive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Been a massive disappointment at this level. I thought it was a real coup for us when he stayed but he just hasn't been as good as I thought he'd be this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 To be fair I have seen him get destroyed by his National team fans at times. If he is going that would signal Barrow coming I assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Has some talent, but his decision making is awful, and his attitude hasn't been great this term. It's also not clear what his best position is - maybe right wing in a 433, but I prefer Adomah there. I still think he's one of our better players, so I hope we're signing a decent replacement if he is going, but I won't lose sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You pay 12m then he breaks his leg and out for a year before you kicked a ball! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I'd start him up front with Kodjia in a 4-4-2 given our options right now and I don't like him as a player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would probably just to get the formalities out of the way to speed up things when he gets back. (If true at all) We signed Downing with a broken leg!
