VillaChris Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 My new favourite player, magnificent second half even without the goal as he ran and ran and ran.If more of our side had his spirit and quality we'd be out of the bottom 3 imo. He wouldn't have trouble finding another prem club next season. A shame we didn't sign him when Benteke was here as he does so much good work outside the box.Today also showed he has to play as wide forward, central striker isn't his game and restricts him. He's also got the moody blues going on, don't think I've seen him crack a smile once yet. Not sure if that's his despair at our plight or just his general demeanor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 On 27/08/2015 at 19:53, useless said: It seemed like this signing didn't really seem to capture the fans imagination the way some of our other signings did like Veretout and Traore. I don't know if that was because we were being linked to the likes of Embolo and Martial and so Ayew seemed like a let down in comparison. I thought he was going to be like a cross between Eto'o and Dwight Yorke, he hasn't reached those heights yet but I'm sure he'll come good. In fact unless we sign a really big name before the window shuts I reckon he'll be widely regarded as the best striker at the club by the time the season has ended. Looks like I was right. Fortuneteller it probably means we'll lose him at the end of the season should we get relegated. But then again I might be right, again, with my prediction that we'll survive.

Popular Post samjp26 Posted December 19, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2015 He wants to win, he wants to do the badge proud, more than anybody else on the pitch it would seem. Him being the apparent leader of our dressing room makes a great deal of sense, fights for every ball. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got to give you credit for that, you absolutely did call it correctly, fair play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect credit I get a few things wrong too. But it's a good illustration to people feeling down about our position in the league and some of our players, of how things can change for the better.

Mantis Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Sherwood managed him atrociously. It's a shame because he's head and shoulders above almost all our other summer signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first good signs to me were the SHA cup game when he was excellent in the second half. He really got how much that game meant to the fans and played accordingly. Just shows you what a **** up not getting a decent centre forward was in the summer. If we had a Charlie Austin type who could goal poach around the 6 yard box with Ayew just off him I'd be confident about the second half of the season.

AshVilla Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I wish him well next season when he moves to another club Deserves to be playing in the premier league and is one of a rare few in our team that actually look like they give a shit and give 110% 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 At a wedding so not seen the game but brought him into my fantasy team today and he got the 3 bonus points [emoji173]️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 just seeing the goal again on sky, he was basically moving away from goal when he hit it. Some effort to wrap his foot around it, and it was hit with some pace 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted December 19, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 19, 2015 yeah the goal was not an easy thing to do, he got frustrated which perversely even thought he got booked was good to see as at least 1 of them gave a shit. I'd like to see him and more of our creative players together on the pitch at the same time but I understand why that's not going to happen until we have the defense sorted.

mikeyp102 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) Really good player, unfortunately can't see him being with us next if we go down. Such a great work ethic, good pace and has a fair amount of skill. Edited December 19, 2015 by mikeyp102 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 If only we had a striker with some movement (Kozak) who could get on the end of Ayew's crosses and plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 He would destroy the championship. Hope we keep him. I'm really happy for him. Took a long time to settle but works so hard for the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still covering for himself and Sherwood and begrudging Ayew showing why he deserved more chances under them.
