Villan_of_oz Posted May 15, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted May 15, 2016 If he has a relegation release clause then we will be selling him for a loss whether we want to or not..... contract length doesn't mean anything with that clause.....

chappy Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 It's like Jordan Ayew FC has finished bottom of the league through no fault of Jordan Ayew. Head and shoulders our best player this season, it must be so frustrating playing with some of the others. There was a moment at 1-0 today where he broke down the left, beat his man and played a great ball across the box begging to be tapped home... nobody there. Summed up his contribution and the rest of them this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To think he barely had a look in during the first 10 games under Sherwood and KMac, even after he pretty much destroyed SHA in the cup when he came on. I wonder what he saw that made him think 'yeah, I don't fancy him'. It's unbelievable how badly Tim introduced the new signings to the side. Anyway I hope he stays, if not there will be plenty of interest from other clubs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Who'd have thunked that Timmy S wouldn't have a clue about football management, what with the vast experience he has in the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was poor first few games, he offered very little but of course as we frequently see it was just another foreign player struggling to adapt to how quickly we play football over here. Mad though he finally came alive v SHA in the cup.....and then was unused sub v Liverpool next game.Sherwood at his finest right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 18, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted May 18, 2016 Yeah, let's not re-write history. Ayew was absolutely rubbish in his first few games for us. He's turned out to be one of our best players, but not many of us woudl have guessed that after his firt few appearances. The SHA game was the first game where he looked good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Ayew came alive in the sha game and then think it was Swansea was next time we saw him show anything and if I remember he was man of the match that day for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 He did look garbage at the start. Almost like players sometimes take longer to settle or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 He was completely unfit at the start of the season along with Veretout, whatever training Sherwood was doing at the time the fitness was atrocious. Along with the tactical disaster in the Leicester game the team ran out of legs completely that day. Of course Leicester benefited greatly from the cycling sport science geniuses at Centro Mapei in Italy which helped have them so fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 18, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted May 18, 2016 There's been numerous accounts that pre-season under Sherwood was a joke. Not necessarily his fault apparently, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butterfingers Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 One of the very few to emerge with any credit last season. My only nagging doubt is how to play him in the Championship. I admit to not having watched anything from it but I have this vision of teams playing long to a target man. I don't think that's Ayew's game. How do teams set up in that division generally? Could we go with a more traditional 4-4-2? I'd really like to keep hold of him but my feeling is still that, that I won't lose any sleep over any departures this summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 The arse were scared of Ayew, he was very effective against them - he'll batter the majority of the championship defences let alone get hacked down 10 times a game in good areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meme Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 All Ayew needs to work on is his rather short-fused temper; he can get frustrated quite quickly and it's obvious it can sometimes affect his game. With a little more composure he could be a beast in the Championship. If he stays, he could score 15+ goals with relative ease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I hope to god we keep ayew I think he will be a beast at that level but I doubt it. Dowe need to sell now though?? I'm not so sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dn1982 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 We are in a position now to take the hit and pay the full wages. I'd promise all the players they'll get all their money if they stay and we come straight up. It may not work on all of them but it'd give them some thing to consider.

Popular Post mwj Posted June 29, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2016 Apparently claimed on Ghana TV today that he's not in a hurry to leave, despite being relegated. Good news if true. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
