jim Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 It's not our money, I don't get this crying over the fee. If the scouts and management team think he is worth the outlay, and it fits in within our budget (that they know more about than us btw) then that's good enough for me. Yes we finally have money lets waste it Who says we are wasting it, you? I'll take the judgment of the professionals thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryu.yokoi Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I remember the younger one being better and thought we were signing the older one. Definitely a pleasant surprise, I'd have thought he'd be at a European qualifying type Premier League club if he ever came over, hope we can get him. Andre has always looked the better player for me, although I haven't watched Jordan for around 18 months so have may have come on a lot in that time (I'm hoping so!) different players though. I think we need someone like andre (attacking midfielder who wants to boss the game) and a true 9, i think jordan plays more as a 7 (atleast for ghana playing off gyan) so isnt a cb replacement but should imply fewer opps for gil, sinclair, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khizzy Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 At least he's not Jordan Bowery.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I assume it's $12m, which is about £8m - maybe less. Seems like he could be worth it at that price. If it's him and Adebayor on loan though then I do hope we're planning a few other moves because that's £40m in and £8-10m out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YLN Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Sorry if already postedhttp://7500toholte.sbnation.com/aston-villa-transfer-news-rumors/2015/7/24/9031705/aston-villa-transfer-news-jordan-ayew-lorient?utm_campaign=7500_robert&utm_content=chorus&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter Do McKay and Sherwood have any history as he seems to have represented Amavi and Gueye too, he will certainly be dining out on us for a long while with his cut of these deals. Could it be that Sherwood is even more like Gregory than we thought.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentMajority Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Until/if the guy turns up and plays a full season.... how can someone quantify what he is worth? Passed experience in a different team in a different league? Until he is playing in our team, in this league, with Timmy's 'philosophy', I cant say he is worth x or y.... if by Christmas he has scored 10 goals and we are sitting pretty in the top half of the table, £12m seems like a bargain.... Either way, I am willing to take that chance (with someone elses money) at this stage. Exciting signing IMHO 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
