Xela Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Rather have Hogan or Brady for £15m than Ayew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 At least he tries to do something. Without him, we look **** horrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has very good close control. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayew has a very decent technique tbh. Weird comment to make saying he's only athletic. Have you watched him?

Stevo985 Posted January 15, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted January 15, 2017 He's incredibly frustrating and wasteful. But compared to some of the other shite alternatives we have he's amazing. We missed him yesterday, and he's not even very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 While the media and Avram Grant maintain he did ok against Uganda it seems the fans are giving him a bit of stick. Quote Black Stars player, Jordan Ayew is facing the wrath of Ghanaians for what many say was an unimpressive performance during Ghana's encounter with Uganda at the 2017 African Cup of Nations, Tuesday. Although the Black Stars of Ghana won against The Cranes of Uganda by a goal to nil, some say Ghana could have bagged a few more goals if Jordan had converted the many chances he had into goals. Social media platforms buzzed with comments which mocked and hurled insults at the striker with some even suggesting he should be excluded from the winning bonus. click Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Apparently we are willing to let him go for 12m and that will fund a move for Rhodes according to the mail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFCON the buying club are waiting until either deadline day or he gets knocked out. No point paying wages for a player that's yours for a few weeks!!

FWIW, he also passes the ball more than any other forward player and is fouled more than everyone other than Grealish. As I say, at least he's doing something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Yeah, his all round game is very good. Only thing I'd say he's poor at is finishing. While he's listed as a striker, he's left mid for us. Adomah is also poor at finishing, so it's not uncommon for a wide man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom13 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Who's being linked with him? He should be racking up the goals and assists in The Championship, and if we were controlling games (with a powerful, creative midfield) he'd be much more likely to be doing so.

skarroki Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 The guy is head and shoulders above the rest of the players in our squad in terms of ability, athleticism and potential to improve. His only downsides are coachable, he's still got a decade of football ahead of him. Some of the people slagging him off on here seem to have either conveniently forgotten his style of play or have simply never actually watched him. Not all, but a large section of the criticism is completely unfounded. Would I sell for £12mil? Yes. Would Bruce and co? Most probably. But just because he's leaving and we're getting a good price for him, doesn't mean we have to make him out to be one of the worst strikers to ever put on the shirt for us. FWIW, I think his finishing is excellent, but he just doesn't produce the goods in matches. Which probably has more to do with confidence than ability. Watch the video of him, Gestede and Kodjia trying to replicate THAT Luc Nilis goal. First attempt, BAMM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So excellent on Fifa then I presume. I have watched him and haven't forgotten his style of play. Wasteful, greedy, frustrating, lacking awareness, intelligence and common sense. He may be one of our better players, near the top for dribbles, assists etc...but it isn't because he is a great player. He just stands out amongst the dross that do nothing. I hope we can improve the team and edge this guy out I really do. He will never be part of a successful side at this level or higher. He has far too many deficiencies to his game.
