But he's not good enough to justify changing our whole team just for that. An ok player, but poor in our system (if you can call it a system). Could well perform better elsewhere but not worth the upheaval for us to accommodate him I have a hunch, that until we get a midfield, it will be difficult to appraise properly any of our players.......such is the malfunction of it.

Ayew - 15/16 30 appearances 7 goals 16/17 20 appearances 2 goals Gestede - 15/16 24 appearances 5 goals 16/17 13 appearances 4 goals (above all according to Wiki) I think both aren't good enough and neither justified their purchase price. I agree with your point though Ayew gets a free pass around here for some bizarre reason that I'm unaware of. He's cranky, greedy and sporadic.

PompeyVillan Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I wasn't a fan of him last season, he'll struggle to score too many in the PL, but he's not handful whatever league you're in. I'd have kept him, but like I mentioned earlier if selling him means we can sign someone like Lansbury, then that improves our squad overall, even if it weakens our attack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 And remember when Gabby, Benteke and Weimann pretended to be an exciting front three for the last few games of 12/13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Remeber when MON first took over and we went to the brand new Emirates stadium with Gabby, Angel and Moore as a front 3. That was pretty exciting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the right midfield signing would actually strengthen our attack even with Rudy leaving. This isn't a slight on Gestede as I like him, but I think the fact that McCormack and Kodjia have scored about 3/4 goals each from open play is more down to the midfield than it is them.

sidcow Posted March 11, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted March 11, 2017 Just watching a bit of. The Citeh Borough game and saw him leap for a pretty decent cross and loop a more or less unchallenged header over the bar, then get injured and limped off. Commentators saying he just can't get going at Borough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
