Jordan Ayew - sold to Swansea

[PeterWithesShin]

Fact!!

[achilles]

I don't think that anybody doubts that Ayew has ability but it is all about his demeanour!
To me he just doesn't look happy, never seems to actually enjoy playing (except perhaps in very, very short bursts).

We need players who actually want to be here and play for the jersey, if he doesn't just get rid, I certainly won't lose any sleep!

I bet Ashley Westwood wants to be here.

People who finish statements with 'end of' are annoying as shit.

Very annoying if you do it in your trousers whilst on the bus going to work.

It stinks, for a start. And that statement is one of the few worthy of being closed with an 'end of'.

It needs to be a tate mentioned we can all get behind, such as Villa wins are brilliant. End of. Or, blow jobs are ace. End of.

The last statement has grey areas, depending on which party you are. Or if it's Esther Rantzen offering.

Sounds like they're covered wherever he happens to be at the time.

That's one of the reasons I quite like him, being a bit stroppy and mardy arsed!

However your error there is thinking that equates to not caring....look at his performances last year for us over xmas-January when plenty had already given up.

Even this season for the majority of games I think his effort has been fine. My disappointed is how few goals he's scored. For someone who scored 7 in one of the worst ever top flight teams in memory he really should be capable of 15 goals at this level and he's way short of that.

As to his role in the team...I do think SB has a valid belief that him and Grealish in the same starting 11 is a bit unbalanced. I thought that when watching both at Preston so can understand why he rotates and tends to leave one out for the other.

Where I don't agree is leaving them both out for more workmanlike players. That was an error at Leeds where we created little.
