Jordan Ayew - sold to Swansea

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Who the fuck is Jordan Ayew? I used to know players - I need to play Champ Manager for many hours.

Yippee Gueye, Yippee Ayew....... You know the rest.

At last, a suggested chant that's got some promise!

Ayew seems more of an upgrade on Gabby than Benteke, capable of playing across the front three is great and hopefully has the potential to improve further. His goal scoring stats to date would indicate that he isnt really an option down the middle but Benteke's stats werent hectic either before he came to us if I recall correctly.

Still need to replace Benteke though, Gabby and Kozak are backup players at best for the central striker role.

See I don't think we need to replace Benteke. We just need to find new ways of scoring goals, which very much includes the midfield chipping with their fair share. We could do with another quality forward but that's not the same as replacing one player. We have potentially loads of creativity in the side. We need to set up to get the most out of those players.

Upgrade on Benteke,   Good luck with that

It's more like the Big Ron shake up for me, that day at Sheff Wed away with all the new players and a cracking 3-2 win. Optimism hey, forgot what that feels like

This! What a great day that was too!

I said exactly the same thing to a mate who text me earlier saying we should be replacing Benteke with a £20m striker. I'm glad we're going down this route. We'll hopefully be a better team for it. Relying on one player is not the way to do it.

Just had a gander at his obligetory youtube video and the one thing that stands out is that, like Benteke, he has that modern day technique of waiting for the keeper too move on penalties and then gently rolling it into the other corner, looks great when it works.

Wasn`t it just - at 2-0 down I tried to leave the ground but the police and stewards wouldnt let me out - Mrs VCTM said - "we can win this "

Yeh whatever !!! --

Humble pie is very tough to eat when served up by your missus

We must play post Benteke football.   We were a one man team and everybody had us worked out.   Hit the opposition from every position.   That must be our aim.

I thought I'd catch the news about Ayew on BBC Midlands Today.....you know, a fairly big deal at £9-10M. And.....not a single mention; obviously this is positive news for the club. Are they a clone of Radio WM?

Yes, it's the BBC.

Bit of an epic performance against Marseille last season. Worth a quick butchers
