Jordan Ayew - sold to Swansea

[SoccerHQ]

He's pulling up his shorts much quicker for Franksy's liking now...

[peter w]

He's done well but not really well enough yet. And I'm saying this as someone who was a supporter of Ayew from the time of his signing. We do tend to see some moments of very high quality from Ayew but then he rarely follows it up. Very much like a Vassell type player and he does need quality support next to him. But in our current predicament, and with the West ham game in mind, he has to follow up Newcastle with a 90 minute performance like that at Newcastle. And I'm saying this as a fan of his, I'm not sure that there's many of us who think he will do it.

[PaulWinch again]

I think he's played pretty well over the last few weeks overall, so I'm fairly confident his level will be maintained.

[Clampy]

But is he as good as Rondon? Or Brown Ideye?

I've decided (it's taken me a while) that 'Franksey' doesn't really know a great deal about football. The majority of us on here would talk him under the table when it comes to the game itself.

I wish he'd have a word in Scott Sinclair's ear about getting into a decent position to receive the ball, then doing something with it other than bumbling it to any member of the opposition who is nearby. And you are allowed to close opposition players down rather than just having a bit of a rest after you lost the ball...again!

Ayew worked his socks off on Saturday and fully deserves the plaudits he's getting for his goal and performance.
More please Jordan!

Just seen the barcodes goal for the first time since the game and crikey it was well taken. For those saying he was young-gabby-esque when he came, that goal is irrefutable evidence to the contrary.

Not to mention he also scored a fine goal against Watford, not as good as the Newc one which will take some topping, but I don't think it got much mention because it was just a consolation goal.

[Nelly]

That's a bit special! The little fake he does to lose the man. I love it. More please!

Who runs across the keeper in front of Gestede? Is it Westwood?

[peter w]

I particularly like the Newcastle fan that misses the goal.

Yes, he's totally oblivious.

Yes, he's totally oblivious.

He still thinks tht they won 1-0.

Lescott.

[LeeB]

It's the angle he takes the shot on, he's facing back up the pitch, ridiculous.

He has the ability to do some clever, unpredictable things. When that's coupled with the kind of workrate he's displayed, in a shit side, you start to think this kid could be a real star.

I read something his old man said when he was young, something about both him and his brother being good, but Jordan did things that really made him sit up.
