I have serious reservations about going down the French route ala Newcastle. There were serious attitude problems at times

Like what?

The regular old stuff about cliques and "not understanding the club", IIRC. Not like we've gotten anywhere with our current crop anyway
So nothing more substantial than John Carver making excuses for being a shit manager? I don't think that a simpleton like him saying that these foreign types are wrong 'uns equates at all to "there were serious attitude problems at times"

I think from the positives and negatives of Newcastle as a team over the last few years then the likes of Remy, Cabaye, Ba and Sissoko are some of the very few good things that they've experienced.

I do think Newcastle had problems as they hardly had any domestic players to balance things out, whereas we do.  I think there might be a problem when players come to a club they view as a 'stepping stone' to a bigger club, really turn it on in the first season and the move doesn't happen.  I think that has happened with the likes of Tiote and Cisse at Newcastle.

40 goals in 200 games. He's had almost as many yellow cards. Not overly thrilling.

Yeah i'm not jumping up and down either.

Ayew, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better

Ayew, don't watch that, watch this.
This is the heavy, heavy monster sound.

Like it. Could catch on....

I can just see the Holte End breaking out the 'One Step Beyond' dance. I think it would look pretty impressive.

Ayew - Ghanian
Gueye - Senegalese
Amavi - yes, he's French.

The cliques complained of are Francophone rather than just French. However, like you say, Ayew is Ghanaian, so no worries about the language there.
Yes, I did get the tenor of it and wasn't being entirely serious. But I do appreciate your clarification  :D

So having looked on a few international forums, their fans are astonished that we have bought him for that much.

They bought him for 4m euro last year and by all accounts he has been shit. There isn't one positive comment from French fans.
