Jordan Ayew - sold to Swansea

[aj2k77]

I would be happy to move on to other targets. It's been common knowledge Benteke wouldn't be here next season so I'm sure the club have a list of strikers targeted and won't be knee jerking any last minute signings.....

[eamonn]

We've apparently offered them roughly double what they paid for him last season and he had a promising but hardly spectacular season. Fuck 'em if they're trying to leach the Benteke funds from us.

that will be a common theme for all our negotiations. loathe to pay over the top, but doubt we have a choice, and we need some bodies in

Benteke was a gamble and that paid off, lets hope he will be the same.

[Dante Lavelli]

Aren't we getting a bit ahead of ourselves?  Has there been any solid confirmation that a bid has been made/accepted?

Just got home and my neighbour came down the drive tutting and taking sharp intakes of breath: he informs me that Gueye and Amavi are good buys but Ayew is "a dickhead and a waste of money".

It's amazing how knowledgeable people are about players they've either never heard of or have seen on FIFA

[The Man With A Stick]

How can Barry Hearn afford to turn down £12m, they're not exactly awash with cash are they.....

Theree a chance BE's neighbour has seen him at close quarters.

[Stirchley Villain]

Well at least we seem to be going for it for a change...

[silhillvilla]

Kind of be glad we miss out here based on the mixed feedback.

talkshite saying bid rejected

Or, conversely, there is this . IMO, the Talkshite ITK ( Lóriente mouthpiece ) is being fed BS to pass on to us, in order to get a few Euros more for his paymaster ...........Godzvilla!

Jordan Ayew's agent has confirmed that Aston Villa have made an offer for the Lorient striker, and says he is hopeful that the player will be allowed to travel to Birmingham tonight to discuss personal terms.

Earlier today it was reported that Villa had had a £12m bid accepted for the 23-year-old Ghana international.

Ayew's representative Mark McKay has now confirmed the bid and says that the deal to bring his client to England is progressing quickly.

"Villa have made an offer for Jordan Ayew to Alex Hayes vice-president of Lorient," McKay told the Birmingham Mail. Things are moving quickly. We are hoping Jordan will be allowed to travel from Lorient to Birmingham tonight to discuss personal terms.

"Tim Sherwood is an admirer of Jordan and feels he could be a big success in the Premier League."

Ayew scored 15 goals for Lorient last season playing in a variety of roles in attack, and would reinforce Villa's frontline following the sale of Christian Benteke to Liverpool.
