Jordan Ayew - sold to Swansea

[Legion]

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".

How do you say that in French ?

Ayew est un connard et un gaspillage d'argent.

Ayew, Ayew it's up The Holte we go, Ayew, Ayew, it's up the Holte we go...

Bloke. Talk Sport. Gospel!

I started the thread, I'm grasping at straws!

kin ell,

the king is dead, long live the king, er well who is this guy

[Ron Manager]

Jordan Ayew would be the type of player who Barry Fry would have signed a few years ago. Some talent, a little bit of a problem off the pitch,
and moved on at a loss as quietly as possible within a year. If Arry had still been at QPR he would also have taken a chance. I don't want him at Villa Park but Sherwood thinks he may have something. As usual,we shall see.

[PGW]

At the end of the day it's up to the manager and staff to manage him. If he signs give him a chance......give him the luuuuuvvvv. Remember John Carew he was supposed
to be a problem child.

[Lsvilla]

I think we knew this ride might not be dull. I say bring it on - if he can score goals and contribute so that we aren't scraping around the bottom for another season then I say bring it on big time
Sherwood said the club needed shaking up and he wasn't wrong so why knock it

[footyskillz]

I remember him in world cup 2014 vs states looking lively but raw.

[Bad English]

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

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

Ha! He's in his late thirties and may well play FIFA on his PS3. He is a subscriber to Canal+ and watches lots of football. Ligue 1 football.

So he's a French version of many on here.

Here we go.....

Aston Villa:

Last night, RMC journalist Mohamed Bouhafsi reported Aston Villa had made a £7m offer for FC Lorient's Jordan Ayew, new Swansea signing André's brother.

The striker has a bit of a bad reputation in France but is still an incredibly talented player.

The sum offered by Aston Villa means Lorient will seriously consider this bid, but some might think it's a big risk for someone the French press have compared to Mario Balotelli on more than one occasion (in terms of behaviour).

"Ayew ?  Non, non non. Tête de noeud. De l'argent gaspillé."

Might make things interesting
