Jordan Ayew - sold to Swansea

[manic-road]

so am I reading this right. He is in Brum. The Club want more coin. and he's threatening to do a Benbteke?

Yarp

[mr underhill]

he'll do nicely.

[silhillvilla]

Get in. Onto the next one ASAP.

Sounds like he's holed up in Brum somewhere then .

Legs XI?

[johnny from donny]

Seems like he has a bit of an attitude and might well do the same to us if he turns out to be any good here.

Looks like the bid may not have been accepted after all and he's just trying to force a move, nice guy

OR, he was told he could leave for a certain amount, we agreed to pay it only for Lorient to increase the fee. He feels like he's been lied to. A situation easily avoided by having his buyout  conditions in black and white on a contract that all parties have agreed on.

Get in. Onto the next one ASAP.

I thought you said you were glad we could be missing out on him?

[Steve67]

Why did I just read Ayew's comments in a Joey Bartonesqe French accent?

I like this lad. He says it like it is. Get it done, move on to the next one!

With just 2 weeks to season start we are now in a "beggars can't be choosers" situation . We need at least 3 more in after this guy.

This is where we, as football fans, show our double standards (and I include myself in that). If one of our players did this we would be calling him all sorts of bastards but as we are the ones looking to benefit we don't give a toss.

The transfer window is open until the end of August. We've got plenty of time.

I made the point before , we have 3 winnable games in August , we could do with getting off on the front foot .

I agree, but we're hardly in a 'beggars can't be chooser's' situation really.

The other thing to consider is that there will be good players to be had as the window closes.   Its perfectly good business in the market place to buy at the last minute.   I cannot be critical of Villa for not being panicked into acquisitions.   Austin is a typical case in point.

That can go either way though, say a club makes a poor start to the season doesn't score a goal in their opening games then come deadline day that striker they need becomes an even more pressing requirement .

[Villafirst]

We need players in now. Our forward line is threadbare. Players, especially from abroad need time to bed in. Leaving it to the end of August is far too risky with a small squad lacking quality.
