Jordan Ayew - sold to Swansea

[Ads]

Why? Adebayor has a 1 in 2 record in England, while Soldado is shite.

1 in 3. Soldado career is higher. I wouldn't have either of them but just out the 2...

Spurs bought various players before selling bale. They still paid £28m for soldado and £17m for Paulinho.

£28m for soldado... hahahahahaha

Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

It is incredible. When you think about some of the fees paid for players that have done very little or lost value. I mean, Di Maria is about to leave United for 46m, 13.7m loss in 12 months. If we wrote off Amavi on a free next summer for example, that would still be less of a loss that Di Maria has been at United, yet no one will bat much of an eyelid. That is the difference between our buys having to be right, and sides like United being able to swallow it. Spurs clearly can't because they have not bought a replacement, just struck gold with Kane.

I did a lot of reading on all available sources on Ayew, as I had expected to be watching The Bears at Lords. It would seem that he is a very talented chappy, but very temperamental with it, and prone to going missing when he gets the hump. If Timah is going to hook him up with E.A. as seems increasingly likely, then we are going to very dependent on his motivational, therapeutic and possibly psychoanalytic skills.

In one sense, it has been the case for a log time that we are only able to sign players with significant flaws, but the loss of your 2 best players fairly late in the transfer window only exacerbates the problem.   

At least it will not be boring.

I do think Wilkins will help deal with the personalities of them though. The players at Chelsea all seemed to love working with him, and I would imagine he would have a pretty decent way of working with the egos that Ayew and Adebayor clearly have. The fun will be if the 2 of them click for an afternoon there will be fireworks, whoever we are playing.

Hope Kane suffers 2nd season syndrome or an one season wonder. Bloody hate Spurs.

I don't think there's a team as reliant on one player as they are on him. If he does really well, they could finish top four. If he fails, they could finish mid-table.

[mr underhill]

so getting back to Ayew, when's he signing?

Ntep apparently not interested in signing for a non champs leage team.

Send Tim to go and give him the "look into my eyes" treatment.

Do you reckon that is Tim's secret player getting tactic? Serenading them with Brian Adams songs?

Designer stubble, leather trousers and acoustic guitar. Who could deny it?

They probably offer him a gobble by the end of it.

You'd have the one that looks utter garbage in the Premier League?
