Jordan Ayew - sold to Swansea

[Tayls_7]

I don't get it. All this endless running, making himself available for the ball and trying to effect the game in a way that might cause goal scoring opportunities. What's his problem? Obviously not been 'coached' long enough.

You've been playing FIFA 16 all day haven't you? 😉

Ha ha, no, but I did have a few games last night. I like it.

I think OMVF has got his stuff a bit confused, though, it is Football Manager where you really get an idea of what players are like. On FIFA I manage to reduce any player to a Clayton Blackmore level of meh-ness.

Clayton had a great shot on him. Sure he scored a screamer at VP in the 80's

Didn't every ManU player

Mal Donaghy was pretty poor

[Nastylee]

Yes, his decision making can be a bit iffy and loses the ball but he does something many of our strikers have forgotten to do - try a shot! He's the liveliest of the bunch we have so we have to play him. I'd rather have Weimann than Gabby.

[Dante Lavelli]

Slightly concerned about his ability with his back to goal as the central guy, however he's done enough - just - to get a run of games.

Vertout is next on the rank.  We have to get more out of him.

Just? Last 3 games he scored against Swansea, came off the bench and won the pen v Saints, and came off the bench and scored v Spurs.

Yeah, I think he looks better cutting in from the right or left, playing off someone if he is on his on he could get muscled out a bit.

Fair one.  However for all the good stuff recently he's also been awful on other occasions.
My point was that the recent stuff justifies a series of games, back-to-back, where he should be beyond criticism and undroppable so he can justify his place.

Agree.  I think if we can get the ball to him in wide areas, then he could cause problems.

Another fanzine site reporting that Tom Ross has posted on Facebook that Ayew has injured a leg.
No confirmation yet so may be just a rumour..... Hopefully.

[PeterWithesShin]

What I could find on the web, it was posted yesterday.

He is currently on international duty with Ghana, who embarrassingly drew 0-0 with 177th ranked Comoros on Friday night.

But he pulled out of their training session today. GhanaWeb is reporting that he sat out the session, along with his brother, with a leg injury.

Luckily it appears as though the injury is not serious and Ayew is hopefully going to be in action this week.

[rougegorge]

Well he must be fit as he played and scored today

He can do this 'til his heart's content in front of the Holte.
Touch, turn, twat!

he's certainly growing in confidence.

Look at that pitch. Like 1970's England

There is a player in Ayew. Positive, likes to have a go. He was never going to get much of a kick last week and maybe won't at the weekend, but against the sides that he can get at, he will be a great asset long term I reckon.

He also looks to me like the type that if we drop, will score a bucket load in the Championship.

He and Gestede would probably get forty goals between them.
