Jordan Ayew - sold to Swansea

[oswald funkletrumpet]

My new favourite player, magnificent second half even without the goal as he ran and ran and ran.

If more of our side had his spirit and quality we'd be out of the bottom 3 imo. He wouldn't have trouble finding another prem club next season. A shame we didn't sign him when Benteke was here as he does so much good work outside the box.

Today also showed he has to play as wide forward, central striker isn't his game and restricts him.

this

him one side and traore the other, now what would make a back for work for their money

[garyshawsknee]

If we had a decent forward with movement, he would get even better, tireless worker, deserves to be in a better team.

I had an argument after Leicester away in the loo  this guy said he was shit, I said he'd come good and he was excellent

Top performance today. Funny how many people have been hitting out at our transfer policy in the summer and yet our best players this season have probably been the new recruits.

Even more so if you agree that it's fair to allow young players from overseas a couple of months to settle in.

If Sherwood hadn't chopped and changed the team every week, these players would have played themselves into form much more quickly. I am sick of the lazy punditry blaming our recruitment - Ayew and Veretout are by far and away our best players.

Yeah I saw a comment the other day that said oh great more shit French players. I didn't even bother arguing. What can you say to stuff like that?

Yes and there are some who would prefer to pine for Gabby

Yep and if he actually believed in the players that would have helped also. Given all that has been said and written you have to believe he didn't want any of them and all he wanted was bunch of his old Spurs mates and a few other English "lads". Cock.

It is bloody annoying. Our best 3 players are Amavi, Veretout and Ayew, all three signed in the "disastrous summer". The summer was a disaster not because of who Reilly and Sherwood signed, but because of who they did not. The ones who have come have done well by and large. Richards, Veretout, Amavi, Ayew and Gana have all been decent. Even Lescott in the last couple of weeks has woken up. The issue is not convincing Adebayor and Cambiasso. Putting them into the side from day 1 we would have been very different in my opinion.

If they do, I doubt it is in place of Ayew.

[Jimbo]

I'm another big fan of Ayew. More than any other player, he looks fucking pissed off when we lose. Yesterday, he looked pissed off with a draw. He gives his all and he can play a bit too. Get some decent players around him, play him wide, and he'll get even better.

[saunders_heroes]

Impressed with Ayew particularly because when he arrived I remember reading that he had an attitude problem. I've seen no evidence of that, and in fact he's one our most hardworking players.

[PaulTheVillan]

He does work hard and he looks like he cares. Shame the other players aren't on the same level.

[brian green]

His passion was very clear after he had to be consoled by his brother post Swansea. The "problem" of our French, "Moneyball" summer signings was a premeditated and fabricated scenario by the media to spin Sherwood into another prominent post where they could keep wanking him.

Those who pine for Gabby are not right mentally. Ayew is great-I've said it before, he reminds me of Savo a little bit. I haven't given up on this season yet, plenty of games to go. A win soon is crucial and I think we'll get it against West Ham.
