Jordan Ayew - sold to Swansea

[KevinGage]

Someone mentioned on here recently that he's more a replacement for Weimann than Benteke, and if you look at it that way, he is definitely an upgrade.

It also makes a mockery of the assertion that it is these pesky Johnny Foreigner-types that are letting the side down.

Gabby and Lescott are local lads, but they have been atrocious for large chunks of the season.

Ayew plays like he actually cares, even if it is only for personal pride.  If a 4/5 more of our lot had his drive and determination, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in.

It's amazing how hard he works for the team and how seriously he takes it. Love him

[Jimbo]

Ayew is the diamond on the cowpat of our season. I like him immensely. It has always been true of Villa fans, you don't have to be a world beater, but if you try your heart out for this club you'll be adored.

[Clampy]

He should have buried that 2nd half Chance he made for himself mind.

[PaulWinch again]

He is ace, I love the way he plays the game.

[avfcpg]

Would have loved to see Benteke and him up front, kind of Dalien and Deano reborn...:-)
He'll get better as well, as will Gana, Amavi and Veretout. I remain convinced that they are going to be very very good players....hopefully for Villa.

[villabear]

He comes across as someone who really wants to do well for the team. I love his enthusiasm. He and Veretout are looking better with each game.
I don't want to get carried away but with a few more performances like last night we'll at least put up a fight for the rest of the season rather than the sorry excuse we have been.

[Mortimer's Bear]

Perhaps we did get the right brother after all, last night he was superb.

Also, I love how  genuinely devastated he looks every time he misses a chance.

[PaulWinch again]

I thought all he needed was time when he signed and he's showing it now, he has real quality.

[sid1964]

He reminds me of Dwight Yorke, the way he glides past players, if the miracle is to happen though we need him to score a fair few goals between now and the end of the season.

For me he is looking a quality player.

Also loved it when he twisted and turned their left back so much that he fell over.

He was running their back line ragged all game. He's very good at getting himself a yard or two of space, even when surrounded by players, and firing away a shot.
The fact he was still able to go on that marauding run through their defence on 85 minutes, having ran all game, was astonishing.
There was also one moment he chased one of the Palace attacking players 50 yards when they were countering, and stole the ball off his toes and then set us on a counter. I just love the guy. He's easily my favourite player right now.

[mr underhill]

the one highlight of this dreadful season. We need to keep hold of him.

Sadly, we won't.

[Risso]

He's got that lovely ability to beat a man, make space and leave defenders on their arse.  If we can sign a decent goal scorer to help him it will make a big difference.

Sadly, we won't.

Probably not if he keeps up his current form.

But if he keeps up his current form, in a world where Lewis Grabban costs £7m and Steven Naismith costs £8m we should be looking at a pretty massive profit.

Obviously I'd rather keep him than have the massive profit, but it's preferable to another Bent / N'Zogbia situation.
