Jordan Ayew - sold to Swansea

[Clampy]

Had a great second half but anonymous in the first. What really hacked me off was seeing Kodjia on the right

That was when he did all of his best work so I'm not sure why people are so upset about this

I was going to mention that. He looks more effective out wide and I know we didn't buy him to play there but every now and again he'll do a job there like he did yesterday. I don't see the problem either.

[Matt Collins]

Yeah, the switch in formation mean that he and ayew were really exploiting pockets of space and putting their full backs on the back foot rather than given them all the time in the world

[Nastylee]

He almost single handedly dragged us back into the game. Yes, his face looks like he's moaning and fans think we should sell him but I think he actually hates us being shit and has exactly the right attitude moving forward.

[Matt Collins]

There's no science behind this, but after playing well for a number of games and conceding late on,  it felt part of the narrative that we'd go on to get results due to late exploits

Similarly, I reckon ayew will shortly go on a goal scoring glut

He's the most talented player in this division I think

[eamonn]

Fans think we should sell him? I don't think that's the consensus.

[KevinGage]

Had the misfortune to be in the Dough Ellis for the Brentford game.

Quite a few of the Moaning Minnies around me said they would get rid.

Must be all this attacking flair we have bee blessed with these past five years, we can afford to give someone like that up.

[Matt Collins]

The mail have given him the same rating as Jedinak and Westwood for the game on Saturday

I honestly think I'm watching a different sport from some people sometimes

[Brend'Watkins]

Easily our most gifted player. I like him very much and I really hope he and Kodja hit it off as a pair. He just needs to be a bit more of a team player and curb the "I'm too good for this league" attitude....which he actually is.

[brian green]

In full flow Jordan Ayew is a fantastic player to watch. 

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

Don't know if anyone else has mentioned it but he was the one who was telling Elphick, Jedinak et al to gtf in the box and cause some mayhem before he took the free kick...and they all responded and did exactly that. He's a special talent and like so many players that are so gifted we won't be seeing it for 90 minutes...but a few moments of brilliance can turn games.
He had the Newcastle defence cacking its pants for the last 15 minutes.

[Lastfootstamper]

For a variety of reasons, I didn't make it to the game yesterday. But listening on the wireless, it sounded like he was waging a one-man war against them for the last twenty minutes.

[Villafirst]

Jordan Ayew is superb. To think of selling him madness. He can beat players at will and the goals will start to flow soon. He's closely followed by Kodjia - perhaps the same people will to be rid of him soon? Bizarre.....

Good good player when he gets going , its getting him going that appears to at issue. 

He has bags of skill if a bit selfish and by far our most skillful player in the squad. 

[chrisw1]

He is an excellent player.  Pretty unlucky not to have scored a few goals this season but I'm sure it will come.  And yes, there were a fair few people suggesting we sell him earlier in this thread (or the transfer thread I can't recall).

My old man can't stand him, he thinks he's a sulker and plays for himself not the team. I have tried to convince him how good he is and that his body language is frustration but at nearly 80 his opinions are pretty firmly entrenched. It might be that he doesn't go to games anymore so is only seeing him on the box that gives him that opinion.
