Ayew being out is not good news

Did anyone watch the Newcastle and forest games?

Were they the ones when he played in the 2nd half?

I'm pretty sure I read that Ayew was player of the month for the whole league in September, based on the Opta stats thing. Top for assists and creating chances (I think the call them 'key passes'). I appreciate that he's very frustrating to watch at times, and seems incredibly petulant, but I'd build the team around him every week. The last year and a bit have been so difficult to watch, but he's the only player that has tried to make things happen every week, despite the crap players and tactics he's had to work around. And he looks like he cares as much as I do. Play him and Ross or Jack behind Kodjia, with a proper 3 man midfield behind them and we'll be fine. RDM's failure to do so is what cost him his job, in my opinion.

Yep.  Unbelievable how opinions are so polarised on this.  I love him and he would be first name on my team sheet.

Because he does fuck all, how are you going to get injured in your mid twenties jogging around rolling 10 yard passes about?

If there was a brick wall built in the middle of the pitch Westwood could  get a wrist sprain  if he was standing too close whilst pointing ...so it could happen.

Yeah, cos all our other attacking options have been ripping it up.

Ayew is comfortably our best player. Getting rid of him would be like the Jimi Hendrix Experience thinking they'd do better without Jimi Hendrix.

Where is everyone on Ayew now? I don't think I've been as frustrated by a player, sometimes I think he is the best player in this squad / division but he never seems to be able to put 2 good games together - in the summer I would have taken any good offer for him & for what he has contributed thus far to this season I still would take cash & run.

[peter w]

I'd sell him in January.

I'd say Kodjia is better than Ayew.

That's a little unfair.  At the time that was written we'd not seen much from Kodjia and Ayew had been the player who was looking to make tings happen for us.

I still think both of them play as more inside forwards than out and out strikers is the way to go.

To be honest, I didn't notice the date the original post was written, so fair enough.
