Jordan Ayew - sold to Swansea

[SoccerHQ]

As well as he did at times last season I always thought his best position was as a wide forward in a 4-3-3.

We've been playing that for most of this season so I really am bemused why he hasn't scored more goals or looked a class above at this level, he did that in a terrible team last season.

His only real success in France was when he was played centrally but he's never been a prolific goal scorer. Based on performances this season he wouldn't be missed.

Whilst I would reluctantly agree with you, I'm concerned that we may be loosing our options from the bench.  Despite what has been said about him, Rudy was an option from the bench, as demonstrated against Leeds.  Ayew is a great option from the bench and also good cover.  Currently, RM cannot be relied upon so we are all of a sudden finding ourselves quite light on attacking options, barring the saving grace that is Gabby.

I have posted a couple of times reports in the French media that Jordan Ayew had the highest percentage of shots off target in Ligue Un.  Perhaps he is just a very bad finisher.

He should playing through the middle as a lone striker but that won't happen.

I agree.

[wittonwarrior]

We need a target man or two and Ayew is not a goal scorer.  We all know he is talented but he has done jack shit this season.  Not quite sure what he brings to the team at the moment.  Sell him?  Perhaps if  we can bring the right option in.

Me too

playing him wide is bollocks

For every one thing that Ayew does well, he manages to mess up at least five things. Undoubtedly talented, yet utterly frustrating to watch him play.

He'll always be extremely frustrating, but I think we at least have to take a look at what he can do now that he doesn't (or at least shouldn't, in theory) have to pick up so far away from goal because of a midfield that can't get the ball to him in threatening positions.

[Matt Collins]

I don't agree he should play lone striker. He's not tall, strong or fast enough

Probably best in a two I think

I wonder if Bruce is heading toward a 442 with recent signings but he very rarely played that at hull

[passport1]

If he can't fit in following the introduction of the new signings he will be gone in the summer. He's one of a number in the last chance saloon in my opinion.

As do most attacking players. But the minority of things they do right should end up making a difference at the moment Ayew's 1 in 5 is only a nice turn but rubbish end product.

He's just scored, decent finish too. Looks like he's staying out there a bit longer.

[Steve67]

Nice goal. Why wouldn't Swansea want him after that. (Until they realise that's probably as good as it gets).

[Rigadon]

He has talent but I warm to him less the more he plays.  Weird.  Oh well, if he goes I hope we get (good) players rather than money.
