Jordan Ayew - sold to Swansea

[eamonn]

Even if he had a pre-emptive medical before the window, surely a current one would be needed prior to a club splashing out millions on him?

[Villafirst]

I hope SB has at least 2 forwards lined up if Ayew moves. We look very thin up front. McCormack playing the idiot. Gestede gone. Only Kodjia and Gabby? Even RHM not in contention and Davis has a lot to learn.

I still reckon Rhodes is nailed on. We're haggling over money and they now have more forwards than they want. We'll settle on a smaller up front but with add ons that will take it somewhere close to what they want. Its how we work out the add ons. No point putting it into promotion as the likelihood is that we'll give them 10m anyway. So, as we don't seemingly want to pay 10 mil then we'll  be offering sell on clauses or promotion + caps+ sell on clauses. Boro will no doubt so balls to that and say what they want. Either way he'll come if Bruce wants him enough.

I hope you're right. We need two strikers in if Ayew leaves. Rhodes and Akpom would be great...

[Chris Jameson]

I haven't been paying attention, is Akpom the one who was on loan at Hull from Arsenal? Are we signing him? Has he ever scored a goal?

[BOB MANSFIELD]

I think Chuba Akpom would be as useful as Bamford..........i.e. not at all useful to our quest.

that's  the  happiest he has ever looked !

I think we can cope with Ayew leaving although I'd have liked to have seen him given a run of games in a position up front. However, talk of straight swap with Taylor sound ridiculous.

He smiled with a grimace.

Cope with Kodjia and Gabby for the rest of the season? I'd like to see Ayew play centrally with a creative midfield for once supporting him. We'll probably never know...

I can't and won't cope.  Its disastrous.  He's the best skills  player in this squad if not the  league . James  Chester said without hesitation ayew most skillfull. He comes from a footballing family . My brother arsenal fan would have him in his club as he am an arsenal type player.
And to swap him for Neil Taylor left back is scandal.
I'll tell you now if ayew goes he 'll score at least 7 goals by may. 

I 100% say he should stay and would have him as support striker.
There's a great chance with these new creative midfielders for Jordan ayew to be with quality players.
I never forget that he tried so hard last season and was proud player . He never gave up and was unfairly having to defend and things where attacking is his forte.



This season he's been unlucky and like how under Sherwood was nt fancied he's not seemingly under Bruce.

Good luck to him and I think he's ace! A premier league player and hopefully a afcon winner.
Not happy with situation-fuming !

[ASHTONVILLA]

Meh.

Would rather have one goal in two no skill Jordan Rhodes than skillful creates nothing doesn't score mardy boots Ayew.

Taylor is a better defender than Amavi, and will improve the team. Amavi might make a decent winger, and this allows us to try him there.

I agree  .

Do not swap this guy for a donkey full back.
