Jordan Ayew - sold to Swansea

[Gerrin]

Let him go, totally overrated. His sending off at West Ham, the whole manner of it, when we were so desperate for a result, was a disgrace,

[sid1964]

You can say that about any player who are not in the team, suddenly they are described as the players that should be playing (for instance any sub on a match day after we have lost)

[Brend'Watkins]

He never looked happy here, mind you, he probably never looked happy in his own house....ever.

I'm mixed about this. I think he's got a lot of ability, but I'm disappointed he hasn't come close to showing it.

Two league goals is very poor and its not a case of he saying he could have had more if... as I struggle to recall him being involved in much else.

I'm not keen on their full back at all. Would prefer straight cash.

he was the only one who played like he gave a fuck in our relegation season

True. I quite like Ayew, but have no idea where his best position is. And he never seems to be in any sort of form...

I'm not sure what we should do with him to be honest.

[auntiesledd]

I like him but there has been a few whispers of him not being totally committed. If that's the case and we're going to get Taylor and Rhodes instead I'd be happy enough with that.

Me too. SB has to make the tough decisions if he is to build a team that has the required ingredients to push-on. If Ayew's departure means that the manager believes he will have different - and hopefully better - options available to him, then so be it. History will decree whether he chose wisely or otherwise.

I wouldn't really disagree with that.

[villabear]

Swansea's kit man better have some massively oversized shorts waiting for him.

[Villafirst]

I don't mind Ayew going - AS LONG AS ANOTHER PLAYER IS SIGNED FIRST! We've gone from six options to two!

[cdbearsfan]

I like Ayew, but if we think we can strengthen while replacing him I'll trust in the Board to deliver. They haven't let us down so far. I never gave a shit about his alleged "sulky" demeanour so will wish him well if he leaves. At least until he signs for some horrible club. As others have said, he was one of very few who gave his all last season.

What four have ''gone''? Gestede/RHM/BigMac/Ayew?

[oldhill_avfc]

I had high hopes for Ayew this season but ultimately he's an attacker that scored 4 league goals in 2016. We do need another attacker though if he goes.

The real problem is that we still need a proper striker even if he stays - that's why he's surplus to requirements.

[timeoutbigbar]

There is a player there but he's largely flattered to deceive.  I'm not too concerned about him going, although I would like another option up front.  My concern is Neil Taylor.  I don't rate him at all.  Are we buying him as second choice or are we letting Amavi go?  Either way, I'd rather the cash if Swansea want him.

[curiousorange]

Bruce wasn't going to get a tune out of him. At this stage, with all of these signings being the team Bruce built, I'll shrug my shoulders and say best of luck to him. If he turns out to be amazing at a club like Swansea then I'd be surprised.
