Jordan Ayew - sold to Swansea

[old man villa fan]

He was one of the few that came out of the season when we were relegated with any credit. His frustrations came to a head though in that match at West Ham.

I think in the Championship he reacted badly to Gueye and Veretout moving on and the handling of Amavi by Bruce.

[mr underhill]

Well he scored a few in the PL I'd admit but after agitating for a move here to the point of threatening to go on strike,  he generally acted in a very surly, petulant way once relegated. And he seems to be doing the same to Swansea..

[SamTheMouse]

Relegation specialist. If the teams you play for keep ending up in the Championship, maybe that's your level.

Nowhere near as good as he seems to think he is.

[PeterWithesShin]

A player that flatters to deceive, looks good in patches but after 3 years in England and approx 100 league games he's only scored 17 league goals.

he was the only player who could be arsed in many games in that period
 he let his temperament get the better of him that night at West Ham i was 5 ft away in with the WH fans no one else gave a toss at least he tried

He did the same to force his move to us if I recall....

Seems to be a regular occurrence nowadays, I wonder if he'll be seen in a car park at a club on deadline day.

[eamonn]

Presumably he's not being paid?

[Bad English]

Ayew has done this refusing to train to engineer a move thing before, has he not?

[Des Little]

Complete and utter wanker. I hope his career falls in.

[PeterWithesShin]

I'd love it, love it, if the clubs supposedly interested in him contacted his agent and said "we'll pass thanks, we are no longer interested in a player that behaves so unprofessionally."

[ChicagoLion]

Never liked him, wanker.

[Mortimer's Bear]

Where do the club stand legally with regards to stopping his wages or even suspending him? Surely he's not fulfilling his contract.

Also, never understood why the buying club would continue their interest in a player who can behave like that. Wouldn't want him anywhere near my club however good he is.

I don't disagree with you but, this is professional football we're talking about, lots of players/agents with low standards and a serious ignorance of ethics.

Then, we see the occasional opposite as displayed in our own club by both Alan Hutton and James Chester.  Both could have moved, on I would imagine improved terms, but chose to stay. 

I like to believe that there are other players at other clubs that show the same level of loyalty it's just that we don't always get to hear about them, not newsworthy enough.
