I don't think it's that he's rubbish but it does make you wonder what he offers and where he fits in. He's a very talented footballer but he doesn't score many goals, he could set up more. He seems to sulk a lot, but then we all know he works hard. He's just an odd player and person to figure out.
I think i'm with you on this. I just don't get him

Absolutely. If we lose him and get a good championship level no. 9 in we'll have gone backwards in my opinion, and will seriously lack creativity.

I never thought he would be a prolific scorer, even in this league, but he is a cut above and his work rate and skill will always create opportunities for others.

He should ultimately be the main source of goals for this mythical no. 9 when they arrive, unless we are going to buy more midfielders and change our approach significantly.

Ayew is a good player who is being played out of position, not brilliant but a cut above his team mates.
Havn't followed any of the players we are being linked with but the money makes your eyes water.

I find it funny how some people have decided Ayew is rubbish after one poor game. He's a good player and we shouldn't be losing him.

He's not rubbish, he's just bloody frustrating to watch sometimes.

I get that, but some people seem to want to kick him out of the door. He could slaughter this league if he gets more focussed on team play.

The trouble is that he's becoming less and less a team player and more and more a Zog tribute act.

I agree, I think he might just be right player, wrong time/team.

I'd say that's a bit premature after 5 games of this season.

I am not sure what his position is.
He is very talented but I don't see that his talent matches his contribution.
Not a team player.

Talking of making chances, McCormack has created more goal-scoring chances than any other Championship player this season with 18.

He's doing his part of the two man striker partnership. Now we just need to find the other half

Ayew is talented but I am not adverse to cashing in on him now while he remains a saleable commodity and bringing in more practical players who in my view would better help us achieve promotion. He is in no way indispensible and I don't rate him nearly as highly as some fans obviously do.

Presumably though he's got one of those absurd clauses we specialise in and we'd sell him for one third of a Hernandez? If so really not worth it.

Tony said a few weeks ago that Ayew is going nowhere....
