The whole front unit is pretty dysfunctional at the moment.  But Ayew, Grealish  and McCormack have hardly played together so far.  If they have no patterns to their play by January then I think it is reasonable to look for alternatives but it is a little unfair at the moment, specially without a decent front man to spearhead the attack.
we don't have the luxury of time.
I think be it only 3 weeks into the season this is when you do have the luxury of time.

If it were a choice of having Kodjia and Hernandez I would sacrifice Ayew for it.

Agreed.

He has talent, but no end product. Plus I don't like him.

Not sure what those who think he's talented see. 

Never impresses when leading the line and unbalances the midfield when out wide.

Don't like him either - flatters to deceive.  Get rid.

Sack Pardew and they'll have a good set up there.

If he scores 20 goals again this season will anybody care about the application of the definition?

15mil and 3 points sounds like astute business for Bristol City.

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.
Yep. A lot of it seems to be because of his face or his lack of celebration on the weekend. Who cares!

His scoring record for us seems to be 8 goals in 43 appearances across all comps - http://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=56636&season_id=149.

I cant imagine his record of assists is great either.

Think he is a decent player but isnt delivering enough really either.

Flatters to deceive and quite possibly , given some of his recent  ( selfish ) displays, has been playing for a move ...................Godzvilla!

When we signed Ayew from L'Orient I think it was BE who said the French media had Ayew with the lowest shots to goals ratio in the whole of Ligue Un by some distance.  He is an outstanding approach player but does not score anywhere near as much as he should.  I would keep him just for the quality of his football.

I think It was BE whose neighbour described Ayew as a "tete de noed" or bellend.

My own mates thought he was ok but not spectacular "about right for Lorient"

there's a poster on VT with a good record of predicting transfers who thinks Morrison is on his way to B6

Clinton or Van?
