Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[sid1964]

According to Di Mateo in the Mail our net spend was £30 million

Any idea on the wage structure.. I haven't seen any of the personal terms on the new players.

[Abbeyfealeavfc]

I'm unconvinced by Ayew. Bought as a forward 12 months ago and Villa have never won when he has scored. I know we haven't won many when he hasn't scored, but we don't need forwards with that kind of record. He wouldn't make my starting 11 at the moment based on this alone never mind his temperament and sulks.

Can and does beat players with ease. Works for the team and just needs a couple of goals to start a run. Gestede now we have Adomah to supply him will be an important player for us this season.

just read that Marseille made and failed with a last gasp £11m bid for Ayew. Turned down by the good Doctor as no time to land a replacement.

i would have taken the money

we have kodija, adomah, gestede, grealish, mcormack, kozak (coughs)

i think we will see plenty of sulks in the near future

Would have been madness to sell him.  He doesn't have to smile, just play well.  He has always worked hard and he could be vital for us this season.

play well like he did at bristol then sulked?

It's always baffled me why people need to know such things. Those that do, can I ask why?

I hope we told Marseille not to spend that money and call again on 1 January

If he keeps in form and scores some goals between now and January £11m wont be anywhere near enough.
I think he's a great player and a few goals, to go with a few wins, will put a smile on his face

So one average game outweighs a season of being our best player by a country mile (yes, yes no competition last year but even so) and mostly decent games so far this season?  OK, so his finishing has been off, but his general play is still very good.  But fuck it, he doesn't smile so shoot him.

Chris, you are fundamentally missing the salient points of most people's reservations regarding Ayew.

[JUAN PABLO]

I like Ayew , I think he is one of the best players in the league and really excited we have kept him with Kodjia, RM , Rudy , Jack and uncle Albert , we have some great attacking playes there probably the best forward line/players in the league .

Would have just liked another Ledley/Lansbury type in there for back up.

[themossman]

So, are we saying he hasn't got an absurdly low release clause? WTF?

I am too.  What are the reservations?

I think people are way way too quick to judge Ayew. He's shown his quality last year and a bad game at Bristol doesn't mean we should boot him out. He was one of the few players who appeared to care last year.

I agree I don't want him gone, especially when we couldn't replace him. I see Ayew is now the fashionable player to slag off.
