Who else still thinks we got the best of the Ayew/ Taylor deal?

absolute shitarse deal imo


Ghastly. Quite, quite ghastly.
I don’t think we had much choice re Ayew’s desire to leave. I guess the question is whether we should have taken Taylor as part of the deal. At the time we needed a LB ...

I liked his work rate, he put a shift in and clearly had talent. He didn't score enough goals for a forward though. I don't think we've missed him that much.

He's been in England for nearly 3 years and has scored 16 league goals. One of those players that flatters to deceive imo.

There wasn't a lot of complaint when Taylor arrived and looked better than Amavi, but then again, Steve Bruce was manager and we have lost a couple of games.

Personally, I don't think that Taylor has ever looked better than Amavi.  Amavi had some very good games, and some where he looked disinterested.  Taylor, at the very best, has looked ordinary, and most of the time, just quite poor.  I don't think he's good enough for the top half of the Championship, and he certainly isn't good enough for the Premier League.

I agree, he's another one that I wasn't particularly impressed by when we were linked.

I think he's been ok, nothing more than that. Better at defending than going forward.

Amavi was woeful at both levels, let's be honest. Had superstars like Cissokho and Richardson ahead of him at times. Watched a bit of him in a Europa League game recently, on that evidence he looked as poor as ever. Not disagreeing with you on Taylor btw..
