Ayew comes on and immediately brings his team up the pitch.

Ayew needs to come on but FT isn't ready for that discussion 💅

Just what i wanted.

yea

please bring timmy on.

I cannot stand VAR. Yes it's helped us but that's taken ****ing ages to work out a simple decision. Was Vardy in Leno's line of sight? No. So why does it take 15 minutes to make the decision? It's bad enough for us at home yet in the ground you've got no idea whats going on.

To be fair we have taken the sting out of the game.

i would put Facundo on the right, Fatawu on the left and bring Ayew on for BDCR. 4-4-2 with someone that can actually hold the ball up front. Then Mavididi for either of the wingers after 55-60.

Into em then Leicester. They've got an extremely attacking team out.

Two changes for me. Mavididi in for BDCR and Skipp in for Ndidi.

Me resisting the urge to point out you all how wrong you are and how this is good business.

Nice to see us go after a genuine creator. Have we signed one since Maddison.?

Theyre only quoting the original tweet.

Scored in the bronze medal match at the olympics.

Pretty sure he was all over the other deals we've done with Belgian players/clubs yeah.

What a bizarre take on things.

Worth pointing out that the other big reason for having a set piece coach is to defend set pieces. Spurs put 13 corners bang on the money and we defended them all stoutly. The only chance they really had from them was the 98th minute header that came from a freekick.

No doubt but the signing of Ayew makes no impact on that.

I’ve not seen a single person suggest that we should sign Ayew and then shut up shop. Even Cooper has constantly said that he wants two attacking players. He’s a good addition to the squad but we need guaranteed goals (or as guaranteed as a team predicted to finish 20th can manage to attract - which is a situation I don’t think many realise we are in).

I don’t see that he will be second fiddle but ultimately if he’s not scoring or assisting then he won’t be playing ahead of those two because they offer more outside of goals. id expect us to play Skipp and Mavididi tomorrow.

They have three fullbacks with Tete on the right, Robinson on the left and Castagne as the utility man for both sides.

Mavididi is worth 3 times as much as a Premier League player as he is in the Championship. We can't afford to go down.

Exactly. I was much more in favour of the deal when it was about £4m but we're still getting a solid Premier League ready player for the same price we paid for an academy lad. Now we only need a proper number 9 and i'm content with this window.

I'd imagine because we were offering 3 years.
