I'm telling you now, he's exactly the type of player we need in our position. 

On what planet is he? We already have Fatawu, Reid and now Bouonanotte thst play on the right. 

 

The bloke averages 3 goals a season in the Premier League. Extraordinary

The other way to look at this is, this window will define Rudkin.  Let’s wait and see. 

Makes no difference, the bloke is untouchable. We are an absolute shit show of a club.

[ronnup]

If we go from those 3 touted yesterday,  to Ayew and nobody else, i dont think i can carry on

Buonanotte likely to play through the middle but I think Ayew is just about the perfect player to bring off the bench to kill a game.

Oh **** off. Ayew is ****ing abysmal.

[georgelcfc34]

It doesn’t mean we are signing him to be a starter. He would be someone to come off the bench and hold the ball up/waste time late on in games. And when we desperately need a goal - he will be another body to throw on. 
Would be a good squad signing and is obviously also mates with zaha if he signs too.

It'd be nice to get some players in to allow us to get to that stage

What with his 20'odd goals in 10 seasons? Deadly.

On the planet of...

1. Having very little in terms of budget

2. Having to fight and scrap this season

3. Having little in terms of possession this season

4. Needing someone who can hold onto the ball up front

Big assumption, that we'll be in a position where we want to kill off a game!

Makes absolutely no sense

This is getting pretty desperate Ayew !!!

 

I’m beginning to suspect all the other names we have been linked with were a smokescreen. This is a classic Cooper signing.

Yeah i'm not saying we should sign Ayew and then shut up shop.

 

Hlozek, Ayew and a maverick like Zaha would be a good end to the window and would mean we could lose Cannon, Wanya and potentially Daka.

[Tielemans63]

If this is as well as someone who scores goals then it's not too bad, if this is the only forward we're signing...God help us. 

[whoareyaaa]

 Ayew dreadful signing

Zaha will not sign, so he will not need his mate

[Reginaldo]

Pretty sure that the Mayan’s predicted this as the final step before the the end of the world. It’s been fun whilst it lasted FT…

Really? Where’s he going then. No way Steve parish is paying 10million for a 1 year loan

[Lambert09]

I just hate that the club have felt the pressure from pre-season so released exciting links to the press. But this just might be all a PR stunt to claim we tried whilst,  actually waving the white flag and bringing in the bare minimum players. 

 

Id be this fuming if we were bringing him in for a year in the championship. he’s just this eras darrius vassell

if it was a mil i could maybe say alright; but 4 ****ing million

 

what is this ****ing club on, like really, so much for going back to the old transfer model

 

have to admit, ive never ever felt so disconnected and uninterested in a season about to start as this one

[lcfcsnow]

Reid - no one else wanted. Okoli - no one else wanted. Ayew - no one else wanted. Scraping the barrel fc

[Scotch]

There hasn't been a whole lot of optimism around the club recently but the last few days it really did feel like it was starting to build slightly with links to Ioannidis, Zaha, Hlozek and now I can't help but feel like the club have deliberately tried to stamp it out by bidding for Ayew. 

 

Ofcourse it WASN'T deliberate but the end result is the same. Absolute dread for the season and an increasing indifference. 

[ealingfox]

The perfect tonic after going without a goal for over half of our pre-season.

[JimJams]

£1mill per goal is great value.

[Gravel]

Please can everyone start posting on one of the other transfer threads to make them hot instead. This one just a right mod killer.
