this club is a shambles, £6mil on a bang bang average 32/33 year old, what are they playing out, wasting that amount of money for

But he has been tackled the most well worth the money

[kingfox]

Hate when this thread goes hot

[chapero82]

They never learn do they? Such a waste of money and his wages will be massive I bet some will be stuck for years with him 

[Dahnsouff]

6m including add-ons

[Mark]

Just sack Cooper if he's behind this which he is. Ayew and Reid here till 2027, pathetic, may as well not bother

[OadbyBlue]

If he’s coming as a rotation wing option that allows us to spend more on a striker, I can live with it. If that’s not the case then it’s not very inspiring.

[whoareyaaa]

He gets stuck in and is a direct attacker but we have BDCR, Fatawu, Mcateer and Mav already, he is also 32/33 and won't be getting any better.

 

3 goals though gerrimin

Feels like just another interchangeable attacker tbh

Yea that's all it will be

As much as you all don't not want to hear it, Ayew will be ideal in our team. He's horrible to play against, runs forever, wins free kicks, holds the ball up and gains yards. We could go out and buy some maverick who can do all the tricks but that's not what we need right now.

6 million quid. Shit the bed.

 

Won't even get in the side. Who's he gonna drop out of the first 11 from Monday to play this pillock?

Worrying that the quote says he's getting straight in the side.

I can see McAteer heading out on loan

[FoxesWalk]

The fee is stupid but he’ll be handy I’m sure, as a third choice forward and to cover other forward positions. If it’s anything other than backup to Vardy and another striker (a new, first choice striker), then this is pretty concerning. He is versatile and hard working, but too old for the fee and the contract we will likely offer him. 
 

I just hope he is coming in as a squad player and another striker is coming.

Why do the figures go up every ****ing time

Come on, he is obviously not a first XI guy, he is another attacker we can use if needed.

Strange rather develop him in the Prem and try to increase his value

[Babylon]

Two years I’m fine with, 7 assists for palace last season is a very good return. How we played that second half I can see why we want him. Maybe not first choice and obviously explored other options, but we need more bodies.

Just worried about that tweet stating he will play.

We don't need him.

How much game time is he likely to get to be able to develop behind BDCR, Ayew, Fatawu, and Mav though?

 

A season doing well in the Championship is likely to develop him more and increase his value imo

[Ted Maul]

You know what, as long as this is alongside signing another proper forward, I'm not that against this. Saw enough from Facundo on Monday to know he'll do a job. 3 years would be a push, mind.

He improves our squad, and gives us a few options. Vastly experienced Premier League player. For this season he’ll be a better option than gambling on a young kid from abroad at that price. 

How does he improve our squad?

 

He certainly doesn’t improve our starting 11 and it was clear to see that is needed on Monday.

 

We lack quality and filling it with a striker/winger that has scored 37 goals, 25 assists from 275 PL appearances and turns 33 in a couple of months will be a drain on our resources more than anything else.

 

I despise our board/top level management so much.

We need attackers, not all of which will be starters. Sure would have someone flashy, but that is probably not what we need for ,the fight.

We also need goals in the side. Can you describe Ayew as an attacker?

Stay at home then. That attitude will not be missed.

Why would you believe that? You think this is a direct quote of what is likely a private conversation, seems far fetched to me.
