Jordan Ayew (interest confirmed by Percy)

[Sunbury Fox]

The club trying to sugar the pill by saying there will be more signings next week. Yeah, right!  I will be expecting (at best) a Molla Wague-style loan signing going through at 10pm on deadline day then.

Every time I've watched him, he always seems to slip, and fall on the ground. 

 

Good luck to him tho. Hope he turns out to be a decent signing. If not for us, in the Championship. 

 

That fee makes my eye bleed. Wow...

 

As has already been said on this topic. I think that's us done with transfers. They are just diverting our frustrations by saying we have more lined up.

 

Lined up for when....Next window...

 

 

[SafewayFox]

My biggest frustration is how you could argue we attracted better players last summer?

 

Ayew signing sums up the state of our club from top to bottom right now IMO.

[Pliskin]

It’s clear this is a Cooper signing. He’s asked for experience, and hasn’t Ayew played for Cooper at Swansea? So, before we start pelting the club, it’s likely this has come from Cooper.

Don't see what he offers that we haven't got. Needless signing.

That's my take on it. Having started to warm to Cooper after the second half on Monday, I am now squarely back in the 'this bloke is going to wreck the club even more' territory.

Don’t think we need both him and Reid personally

That was his brother wasn't it?

Not a fan of this, I refused to comment on this thread initially because I didn't believe it could have any substance to it 

 

However like always, he at least gets the opportunity to be shit, I'll support him and hope he does a job for us. The worry is not necessarily this season, it's what we are stuck with after.

Is Rudkin going to get this over the line so he can at least be in the match day squad for Saturday............. getting deals done quickly is not a strong point of his.

Both have played for Swansea, Jordan was there between 2017 - 2019. Cooper took charge of Swansea in 2019 I think.

He signed for Palace in 2018.

So just to clarify, if we get two good forward players you'll be happy with Ayew joining too. But if we don't get two good forward players, you'd prefer it if we didn't sign any forward players at all?

Nope,

 

if we sign him with two decent forwards he won’t start and he is a good player to bring on after 70 mins to see a game out and be a dog 

 

sign him only and he may end up being first choice if Vardy not fit (likely) and he isn’t the man to score plenty of goals to keep us up

He’s managed them both I think, definitely Andre as he signed him for Forest.

This is where the club or Rudkin needs to step in a say sorry but that's not the profile of players we want to sign.

Only André, at both Swansea and Forest.

 

Jordan left Swansea in 2018, a year before Cooper arrived.

Yep, when Cooper is inevitably sacked within the next 12 months, we’ll be stuck with a 33 year old Jordan Ayew & 32 year Bobby Decordova-Reid with 2 years remaining on their contracts who nobody else wants. 

[SheppyFox]

I like this signing. Mostly because none of you do 😂

I like his sense of humour. To add to his good appearance record.
