4mil for a 32yr old(33 in september), this ****ing club

That isn’t a problem in itself. It’s small money for a Premier League side, even us, that kind of money is chucked at season loans.

 

It’s the quality of the player more so than the age or £4mill. Very underwhelming and wouldn’t add what we need.

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 

Not sure employing Cooper will help the cause to bring in players of a higher standard tbh but then it goes back to the club for employing him.

 

That's my thought anyway

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.

Pin the tactics on Cooper.

 

But the recruitment and signings are the people above. I can only imagine his reaction when he asked for creativity and they said "we can scramble some coins together for Jordan Ayew"

[SecretPro]

I genuinely feel sick. This club. Christ.

£1mill per goal is great value.

Steve Howard scored 28 goals in 146 games for us but was a top player for us back in those days/league. Because he could hold the ball up, was a team player, was unselfish, could wind the opposition up and help the team win.

we all had our doubts. Wanted to give him a bit of a chance but it’s extremely difficult so far.  But we’ve got to at least give him something to work with. 

[StanSP]

Are those £4m links actually legit? 

 

Or just someone on a wind up that's ended up leaving people in here going batshit crazy?

Panic over linked to Saudi Lge, he’d be a fool not to go

well it is since we are up the duff PSR wise, spending £4mil on a pretty bang average 32yr old then his wages over 50k a week, a 2/3yr deal, and no resale value either

just screams moronic to me

 

like what are they playing it really, give Alves a go, McAteer

Right but think about what I said.  £1mill per goal IS great value.

"Within touching distance"

 

I'll bet it is. If they ask for £5m we'll probably pay it.

 

Joke.

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

This must be a wind-up!

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

Possibly Brentford, Fulham 

[Gazza M]

If this is in addition to Zaha and Hozelock I think it could be a decent signing with his work rate and experience in the changing room. Someone to give 20 mins too as a sub.

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

Unfortunately i don’t think there has been any suggestion at any point that we would be going back to the old proven model.

Fair play to Palace if they can get that kind of money for such trash. Compare that to our failure to get a single penny for any of Cags, Youri and Nacho, all of whom are far superior players to Ayew.

[adam]

I imagine palace cannot believe their luck. 4 million for an almost 32 year old ayew. **** right off Leicester.

[jayfox26]

After the "announcement soon" post earlier, if the announcement is Ayew, I'm burning down the stadium! This club can get to fck. But, hopefully it's not true and I can put the petrol back in the shed. 

[Ian Nacho]

I know I'm in the minority but I quite like this signing. We're obviously not signing him for his goals or to be the talisman, we want him to create the space and win the ball high up the pitch for others. An Okazaki type figure if you like.

tbf some of the signings do then some dont, 

just dont get why we'd spend £4/5mil on a 32/33yr old, if he was a free transfer then sure
