Jordan Ayew (interest confirmed by Percy)

[teblin]

Going to call it. I reckon people we love him come the end of the season.

If we achieve the add ons we would end up spending over £30m on Oliver Skipp and Jordan Ayew

Probably means we have stayed up

No honestly why did we sign him if he is so shit

Have you ever paid any attention to transfers (especially ours), 50% of them usually end up being rubbish!

Genuine unbiased question:

Who else could you get in, that had 7 assists and 3 goals in the prem, last season, from the right hand wing (cus that’s where he played last season, and that’s where he’ll help us out), for £6m?

He averages about 3 assists a season. Last year looks like a bit of a freak season for him.

Its not my job to find us signings. The club spends millions on recruitment and scouting and the best they can do is jordan ayew.

Revenge can be a long time coming in football.

 

Years ago, Trevor Francis as Palace manager  inexplicably took Ade Akinbiyi off our hands for more or less only a 1 million loss. 

 

To give the younger forum members some context, without hyperbole, that is the equivalent of Palace taking Ward off.our hands  now and paying us a couple of.million for the pleasure

 

The Akinbiyi transfer almost beggared belief at the time.

As long as they contribute heavily towards us staying up and we haven't just pissed more money up the wall

Which will mean we'll still be a Premier League club next season.

That is all everyone wants I am sure

“if Ayew fancies the move Steve Cooper will put him straight into his side”

 

 

Urmmmmm who for?  Because unless he’s replacing BDR on the left, he’s not fit to lace the others boots 

[coolhandfox]

Yeah because Steve has been on the blower to tell Nixon all about who's he gonna put in the side....

To anyone that thinks Alan Nixon has a clue.

 

I bet you cn't wait to watch Graham Potter's blue army line up with the front three of Soule, Ayew and McAtee. Shame we lost Iversen to Derby though.

 

Percy has already confirmed we have bid for him, if anything it shows Nixon seems to know what is going on with this deal.

[VLC86]

Hearing it’s £1m per goal (career goals).

I know mate. I’m not ecstatic about it. But, my question highlights the reason he’s being signed. 
 

£6m is basically nothing, for a player with that amount of premier league games under their belt, who is on form (for a right hand side attacker), who is as fit as a fiddle regardless of age, and who specialises in coming on late in a game, to help his team hold on to points, by drawing fouls.

To be fair, Rudkin has asked him to turn a turd into gold.

[whoareyaaa]

People was against Szmodics for another 4m who has 5 years on Ayew just because he has PL experience and gets fouled the most, baffling

[Gav_LCFC14]

The club just doesn't learn, he's going to be deadwood.

[Fox 4 Life]

6m is peanuts in the grand scheme of things, we need depth and experience and he is a solid role player. My worry would be he is the only signing but as one of 2-3 this is fine business.

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

It's a weird recruitment strategy to paying proper dosh for a lad who must be on a short contract. But if they've given him a longer contract at his age - Christ they are off their heads!!!! It is surely the polar opposite of sensible business?

[FoxinNotts]

We’re not attractive to the top end players.

Too many ostriches on here.

If you don’t think we’re building for a year or two of ‘yo-yoing’, due mainly to the PSR breach, you’re deluded

He absolutely fits the bill for Cooper. Doesn't make it any less shit though.

There's an obvious reason why - look at our situation. So, yes your point is well made.
