People taking the 8mill value as gospel from some random on twitter is fun. Also where's this talk of a 3 year deal come from?

 

A player who has vast PL experience and is versatile. Not a bad signing at all

Do you honestly think the reported fee is true?

It probably isn't far off. Even if they're out by half a million, or even a million, it's quite a lot! 

[DezFox]

Does this put him in top 10 most expensive prem 32+ of all time! Hahahahha

[DJ Barry Hammond]

Given he has a year left on his contract - it’s possible that it would be cheaper to get Jordon to buy out his contract than to pay the reported transfer fee.

 

Here’s hoping he fails the medical!

8m including add ons, if they get the full 8m it means we've stayed up, hence he's done his job 

[moore_94]

Likely the £6m + add ons that Nixon mentioned then (who seems to have actually been quite ITK with this deal) BUT it is still bad business at that value

Or the £4m Percy reported a few days ago…

Never to early

[Mickyblueeyes]

Pretty poor business and care for LCFC money this summer. Not great Mr Guardian. 

[BlackFox]

I really hope he only want to play in Italy. 😐

The reaction to this signing is embarrassing. Too many of you play Football Manager. 

It’s embarrassing that you think a £6-8 million fee plus £40-60k wages on Ayew is remotely good business. 

[Nolucklcfc]

5 million not 8 up front 

[moore_94]

Tanner and Percy both saying £5m + £3m add ons - which would still be us overpaying in my opinion

From the sounds of it I’m guessing just over £4m up front, £2m in add ons that are very achievable and another £2m in less achievable ones, would make sense with the 4/6/8 fees reported by different journos

[NewquayFox]

Sums it up perfectly… 

[UniFox21]

Honestly for that money I'd rather we have just gone for Szmodics or anyone else really.

 

We missed out on Sara by a few million that we're spaffing on this **** 

[FrankieADZ]

truly understand that feeling now

Especially for a team that's going to be deducted points for PSR breaches.

I'm in Devon atm. Can someone a little closer go lob poo at the club shop please.

Hopefully the addons are based on goals scored, because he has about 12 in the last 5 years and we’ll never have to pay!

[kingfox]

I have no problem with some of his attributes, presses well, good defensive work, master at winning free kicks. 
 

Elements of this deal though are infuriating and confusing. We have had some shit transfer windows in recent seasons, but from a negotiation and transfer fee perspective, I think this transfer window is the worst of the lot. 
 

Who in the right mind pays £8 million on a guy who turns 33 next month, it’s madness. Bobby Reid I didn’t mind as much because he was a free transfer, but Ayew is of similar profile, why on earth do we basically need two Bobby Reid’s, baffling. 

[JimJams]

Look at it this way, the job Soumare was asked to do vs Spurs can now be done by Ayew, so if Bouba stays, Jordan will keep him off the pitch.

 

We love you Jordan.

Words fail me. Truly depressing. Back to thinking that Cooper is clueless. If he puts this loser straight into the first XI over the likes of Abdul and Mav, I am done, like @Ric Flair. Probably one of the most depressing signings that I can remember in a long time. Just awful. 

[Dr The Singh]

£8 million, some one needs to get fired

[ozvaldo]

Surely he'll only come on with 20mins to go, work like a dog, press from the front and win us some free kicks to kill the clock when we're desperate?  
He can't start.

I do not believe he agrees the package?
