Jordan Ayew - THREAD. LOCKED.

[kingfox]

Off topic, but whoever edits the announcement videos genuinely deserves the sack. 
 

Only good one has been Fatawu, the rest

[orangecity23]

So if that's a two year deal at 5 + 3 million add ons - does that mean 2.5 million of amortisation this year, but (potentially) 5.5 million on next years budget? Ouch. Thats the equivalent of a 22 million quid signing on a 4 year deal.

Anyway, nothing we can do about it now. Hope he does well for us, at least its a versatile player for the bench if nothing else.

Just get behind him, you might not agree with the signing but he is a Leicester player and deserves the fans to at least give him a chance. 

I don't think anyone has anything against Ayew, he'll get a good reception and as much backing as any other player.

 

It's more that it's just another bemusing signing from the club, throwing money down the drain again.

 

The Palace forum even seem shocked that a team could pay such a fee for Jordan Ayew.

Welcome Jordan. I'm behind you because you are blue. 

[daverollo]

Whenever I’ve seen him play, it’s always with a decent level of commitment and bottle. Puts himself about and not intimidated and can pose a threat in the final 3rd of the pitch. If he brings that with him he’ll do alright and prove a lot on here wrong. Think Albrighton with a bit more pace.

[OntarioFox]

Good luck Jordan, what's done is done, rough 'em up 

[leicesterlad1989]

Certainly a meh signing although he's joining us after one of his better seasons with 11 goal involvements in 35 games. I'll settle for that again. 

 

FWIW my friends a Palace season ticket holder and is gutted to see him go.

[Walshy5]

Rudkin out! 

[Kopic]

[Tielemans63]

£85k a week!

Rudkin reading this post, after coming here hoping to see boundless adulation from the fanbase for a fantastic signing.

Great signing, proven goalscorer, just what we need, really improves the team

 

 

I use this meme that much that I had to check I'd not done this post drunk

I think he will turn out to be a nice, shrewd signing for us.

 

He wants to be here and I'm pleased we have got him in!

confirmed?

[Lambert09]

nothing against him personally so will give the guy my support. Prey for the club that he at least delivers what he did last year

He can play tomorrow 

[Stuntman_Mike]

This is just another reality check of how much we've dropped off in recent years.

 

However, I do feel he'll do alright for us.

Ha ha. As if. We once signed a player who wasn’t in time for six months later.

[Tommy G]

£5m over two seasons unless we stay up, not bad. Won’t be a starter but has enough at this level for a back up role.

Then the fans need to unite against the board and stop paying lip service. 

[don_danbury]

ive bin proper pumped for this one. fantastic stuff

[James_lcfc]

I guess everyone has already said their piece on this one in the other thread.

 

Time to back him now - Hopefully he’s one we look back on as a very shrewd bit of business.
