Jordan Ayew - THREAD. LOCKED.

[fox_favourite]

And people said we didn't like Cooper because he was 'ex forest manager'. This man is the symbol of what was wrong with that appointment and the summer that followed. 

 

Good riddance when he's gone. He didn't help us in any way at all. 

 

Let's hope he doesn't make it on the pitch and is left at home. 

[mozartfox]

I do hope retire his squad number.

Didn’t someone actually post on here he’s popular with the youngsters? Maybe he can become a coach 

Probably better suited as a double decker leyland bus, especially one with its wheels missing.

Enjoy the Turkish 2nd division you useless lump of lard.

[Stadt]

Maybe he will come back one day in a coaching role?

Some people didn’t like Cooper because he was ex Forest thats a fact as I know a fair few that was a factor in not getting behind him. 
Ayew was a disaster signing but I don’t think he was brought in to be the main striker and take over from Vardy which is where he ended up trying to do a job. 
Why we didn’t go for a striker with pace for the last few years is one of the most annoying ridiculous parts of the last few years. Complete incompetence for us to be relying

on Ayew.

Got one of the Saudi clubs that aren't state backed written all over him.

Palace should sign him back if their fans love him so much. He can be their Barry Hayles

Knowing our lot, they are going to look at this and say, "really we should offer him an extension, he's got experience in relegation fights"

Oi! There’s only one Barrington Hales!

Yes—Jordan Ayew could still play in the Premier League, but the role he’d have is the key question.

He’s not really suited anymore to being a starting No. 9 for a team that needs goals every week. His scoring output has never been high, and at this stage of his career that’s unlikely to change. So if a club expected him to lead the line and carry attacking output, that would probably fall short.

Where he does still fit is as a squad player in the right system:

• Mid-to-lower table teams that value defensive structure and work rate
• Managers who want pressing and discipline from forwards
• Bench or rotation role, covering multiple positions across the front line

He still offers:

• Tactical intelligence
• Ball retention and fouls won
• Defensive contribution from the front
• Experience in the league

But the trade-off is limited creativity and inconsistent finishing.

So realistically, he’s at the stage where he’s a useful Premier League squad option, not a focal point. If a team signs him expecting reliability and effort, he can still do a job. If they expect goals and flair, they’ll be disappointed

He was a cult hero there! They have really struggled since he left!

Was he actually good for Palace or was he just one of those really shit players that fans warm to for some reason

70 goals in 18 year senior career. Has never EVER been good. Absolute wank stain.

cult hero means shit but likable not being disproven by this bloke, except the idea that any set of fans could ever like him feels far-fetched

[Stavros81]

To be given the Number 9 shirt is an absolute travesty a disgrace! Should of retired the Number 9 shirt when Vardy left 

[TheLittleBigMan]

Tell you what, we'll be missing his pace upfront next season. Moves like a cheetah that one.  

[JimJams]

Young Jordan should be thanked for what he's done for this club.

 

He knew that the number 9 shirt would prove to be a huge millstone round the neck of any player that put it on.  He knew how much pressure would be heaped on whoever adorned the number of the clubs greatest player.

 

So he stepped in, and performed.  Performed at such a level that nobody will feel pressured ever again to don the number 9!

 

Thankyou Jordan.

 

 

 

And bless you.

Been here two years and I just don’t consider him a Leicester player. Same with quite a few others. 

[Richmondfox]

I can’t remember who it was against, but when we had a counter and he was in the middle of the park, started running, stopped and passed it backwards. I remember the stadium booing. He never should’ve played again just for that. Any manager with a clue should have subbed him instantly.  His world famous holdup play was a myth I think was created by the same bots as the Hamza army.  

 

I’ve never hated a player as much as Ayew. 
 

Mavadidi is a young Ayew.  He will have a career, becoming wealthy but never delivering anything. 

[davieG]

According to Transfer market he's our 18th ranked player

Well he has been pretty rank all season and more.

34 year old forward with only 70 career goals?! Is that right??

[Sunbury Fox]

Buying not 1, but 2, 'past it' wingers, who were never more that PL squad players at their peak, within days of each other in summer 2024 really was the apogee of beloved Jon's "strategic squad building". So far, at least!
