Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 31 July Share Posted 31 July Fancy the only hot thread being about whether we will or won't be pursuing Jordan Ayew!!! Talk about slim pickings indeed. Back to the Olympics I suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royston. Posted 31 July Share Posted 31 July 15 minutes ago, scinnell said: Not a fan of this, but 11 goal involvements from 35 games is not too bad.. I'd rather have the experience of Ayew or Reid alongside a younger more exciting winger. I think the problem is we went from Soulè to Reiss Nelson to Ayew in less than a week. classic smokescreen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would work if he was a youngster. He isn't. This can't even really be classed as building. You know we'll hand out another 3 years as well.

FrankieADZ Posted 31 July Share Posted 31 July (edited) so 2 more from the same paper.....id still be very surprised if this is true, given all the lark that the club was going back to the model of getting hungry young players also says "top target" well that aint true, number 1 is a replacement for KDH so Ayew isnt a top target Edited 31 July by FrankieADZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samilktray Posted 31 July Share Posted 31 July (edited) If this is the level of ambition we have as a club liquidate us and fill the stadium with salt & vinegar crisps Edited 31 July by Samilktray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, I doubt the club have told a journalist who covers Crystal Palace who our ‘top target’ is. Even we’re not that inept…surely….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 31 July Share Posted 31 July I have always quite liked him, with the qualifier that I do tend to have a soft spot for non-scoring strikers. His numbers are pretty crap but you have to take into account most of his time at Palace has been under Hodgson with his game plan of get everyone behind the ball and then give it to Zaha. His work rate and ability to hold onto the ball under pressure make him a really good foil for proper goalscorers and creators and a handy outlet for teams that come under a lot of pressure, which you have to assume we will. On the other hand, we are in very short supply of those goalscorers and creators and having just signed a 30+ year old versatile forward with little/no resale value whose main attributes are his adaptability and work rate, you have to question whether another one needs bringing in. For a low enough fee I think it would make some sense, but sooner or later we are going to have to add some actual quality to the squad because graft and experience alone are not going to keep us up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not really played as an out-and-out striker at club level for several years. He sometimes still plays as a striker for Ghana, and in fact got a hat-trick for them against CAR in a 4-3 WCQ win back in June (Fatawu got their other goal).

Number 6 Posted 31 July Share Posted 31 July There's a fair few red flags with this one: patchy record, age, no sell on value, not free, a position we're covered in. Not even sure it gets us out of a hole long term as we need to start getting on players we can resell for profit. A bizarre bit of business.
