jv1 Posted 14 August Share Posted 14 August If we had signed zaha and the other 2 lads who names I can’t say this week the attitude to Ayew would be very different- in isolation 3 million for a really experienced prem level player coming off a really good season to be a squad player for us would be decent business - without the other bigger starting players it just seems crap - I get that but he isn’t a bad player for where we currently are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HankMarvin Posted 14 August Share Posted 14 August 2 minutes ago, SafewayFox said: Which was his highest goals and assists return in years. His last three seasons looked as follows - 20/21: 1 goal, 3 assists 21/22: 3 goals, 3 assists 22/23: 4 goals, 3 assists He turns 33 in less than 4 weeks and would be on a three year deal, no thank you. Yet people were having a wank fest over Zaha initially, with 7 goals and 2 assists the last time he played in the prem and just had the same goals and assists as Under in the Turkish league even though Under played 400 minutes less.

You don’t think Fawatu might look up to and enjoy being in a squad with someone who’s gained over 100 caps for Ghana? Lovely sentiment, but please no more. Had a terrible day at work, please just no more of this 😂 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you’ve completely missed my point, someone suggested Ayew contributes with goals and assists. His overall stats are hideous. Zaha on the other hand scored double digits for Palace 3 times and was their talisman for years. Zaha on loan was a win/win, Ayew on a three year deal is not.

Lambert09 Posted 14 August Share Posted 14 August i’m going to take my hysteria out of the equation and just look at the rationale for a player like Ayew. Firstly, he’s a player that you have to ignore the stats for. He’s an Okazaki, which means he is there purely to make those around him better…he’s done that well. I think, had we not wasted a spot on BDR I could possibly wrap my head around it. We absolutely under no circumstances could start with him as our striker. That’s my biggest concern right now. If it’s done tomorrow there’s a very real chance we’d start with Ayew Bdr. Buonnanotte Fatawu That would be absolutely turgid. If however we combine it with a strong forward Fotis/ Hlzek then he’s here as coverage for the front 3… doesn’t improve us at all but It would be a slight improvement in coverage. Problem is, in tougher games I think copper would rather have bdr and ayew than fatawu/mav or buonnanotte. Im in the acceptance stage because it’s going to happen. I’m not going to keep on with the negativity once it’s done, the player won’t deserve it and hopefully he’ll win a few of us over. He’s a good pro and will hopefully rub some of that off on mav and fatawu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I wasn't being deadly serious, Fatawu has bags of confidence pretty sure we have coaches at the club and signing Ayew will not make a difference to his career imo.

Paninistickers Posted 14 August Share Posted 14 August Maybe it is just about tolerable if we had t signed BDCR....to have them both is absolutely ghastly. The grimmest if grim. Even Sheffield United would wobble at this, Shades of the summer we got Scimeca, Steve Howey, LesFerdinand, Dabizas and Keith Gillespie all on frees as we were totally broke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the point was someone said he contributed no assists and no goals. Which isn’t the case. Zaha costing 10m on the accounts isn’t win win baring in mind where we are with PSR and it being a reduced amount of £83m. I’m not an advocate for Ayew either, but if the incompetent club/scouting department can’t identify talented youngsters to fulfil the squad needs and potentially sell for a profit at a later date. I’d rather start the season with Ayew in the squad than no signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 14 August Share Posted 14 August It's worth noting in seasons when he's played for PL teams very much in the lower half of the table where wins are at a premium and goals scored equally as scarce, he's one of the worst performing wingers who's played consistently 30+ games a season that I can recall in the last decade. This would be like employing a landscape gardener to do haircuts. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
