Iran Posted 30 July Share Posted 30 July As much as I hate to say this, this transfer makes sense and is most definitely a Steve Cooper signing. Jordan Ayew has been a steady and consistent player for Crystal Palace and is already prem-proven. We need that experience and level-headedness that Ayew brings in order to stay up and continue challenging in the Premier League. To many's dismay, it's a definite yes from me. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By this logic Daka is prem proven? means nothing apart from he has proven he is not what we need. We have plenty of experience in the squad now. What we need are young hungry players that have a re sale value. We need assets that increase in value not depreciate. Need to think long term rebuild.

I understand he's not an exciting player, but I see the logic in this transfer given the club's situation and I can see Steve Cooper's vision in pushing for this transfer. But to answer your question, I can imagine Cooper playing him on the wings (even if he doesn't start many games). 6 minutes ago, DezFox said: By this logic daka is prem proven? means nothing Brother, you can go to any stat aggregator of your choosing (your SofaScores, WhoScoreds, FotMobs, etc...) and see clear daylight in differences between Ayew and Daka in performances in the Premier League. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Daka actually scored goals. If we did have any genuine interest in Ayew though it would be because he scores in absurdly high percentiles for defensive contributions as a winger and Cooper is going to pretty much play the anti football he did at Forest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbury Fox Posted 30 July Share Posted 30 July Ayew is surely an alternative to Reid, rather than a player to sign in addition to him. It's very sad to think that within 4 years of challenging for CL qualification 2 seasons running, we're now reduced to picking up scraps from the likes of Fulham and Crystal Palace. Might as well sign Andros Townsend as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recruitment hasn't grabbed a decent appreciating talent since wantaway Fofana, its all gone a bit to shit for a good number of years now. Basically, since the Chairman passed on.

He did also get 11 G+A in the league last year, which is pretty much his best ever PL output. We would at least be getting him at his peak! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooky Posted 30 July Share Posted 30 July Shit and uninspiring transfer link, just praying this doesn't happen. Our business has been shit so far, signing yet another CB and squad player from Fulham, whilst selling our best player for peanuts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tielemans63 Posted 30 July Share Posted 30 July Fast forward two years, he's 34, not in the side, on a decent wedge and we can't get rid. I've seen this film before 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, which leads me back to my point as to why I'm saying this Ayew link probably shouldn't be as trivial or controversial as it's being made out. A newly promoted Premier League club threatened with possible points reduction and new manager opts to buy an aging, but steady and consistent, Premier League proven player to add into the mix of young talent? Shocker, that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarkey123 Posted 30 July Share Posted 30 July I’d be all for moving Daka on, cutting our losses and get this guy on a free. His hold up play and bringing fatawu/mavididi into the game would be 10x than Dakas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He clearly isn’t a bad player - played loads for palace and I always think he looks relatively decent - don’t mind the incoming abuse but I think for a small fee he would be a very decent squad player is he more prem proven than mavididi- yes than Fatawu yes than mcateer yes than daka yes than cannon yes if Fatawu and mav are first choice wingers then reid and ayew are pretty decent back up in my view we need to stop quoting champions league and prem winners - we were a slightly better than average championship side last year - that’s where we are at - right there - we need cover and experience if we are going to stand a chance - 2 year deal - relatively low wages - all ok by me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
