Support him from the sidelines, and I'm sure he will work like a dog for us on the pitch. I reckon it will be Ayew and a nine. That's it. That’s the worry. 38 games and the pressure of an entire city on the shoulders of a 19 year old argentine then I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babylon Posted 21 August Share Posted 21 August 7 minutes ago, Claudio Fannieri said: This isn’t Glover, this is on the Manager and DoF as they have agreed to target a certain profile of player. glover is then tasked with identifying players within that profile. I would suggest the profile is old, rank average and played the prem. Absolute dog muck of a strategy. I’m not averse to a few older players so long as they are heavily supplemented by younger players also. A core of English players and a few older heads mixed in with some young and hungry players was Pearsons sort of MO. I’m just not interested in another three year contract. Two years fine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VLC86 Posted 21 August Share Posted 21 August Rudkin- We keep losing out on players to other teams. Also Rudkin- if other teams don’t want them, we can’t lose out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingpower Posted 21 August Share Posted 21 August 16 minutes ago, South Shire Fox said: I honestly dont think he’ll be that bad. I just dont want to pay a transfer fee for a soon to be 33 year old I think this is it right. £2m all in on a 1yr + 1yr option contract if he plays a certain amount of games and it’s not a bad deal….But you just know that we’re firing a 3yr deal his way and a much higher fee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing the one twos, hold ups and runners against Spurs I can see him doing ok.

Sunbury Fox Posted 21 August Share Posted 21 August Every time I think I can possibly get on board with Cooper, and maybe he's not as awful as I think, he goes and does something like this. Grim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALC Fox Posted 21 August Share Posted 21 August In reference to the chat about Cannon, he's shown he can be a good finisher but that's about it. He doesn't do a great deal else and we can't really afford to carry a player like that, especially one who - despite being a talented goalscorer - isn't particularly prolific. Ayew, to be fair to him, isn't prolific at all but he's a facilitator. It's his hard work that has allowed others to shine, namely Zaha, Olise and Eze. Yes he's 33 and not a particularly inspiring signing but could be a decent signing for the squad and free up Buonanotte, Fatawu, Mavididi and Vardy to do their thing. I'm not thrilled by the fee but if he can help the team and give us that bit of guile, resilience and experience then it could be an inspired signing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micky Posted 21 August Share Posted 21 August 1 hour ago, Micky said: As much as you all don't not want to hear it, Ayew will be ideal in our team. He's horrible to play against, runs forever, wins free kicks, holds the ball up and gains yards. We could go out and buy some maverick who can do all the tricks but that's not what we need right now.

Daka's been fairly poor but you do realise he has a far better goals and assists record in the PL than Ayew in minutes/games played? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you'd sooner Daka than Ayew up front for us? Daka is massively out of his depth in the premier league and offers nothing to a team that is going to have to fight and scrap for points. He can't hold the ball up, does not win back possession. He's a dud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree here - daka has been absolutely pathetic - horrible in the championship as well - no way on earth he is a premier league striker for any team - utter tosh - and ayew is not a centre forward - he is left or right which completely negates the stats anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daka is massively out of his depth in the premier league and offers nothing to a team that is going to have to fight and scrap for points. He can't hold the ball up, does not win back possession. He's a dud. I'm extremely confused because it would be Premier League suicide to play Jordan Ayew as a striker. If you do so you sacrifice any notion of scoring goals. It's why he was moved our wide many years ago. Even then you need to ensure there's a steady ability to score goals elsewhere because that's not his game. As you say he is good at winning free kicks and being difficult to get the ball off. My issue with thst role though is where does he fit in? We've signed Reid to be the experienced steady right or left winger. We need a striker who scores goals. We also need another attacking midfielder and I thought that would be a player that's comfortable playing off the left like Bounonanotte is off the right and then we're covered either side in the attacking midfield, inverted winger system. He just doesn't really fit in here and certainly not on a 3 year deal at the fee being quoted. It's rhe closest I've come to crying in quite some time and I've had a pretty torrid year all things considered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think Daka is a great point of comparison for Ayew, as when a ball is knocked up to Daka he usually loses it without any ground gained, but I would be far more comfortable that Ayew would win a foul, and gain us some ground. edit: but he isn’t a striking reinforcement just a generic attacking one. The striking one still has to come. Edited 21 August by Dahnsouff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
