Andre Ayew

[Bladey_blade]

Not sure how reliable

 

[AdamSufc1997]

Too old now

 

[brownblade]

Always been quite underrated I believe. But I've not seen him play for a few years. He's certainly no spring chicken. Did he do anything last season?

 

[Stretch]

I wouldn't mind this, if wages aren't too ridiculous. Could be some useful experience for the matchday squad.

McGoldrick Mk. 2 hopefully

Stop talking sense

Do you ever like any of the players linked with us?

 

[ThatJa]

I'd take him on a 1 year deal.

 

[SUFCinks]

Doubt this one. Would have been on decent wages in the middle east and Forrest. Not sure he really has anything that would improve us or any qualities we are looking for in a free transfer.

He won’t start and would rather Osula, Traore, Jebbo all got game time when seeing out games.

I personally think he would be a waste of wages.

It feels like a real waste of money tbh. He was a decent Championship forward 3 years ago. I don’t really understand what he’d be here to do

Score goals.

He’s got more end product than all 3. Osula and Traore looked like they’ve won a competition to play in the premier league. We’ve seen the difference with Mcburnie and Archer coming in but injuries are a problem, particularly Mcburnie who can only play about 6 games in a row.

 

[Carlton Blade]

Score goals.

But he won’t do that. 3 in his last 30 in the PL 4 and 5 seasons ago. Disaster at Forest last season. Couldn’t get a contract in the summer

 

[Pintor75]

Will he be off to African nations cup though, i.e.missing in January

 

[crazyblade1889]

But he won’t do that.

He’s done it plenty. His goal scoring record is pretty decent.

No, it’s not. He was a decent Championship forward 3 years ago. Since then he’s semi retired to the Middle East and been a disaster at Forest

He's an attacking midfielder

He scored 0 goals for forrest at this level in 13 appearances. He's past it.

Andre ayew is not the answer to any question apart from just having a body up front.

Would be a pointless waste of wages that could be used for other potential players in jan.

He just had 1 start for Forest with 300 minutes. Not enough time to judge.

Ok let’s stick with Traore running about like an absolute sausage doing fuck all then! He’ll save us from relegation when Mcburnie is crocked in 4 games time I’m sure. At least Ayew would be on a free. We paid millions for Traore.

If we are interested and it's a big if
Then the coaching staff at the lane obviously don't agree with you and see something
Personally think he could be a good akpom type to play alongside archer when mcburnie isn't fit

He couldn’t get on the pitch. He’s barely played a serious game of football since 20/21 and hasn’t played properly in a top division since 18/19 (5 in 22 for Fenerbache)

He’s not going to help at all

Well said. What are we going to do when Mcburnie gets injured again? We have no one who can lead the line. Archer isn’t that type of striker

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Maybe we should have just signed someone suitable while the window was still open

I just don’t see how he aligns with anything the club wants. I’m not at all convinced he has a goal threat at this level and stats back that up. Therefore how can he be seen as an improvement on what we have.

Will have to agree to disagree on this. Of all the free agents available i think he’s near bottom of the pile. Time will tell if there is any truth in it or if it’s just a click bait headline.

I'm not really trying to make a case for it and I've never really rated him but we do have room for an attacking midfielder and most free transfers aren't the pick of European elite pro footballers funnily enough

If mcburnie gets injured and he seems to last about two weeks on average then its archer and traore or osula or on his own

Fair point, but i just think he’s past it. I agree that we need cover up front in either the AM or ST role and would like us to recruit there still as i don’t believe we have replaced Ndiayes skill, flair, link and hold up play. I just don’t think Ayew is good enough. Signing him would hinder us getting someone better in long-term. There are a quite a few players of better quality who can play in that role or would easily adapt (AM).
Hazard - out of reach
Lingeard - wouldn’t want
Pereyra
Idrissi
El ghazzi
Bencharki
Jovic
Soriano
Coulibaly
Townsend - Depending on injury

To think we’ve gone from losing Ndiaye.
To almost securing tillman, then almost securing Akpom, then ending up with Ayew. Nasty.

Needing an effective PL forward doesn't mean you have to sign an ineffective one just to fill a shirt.

What other options are available? If Ayew comes in it will be to play a limited role giving us some much needed experience at the top end of the pitch late in games. Not sure why Sharp couldn't have done this, but that's water under the bridge.
