CONFIRMED Jordan Ayew

[Lord Eddard Muir]

You're right, but he will be by the time he plays for us.

 

[Rodley]

The summer after next could be a huge shift. Check out all the players whose deals run out.

And the manager. Hopefully the ownership situation is resolved as well.

 

[Bladesman]

Leicester season ticket holder sat opposite me says he us fucking terrible. A striker that doesn't shoot.

Sounds about right as I am sure he and his brother started out as wingers.

 

[norfolkblade]

Might as well have kept Danny Ings on

 

[Beans]

I had to chuckle that Cannon scores highest for being dispossessed.

Just to be clear this means he gets dispossessed at a much lower rate than most other forwards in the Championship. Ayew is actually one of the worst (unintentionally I cropped that off those screenshots).



Then you realise the reason Cannon doesn't lose the ball much is because he never bloody has it.

 

[Thrice]

Also, need to shift a player out of the squad that CW inherited...

“We have to move one of the players out,” he said. “It’s becoming a problem because he’s at the moment part of the 25-man squad that we’ve inherited.”

Zatterstrom is pretty much the only player left Wilder "inherited". Can't believe he's still using that as an excuse. This is his squad, his players.

 

[GrunkyPeep]

It’ll be one of Zatterstrom or Grbic going out of the 25 man squad. I thought Grbic had already gone and Zatterstrom to Crakovia had been sorted.

Zatterstorm likely going out anyway but counts as an u21 player so we don't actually need to get him out for squad reasons

 

[Balham]

It’ll be one of Zatterstrom or Grbic going out of the 25 man squad. I thought Grbic had already gone and Zatterstrom to Crakovia had been sorted.

Grbic has gone. The one they're trying to shift is Ukaki; Zätterström doesn't count as he was 20 on January 1st. I have to confess that I didn't realise that we were forced to name any player in the squad rather than leaving spaces.

The 25-player squad below is colour-coded (apologies to those with green/red colour-blindness) as follows: Wilder signings (14+1 U21), Sélles signings (4+1), academy products (5+3), Heckingbottom signings (1); loan signings indicated with an asterisk

GK (2): Cooper, Davies
DF (8): Doherty, McCallum, Tanganga, Kitching*, Burrows, McGuinness, Norrington-Davies, Baptiste, Seriki
MF (10): Arblaster, Rothwell, Choudhury, Donovan*, Shackleton, Chong, Brereton Diaz*, Phillips*, Peck, Riedewald, Ukaki
FW (3): Cannon, Campbell, Bamford

U21 (4): Zätterström, Sasnauskas (injured?), Oné, Betts

Thanks to GrunkyPeep for the info which allowed me to correct the original squad list.

 

[Mendi]

He will be a good signing

 

[Zeblades34]

What we have to look forward to

The 25-player squad...I can only get to 24?
GK (2): Cooper, Davies
DF (8): Doherty, McCallum, Tanganga, Kitching, Burrows, McGuinness, Norrington-Davies, Baptiste, Seriki
MF (10): Arblaster, Rothwell, Choudhury, Shackleton, Chong, Brereton Diaz, Phillips, Peck, Riedewald, Ukaki
FW (3): Cannon, Campbell, Bamford

U21 (5): Donovan, Zätterström, Sasnauskas (injured?), Oné, Betts,

All loan players have to be included so the 25th is Donovan

 

[Broomhall Blade]

If he signs he may suprise people, add something different to the forward line, score the odd goal and play well, you never know.

Chris how far is Oné off from being avaliable ?

You don’t have to, it’s a narrative being put out to excuse somebody making a cock up of the submission,

 

[Gee]

Anyone else think that Wilder is trying to get the sack to get another payoff?

It’s as if he is getting his revenge for being sacked. Destroy the team and the owners and then walk away. The man holds a grudge……..

 

[Balham]

You don’t have to, it’s a narrative being put out to excuse somebody making a cock up of the submission,

Colour me shocked.

 

[Speedracer]

Very underwhelming if he comes, a million miles away from the type of player we should be signing, although we are not an attractive option for players at the moment.

My one crumb of comfort is that one thing Ayew is good at is playing with his back to goal and holding it up to give time for the midfield to get forward & support. However, the last thing we need is another non scoring forward.

Other than Bamford we have no players that can do that. Both Cannon and Campbell have the first touch of a toddler and the control of a blithering idiot.

We're plumbing new depths of ridiculousness here...(and I don't mean Wilder)

 

[derfblade.3]

I like Jordan.

 

[Kenilworth]

I like Jordan.

Which one?

 

[Ron_Justice]

We must be paying Ayew peanuts. Can't see any reason why he's favoured over Ito, other than costs. Ito, while unproven here, is younger, has more future upside and will likely offer many more minutes.

 

[Æthelstan]

So based on his record, relegation is basically written in the stars.

 

[derfblade.3]

Which one?

This one!

 

[VictoryBlade]

What a terrible signing, Wilder has completely lost it!

 

[Champagneblade]

Leicester season ticket holder sat opposite me says he is fucking terrible. A striker that doesn't shoot.

Takes over thst quality nicely from O’Hare then!

Anyway, I thought Chris doesn’t sign forrins?!

 

[ShockingBadBuy]

Coops/Sam McC hoofs the ball at Ayew, Ayew holds it up, slips it off to Bamford/Cannon, Bamford/Cannon shoots and scores. Pattern of play sorted.

Like Onan The Barbarian Neil Shipperley, this signing will transform our season.

YHIHF.

 

[Barney Rubble]

You don’t have to, it’s a narrative being put out to excuse somebody making a cock up of the submission,

Indeed. When I looked at the current Burnley squad on Transfer Market they already had more than 25 players who would be classed as seniors even before they signed Vardy. They will have just left a slot in their list of 25 open for if they signed him.

 

[S64 Blade]

We must be paying Ayew peanuts. Can't see any reason why he's favoured over Ito, other than costs. Ito, while unproven here, is younger, has more future upside and will likely offer many more minutes.

You’re assuming the club acts in a rational, professional manner.

 

[SUFC Guy]

If he signs he may suprise people, add something different to the forward line, score the odd goal and play well, you never know.

Wishing you all the very best at the Lane Jordan

 

[Chezzy Blades]

It’ll be one of Zatterstrom or Grbic going out of the 25 man squad. I thought Grbic had already gone and Zatterstrom to Crakovia had been sorted.

Grbic has gone, he’s in Bulgaria. It was just that understated hardly anyone realised!
