CONFIRMED Jordan Ayew

[wardonia_blade]

Had a quick look and that answer is no.

He signed the season we came down for Leicester. Whilst Cannon went on loan to Stoke. We then signed Cannon in Jan.

That season in the Prem when Leicester went down he scored 5 in 30 matches.
Look at his overall goalscoring output and its not super high. But I suppose you have to bear in mind that until last season he's had 10 seasons in the Prem. Playing for sides who are usually fighting off relegation (Palace).

From memory he's the sort of player who will score a worldie but miss a sitter. But on his day can cause problems for oppositions.
Off his day he can look dreadful, like alot of players.

And at Leicester he had a midfield of Tielemans, Harvey Barnes and Maddison.

A bir

Just what we need

Just what we need

A birthday party?

 

[SB_90]

im looking forward to him being add to list, it now being 3 of the last 28 signings being poor

 

[Pintor75]

Brought in as cover for Choudhury

 

[SW12 to S12 to S18]

We need attacking players, so let's see.

No point writing him off before he has kicked a ball for us.

Have you seen him play?

 

[Stretch]

Have you seen him play?

Yes, but I have seen a few other players perform badly elsewhere and come good for us.

I am just trying to keep an open mind, but I realise the chances of him suddenly becoming a much better player are slim.

 

[Sithblade]

This is just playing out like the post Burnley play off final defeat in in 2009, replace it with Sunderland and the sell off our decent players, too many loan signings and the desperate signing of any out of contract player. Henri Camara last time though he did score occasionally, we all know where we ended up a couple of years later.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Wilder has lost his marbles if he prefers Ayew to Ito.

 

[Davalon]

I'm more shocked that people are shocked at our recruitment

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

Wilder has lost his marbles if he prefers Ayew to Ito.

Blackburn getting Ito as well,

 

[sportsmanblade]

its a sign of things to come, i've defended wilder but cant defend him now, he's had us on eya
signing players from relegated clubs is a sign of things to come im afraid.

2 months to get him up to speed sketch, if the results are positive the fans will well and truly turn

 

[Bramhall Lane blade]

Another CW has been. Piss take

 

[Æthelstan]

Fits in with our transfer policy that at least 50% of our players must have come from a team starting with the letter L

Plus recently relegated

 

[Davalon]

This wreaks of the Mickey Adams season

Yeah I'm starting to get a whiff of that too

 

[JohnDenver]

One of these players is Tom Cannon's 25/26 season, the other is Jordan Ayew's 25/26 season...

Spoiler: for anyone somehow oblivious to where I'm going with this

Ayew on the left, Cannon on the right. As long as Ayew's not a shell and we're not paying him masses then I don't see much harm in this in a "just help us not get relegated" way

Next up, please could you put my 5-a-side stats next to Tom Cannon’s numbers. I need cheering up too.

 

[Northernsoulblade]

Cannon & Ayew up front tonight will muller them

Fooook that was a scary dream

 

[CPB]

McGoldrick and Ayew aren't remotely similar cases

They are in the case of fans felt underwhelmed at signing them.

Ayew won't be the new McGoldrick I'm sure of it. But what I'm saying is lets see how he gets on.

Many also wrote off say L.Clarke and Madine and they contributed too.

 

[S64 Blade]

We are going to end up without any permanent players soon.

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

 

[Macfarlane21]

"TURNS 35 ON FRIDAY"

 

[CPB]

And at Leicester he had a midfield of Tielemans, Harvey Barnes and Maddison.

They had all left. We are talking 2 seasons ago.

 

[CoatesyBlade]

I’m indifferent to this signing (hopefully he can add something to the team) but what I’m increasingly frustrated about is the whole approach to this window. Looking at the players that have been available on frees and loans we should’ve been all over this from last Jan! In fact moving forward I believe this should be our mantra from now on. Target the players whose contracts are ending and save what little money we have for signing young players with potential. Pick up your COH’s on free’s, sign your Lankshear’s and One’s for modest fees. And yes, let’s look abroad for gems! A lot of people have mentioned Ito… I don’t know a great deal about him if I’m honest but his numbers do look good, it’s preferable to signing a 35yr old Ayew surely?

 

[Booker4]

It's not exciting. It's short term.

We're highly unlikely to be able to sign the quality we want/Wilder wants on this year's budget. We've missed out on many players according to Wilder so now we're desperate for the best of what's left.

The sooner fans realise that this season is a reset the better. I'd take 4th bottom now quite frankly. Only three teams go up though and they'll be a lot of teams in a more similar situation to us next summer.

 

[HAP]

Worse than any Selles signing if no one's said that already. Mind boggles, would 1000% rather try Ukaki and Sidibe over that crap

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Another CW has been. Piss take

This is another factor to consider

If this signing doesn't work out well, Wilder will cement his image as a past it manager who signs past it players

It's a big gamble for him in this way

 

[BangorBlade]

Ffs SUFC get a grip !!! is CoCo the clown still in charge of recruitment, better of sticking with Ukaki.

 

[jimmymuir]

We've got a fetish for Leicester rejects - Choudhury, Thomas, Cannon, Souttar (Was v good with us), and now this guy.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Where do we plan on playing him? Shoe horning him on the left wing?

Got to get fit first. Then match fit…….

 

[Sean Thornton]

This is another factor to consider

If this signing doesn't work out well, Wilder will cement his image as a past it manager who signs past it players

It's a big gamble for him in this way

He’s already covered his back with that one.

 

[S8 Meersbrook Blade]

I thought signing BBD was bad!! If this comes off, I think I'm done. Why would any manager want this guy, really? Enlighten me please

 

[54yrblade]

Has Ayew signed then?
