Spot on. He was pants at the start of his time with us, never became exceptional but had some strong games. I have a feeling he can become a little better in his second year and will be good to have around.

It’s 2.5 million quid.

Ffs.

You cannot buy Sorloth for that, even now.

It’s a shrewd signing, there is zero downside and the lad can do a job and is a regular international in a good side.

Get a grip, this is a good signing.

Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.

Well I’d hope they’d be better at 10 times the price.

A lot, but we’re not going to down because we signed Ayew for £2.5m - we’re going to go down if we fail to address the glaring holes in our squad, but looking at this piece of business in isolation it is not bad.

As with any transaction it’s about return on investment - as I said above, if we get 5 goals out of Ayew for £2.5m, it’s a bargain.

We’ve spent the best part of £50m on Wickham, Sorloth and Benteke, none of whom I particularly fancy to outscore Ayew next year. That is our problem, not picking up a squad player on the cheap.

The fact he has hit 7 Prem goals in 2 of the last 5 years. Players have good and bad seasons.

If Ayew turns out to be our only signing then, yes, we will be entitled to feel annoyed, upset, worried or whatever.

However, if we bring in a few more decent signings then the Ayew deal wouldn't be that bad. He is quite a skillful player with good control but so far hasn't managed to apply that to any great extent in his game time with us. That goal he got away at Wolves last season was superbly taken so hopefully there is more of that to come.
