For what ever reason this hasn't worked out, not in the starting 11 and ineffective when he comes on - so on any measure, not missing much if he goes in Jan. Uptick on saved wages and anything we get for him.

lets be honest...ayew is s***, he isnt better than bentekkers at all.

big ben needs starts & proper time on the pitch.

i believe he would have more goals that ayew given the same amount of minutes on the pitch

i am not sure if you have supported the club long enough to remember these guys but he ranks alongside the likes of alan lee / james scowcroft & cameron jerome in the tries hard but doesnt score stakes

you must know that if our corners could beat the 1st man benteke would be a massive threat from them.

Completely untrue. Maybe this was true of Benteke at his best, but right now he has almost no redeeming qualities whatsoever, whereas Ayew has work rate, hold-up play, and has at least scored a few goals this season. Definitely not s*** and definitely not worse than Benteke, who needs to be put out to pasture.

Neither are good enough and whichever plays we will rightly complain unless they turn in good performances coupled with some goals.
Benteke looked good when he came on and would start him next week.

I tend to agree with you, he did look a lot more interested yesterday with an excellent dribble and shot, Ayew is quite adequate for us for where we are at the moment and to judge him over the last few games against top defences (not including West Ham and Arsenal obviously) is very harsh, lets see how many goals he can score over the next four games.
