Good signing if intended as a squad player, hopefully bigger signings still to come though.
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold... |

Words cannot do justice to how angry I feel about this. What the hell are the club playing at? I thought we couldn't afford to sign players because our wages are too high so what do we do - we sign a player from Swansea where his wages were described as 'crippling'? I wouldn't mind if it was someone decent - yet this is a player who started 14 PL games for us and came on as sub in 6 and scored the grand total of 1 goal (and that was offside). We already have ssveral non-scoring strikers. Instead of someone we know is no good, why not take a risk on Maupay or Roofe or another Championship striker who actually knows how to score a goal and who won't want crazy wages? The sooner Hodgson, Freedman, Parish and co depart, the better, as we will go down with this squad.

What a shocker. Something ain't right behind the scenes. He was terrible last last season. Unbelievable that we've signed him on a permanent. Someone said he loves Palace. I love Palace too but that doesn't mean I should be on the pitch.

I’m not knocking this signing because it is essential to have backup that accepts backup as well. But I got that sinking feeling after opening the club email just now about ‘Ghanaian International Joins On Three-Year Deal’, only to find it’s Jordan Ayew who we knew about werk(s) ago. When do we get the super signing filmed on top of the Soho offices? Lol.

I think JA is a pragmatic acquisition for a squad that obviously needs some experienced strength in depth.

Get a grip.

Excellent. Now we a player who can make the rest of the team look good. Seriously, this is a symptom of our current state. He is cheap, alive and desperate and that is why we signed him.

For £2.5m is a no brainer, as he was here last season and obviously fits in.
