Ayew is so poor it's almost funny. How he scored 11 goals last season is beyond me but I guess that's why we got him on loan and that is understandable. Thank f*** we didn't buy him and hopefully we can send him back to Wales in January...if he can find it..

Agreed, on paper Ings would have been a massive risk. 20m for an inconsistant injury prone striker? The same assessment was made about Benteke and plenty are saying that we shouldnt have done that either...

Against Leicester he failed again with bringing the team together for the attacking role he had been given and it just became harder for him during the second half when Leicester made the most of his positioning, he is a good player I feel but with the ball to his feet with close support and not with the ball bouncing everywhere with wide gaping support and because we have no Benteke threat (even when he is playing) opposing defenders can concentrate more on our other attacking players including said Ayew and that is why he looks even more lost.
We are now also worryingly becoming slower and slower in getting the ball and players forward due to this situation.
January cannot come quick enough.

And both of his previous Premier League clubs (Villa and Swansea) were relegated, so he’s hardly what you could call a lucky talisman!

I think its more a case of Parish and his bargain basement deals, Pathetic if you ask me, Should never be anywhere near running a premier club, He has proved his inadequacy over and over again during the past few years, paying over the odds for virtually each player he has brought to the club and inflated wages to suit, Mutch, Ayew to mention a couple

That's correct - thanks goodness Reiderwald also threw a bit of wobbly and refused to sign otherwise we'd be stuck with the lump on contract.
He hasn't looked interested in playing for us from the first minute, even before he got game time - you can be sure that for the first time ever I am actually going to pop open a frosty one and celebrate when we ship him back out.
