I heard he would cost £4m bargain for a squad player imho

He did OK yesterday against a pretty poor side but overall as has been noted he hasn’t done much; there are hundreds of players who could equal his contribution.
Would he get into the teams we look at as mid / upper mid-table rivals?

Even from a squad player point of view and even at 4m I would like to see the money spent elsewhere. A lower league player or youngster with potential. He offers absolutely no threat to the opposition, goalscoring wise. Yes he ' does a job' but 7 seasons in we should be looking at a better standard of player imo.

I see no reason to keep Ayew at all. He has been a waste of kit.
There must be modest priced players out there better than him.

What is the point in signing a striker who can't score even if it is only as back up? People say he is more of a winger, but his passing is poor and he's not very strong on the ball. You can't fault his effort, but he is not good enough for us. Given how much space our forwards had on Saturday I thought he was poor aside from the assist (which had an air of fortune). Let's just have Sorloth as backup if Ayew is the best we can come up with. At least we could use the money elsewhere then.

Would rather have Ayew than Sorloth, it I have to have one, but its like asking if you prefer tooth or ear ache
