Agreed. We missed out on a good signing there. Wasn't he on a free transfer as well? Oh, well, no use crying over spilled milk.

I think he looks quite impressive. I would reserve my judgement on him until the end of the season though. Plenty of players before have started well and then gone missing, Patinkle Cisse to name but one. Here's a hypothetical. Would you rather him or Son or N'Jie? I think it's too early to tell.
Apparently his wage/bonus asks was quite ridiculous ... that's why nobody else went for him.

i thought I read that the total, combined ask was £75k a week?.... Which over a 4 year contract is equivalent to a £6 million transfer fee and £45k a week of wages, whch is still something of a bargain I'd say.

I like the look of Son, but think that Ayew currently looks a lot more accomplished than N'Jie.
It surprised that a bigger club than Swansea didn't come in for him

It was a strange one..... And even stranger was Gignac going to play in Mexico?

That's funny ... thought I was in the Andros Townsend thread.

I think Ayew is certainly further along than Njie, but give Clinton a season and he will start to become dynamite. When he gets the early wide-ball, his ability to beat the man and out in a low, accurate ball has already been proven fantastic.

I think that's fair.

Pretty much how I feel about it at the moment and as for the bolded bit I think Son who is two years younger (then Ayew and proved himself in a stronger Lge ( Germany) then Ayew ( France)) whould get my vote so far, As for N'jie its probably to early to tell as you say.
Good, that's an extra couple of £M in January.

At the start of the summer Ayew and Ings were the two players I most wanted us to sign (both on frees too). I thought with Ayew coming from a Biesla team would be ideal for us.
To be honest though, I'm very happy with what I've seen from Son and Njie, (albeit they cost us £30m more).
I don't think this relates to Townsend though, as all 4 of Son, Njie, Ayew and Ings prefer coming in from the left flank, whereas Townsend (and Lamela) come in from the right.

He's always excellent for England. It's the evidence that he has a psychological problem (especially at WHL cf away), rather than a talent one.
More time and space on the ball at international level which suits his game more

Or (similar logic) because England are a counter attacking team, whereas we are a possession team?
True. There's also the fact that England are so horribly boring that seeing someone beat his man and sprint towards the goal is such a welcome relief that nobody minds when he spazzes the ball into Row Z.

Agreed, and that is why I feel we should sell him in Jan while we can still get a good price for him.
