How many people here would have a bad attitude if they weren't released by their employer if a better job, with a better salary, with more prestige, in a better country (let's be honest!) and in one of the biggest and best cities in the world was offered to them?

Quick question, how many have watched him consistently? And not just basing it on few appearances against us and England

Does anyone know or have an idea about how good he actually is? Doesnt matter anyway. We're not signing him or anyone for that matter. No one else is leaving and no one is coming.

Would still prefer Andre Ayew. Think he's the type of signing you should make in January. Konoplyanka's likely going to need some time to settle, Ayew, on the other hand comes from a side that utilizes tactics similar to Poch's and he implements those tactics on the LW very well.

I think Ayew may be one of the targets who might come now were we to move out some, as per Trix' ITK over the last week or so. Just my best guess on the matter.

From what I can understand, he is like a fancy, foreign version of Towsend, a tad more arrogant and with a wee bit better shot accuracy.

I sort of have the impression that Kono is a backup option....where we have others in mind to fill the slot he would but if those fall through (for one reason or another) then we would look to Kono (especially if he is free in the summer)....there may be interest there, but it doesn't feel like he is the #1 option for us....if he was we would either be buying now or at least trying for the pre-contract agreement.

I think Ayew may fall into the same category.....

Part exchange for Capoue. Sell Lennon to make up cash. Sorted lol.

In all seriousness though, Marseille are in a title race. They wouldnt sell now and he himself will surely want to see out this season to see what happens.

Ignoring the fact that he isn't even russian I never understand why people do this? You never get people saying we shouldn't sign an english player because of a previous english player. They are treated like individuals as they should be.


Simon Davies vs Gareth Bale.

"never sign a welsh winger". hahaha

What a fucking shame if we don't sign him. Would make us so much better, just a really good player and way too cheap.

In normal situations I agree and I think that would be the case, but Ayew specifically hired a new agent this season to reel him a move to a "big club" as soon as January. So while it's true Marseille would likely not be keen to see him go as of now, I don't think it beyond reason he may be open to the idea of moving in January rather than in the summer.
