Keep them both and I think we will go up.
Ayew is way above this level.
Borja will score plenty.
Behind them we have a keeper with guts and some very talented young players.
6 million outlay on wages for the 2.
In excess off 120 if we go up.
No brainer for me. |  |

The sale of OMc and DJ will have rectified much of the accounting black hole that existed and the balance sheet will look far less perilous than it did six weeks back.
I think Birch and the Yanks will now be assessing the risk of keeping these two on the books for the next year versus the opportunity of promotion and / or selling either or both of them before the European window closes. Based on the mistakes of the past eighteen months this will be a decision that I don’t expect them to take likely.
Whilst I don’t know the full extent of the finances I can make some assumptions and from there I also fall on the side of keeping them and having a good go at promotion. Both players have the ability and potential to be big players in this league. |  |

Well, we will see very quickly the yanks intention. Fingers crossed, for all their hard work recently thy could easily both go, regardless of what I think of them as people the club needs them. |  |

I have a feeling that if Borja and Ayew are still here at Christmas and if we are top 6 we will not let them go for free. If there was a fee involved it could well be another matter.
Plus there are two massive IF'S in there. |  | | |

Would dearly love them both to stay. but our f*cking owners are only interested in the bottom line.
If they are both here after January I would be amazed. |  | | |

Playing for a move springs to mind, however I’m not gonna fault either of them for effort to fit back in and put in a shift no matter the reason.
Both players best option is to score goals, if they do this then it makes everything better for all concerned, it will make both players salable again and help us to remain safe in this league . |  | | |

Ayew has another season to go after this one so he cannot go for free next summer. | |

Any player at any time can go for free if the club want them out and they want to go. | | | |

Still not convinced Ayew is going to stay. Expect Baston to stay and if Ayew stays wth him, Oli's goal total will be absolutely eclipsed by Baston. | | | |

We need to keep both if we want to challenge this year. Depends how big balls the yanks have. Obviously their wages are an issue, but should, come Xmas, we are in a strong position I think we should stick and not fold. | | | |

At the moment we can’t get anyone to take Ayew off our hands seemingly.
Assuming wages of £80k, that’s £1.5m between now and January.
If he has a good 4.5 months for us then they’ll make that £1.5m back in an increased transfer fee. |  | | |

Agree. But he cost us £18m!! If he proves himself as being committed and valuable, it should take a sensible offer to let him go. | | | |

Borja - You Jack Baston :-)
Saw a stat today showing Ayew wasn't far behind Gylfi on goals & assists per game ... you'd never think it would you.
Today he was miles ahead of the majority of the players and works his socks off. |  |

If both are still here come September and take us to a strong position in terms of promotion by January surely the Yanks will keep them if they want any hope of seeing a return on their investment. However, if they do well enough to attract interest of other clubs but promotion is looking remote by January, they'll be flogged quicker than you can say "Huw Jenkins sold us down the river and called it the next level". | | | |

Really? Some people are in la la land. One decent offer and it’ll be bye bye. The owners won’t want want the money from James and McBurnie to fund the wages of Baston and Ayew.
Christ, its like some kind of parallel universe on here. |  |

Yes goes against your thread which went along the lines of Birch will have failed if he does not find a buyer for Ayew.
After selling the crown jewels.
But surely you could see today that both are very good players at this level. [Post edited 18 Aug 2019 0:25]
