No mention of Ayew yet on West Ham or BBC websites. What kind of tin pot outfit are we when press releases come from the owners son Twitter account! ;doh
To poach one of the best players from another club, a club many would say are on a par with us, and be able to attract him and sign him, is a great sign.
Have a feeling he is going to be a striker, not a winger.
Very good player. Brings qualities we dont have. Abit too much money, but good to see they've back Slaven. Interesting to see how he fits in. ;thumbsup

Will be interesting to see how our attacking players fit together. I read he was most effective for Olympique Marseille as the left-sided one of the forward 3, but that is where Payet has mainly played for us. Of course they did combine well in some games for Marseille. But the good thing is, for me, that Ayew seems to be left-footed, which provides us nice options if we want to play Payet and Ayew either side of AC, Sakho or another striker in our front 3. He was no. 10 at OM and now no. 20 at WHU, so I guess he considers himself a no. 10. Would be good to see him up front with AC some times in a 4-4-2, whether with wingers or diamond. In fact, I'd love to see

@AyewAndre is now a West Ham player, he has signed for £20.5m!!
( ;wahoo )
£20.5 million would be a club record fee.

Only announcing two signings in one day.
Last season they managed four in a day
Come on Dave's you're a disgrace, pull your fingers out
I'm going to stay awake in the hope that you announce Bacca and a right back before the night is done
"... Who plays as a forward for premier league club West Ham United 'COYI....."
;doh
Two quality signings
Well done

We on the other hand...
Remind me who has got Dimi??
Swansea were flirting with relegation for the first half of last season.
We got one of a smaller clubs better players, and he does improve us for sure, because it is a step up.
;quaver Payet to the left of me, Tore to the right, here I am
Stuck in the middle Ayew ;quaver
Does that make him like Bacca? ;hmm
;wink
