It isn't an incredible deal in full context. You've certainly got a outlandish fee, but lost an iconic figurehead of your team a few weeks into an already choppy season. The timing makes it a bad deal imo.
Not much that £6m can do to help right now, is there?
No he wasn't. He had scored 1 goal since Febuary.
Of course, it doesn't help us till January till we can go and get someone else but now we are almost certainly going to recoup all of the £13m we paid for him and possibly even make a profit on him. Quinn has took Al Ain's eyes out.
An iconic figurehead who was well off form.
Sure you were one of those chaps who considered him the second coming of Phillips at some point?
Gyan had decent stats, 10 goals from 31 appearances is not bad in PL terms but was never going to be that regular goalscorer we needed. It's also now obvious that we have been trying to offload him all summer and maybe those newspaper reports of us sending an email to clubs advertising Gyan for sale were true aswell.
Nice.
