timnufc22 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Granted the whole Ashley circus was so uninspiring, but for me it felt like that zip and infectious enthusiasm in his play, which was a big part of his quality when he first arrived, had waned after a few years.

Joe1984 Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 For the money we spent on him, we got a sound return. Both on the pitch and when we sold him. I like Perez and wish him well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Funny how systems can just click under quality managers. Take the similar sort of game spell under Keegan where we only had 3 players with any legs (Enrique, Beye & Martins), a midfield of Geremi, Butt and Barton with Owen just off Viduka and Martins. On paper and going by how those players were going, nothing should have worked, but it was a thing of beauty. The Spurs 4-1 away is still the greatest away performance I've seen, should have been about 12. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycap Posted April 22, 2024 Share Posted April 22, 2024 I think Leicester criminally underused him under rogers. When he did play he was played all over the shop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted April 22, 2024 Share Posted April 22, 2024 always will be fond of ayoze as he was my 16 year old lad's first toon hero. when he first started playing kids footie, he would pull his socks up over his knees just like ayoze. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a big fee he went for, i don’t think he was ever in that category, although he certainly had his attributes. What worked for him here was the low expectations based on arriving for 1.5m or whatever that silly fee was. He always over delivered for us based on that.

Tiresias Posted April 30, 2024 Share Posted April 30, 2024 Still think of him fondly, I think best playing just off a big target man like Rondon. Was wasted at Leicester shoved out on wing, he did not have pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroblack Posted April 30, 2024 Share Posted April 30, 2024 Only been to one game at SJP in my life but there was a moment where Ayoze received the ball in the center circle and turned the defender. Never heard a louder roar in my life. The team was kind of built around him during his last two years. Going to Leicester was a mistake from a footballing POV.
