Ayew's pre-season delayed return 20:48 - Jun 25 with 4376 viewsDavillin

It has been reported that Andre Ayew has been given permission to arrive at pre-season training late because it took him to get things sorted.

For several reasons, I consider this not the best news.

So much for Swansea's much vaunted principle of getting players signed early so they can get in all of pre-season.

That's not news! No worries at all. First game isn't for 6 weeks.

I'd imagine Ash Taylor & Jazz will be given an extra week or 2 due to the fact they were on international duty till 12th June

Meh. Worry if he isn't in pre season training by the time we hit Germany.

Sports teams have pre-season training for a reason. Nothing that is done during that period -- even the first hour of the first day -- is without value, otherwise the coaching staff wouldn't do it.

Monk's stated reason for having everybody there from day one is so that no-one starts from behind the others.

I'll stop there.

Nice one Groo! Post of the day.

Anyway different clubs start their pre-season training at different times, for example I don't think that Arsenal begin theirs until two or three weeks after Swansea so I don't see much problem in some players coming back later. It's not a rigid schedule.

I understand your point about everyone starting together for the sake of team unity but it's not a major setback if it doesn't always happen.

If I remember correctly didn't Ki also have extended leave At the start of last pre season and it didn't do him any harm. Like others have said. Some will probably get more time off because of the internationals they had to play. So I don't see this as a bad thing. There's still a lot of pre season left after he comes and I don't think he will miss any games.

But Garry's the one who's given him the extra time. So it must be ok with him.

It makes no difference at all, Premier players are literally playing the whole year, the days of running up and down sand dunes and across country are long gone

You give it out, you take it back it`s all part of the game

Not necessarily so. Condemned men still walk to the place of their execution and cooperate with the executioner[s].

We don't know what went into the process of giving him the extra time, which makes your observation at least potentially less valid.

Training starts Sunday and talks are due on Jul 1st I believe.
He should therefore be here for training for 3 days prior to his meeting with Huw. I wonder if it will be that simple though.......

While I agree it's important, I don't think it's the same as the NFL for example, where players have to learn new systems and playbooks.

How many training sessions did Cork have before playing for example? Within a few weeks it was like he'd been playing there for years.

You know, Hobbes, some days even my lucky rocket ship underpants don't help.

Two good points, JS, but I am still disconcerted.

Isn't he (technically) still on loan with Napoli until July 1?

Well Ayew was in one of the pictures for pre season training today so I guess that is incorrect. And he didn't have a delay.

So it wasn't something to worry about after all. There's a surprise.

Let me know if he's there continuously now, or takes a few days off this week. I truly hope it's the former and want him to be a resounding success for Swansea.

p.s. I refuse to be drawn into an argument on this, and plead that this thread was based on a report in the African media. [Not facebook, by the way.]
