Following reports that Southampton are after Jordan Ayew, Saints fans have taken to Twitter to voice their despair and concerns with the direction of the board in the transfer market.

And understandably so, seeing as Southampton have flirted with relegation in the previous two seasons and much of that is due to a lack of goalscoring prowess.

Shane Long, Danny Ings and Charlie Austin have not been noted for their ability to find the net regularly recently, and their fortunes going forward are unlikely to change with the signing of Ayew.

The Ghanaian scored just two goals last season in a loan spell at Crystal Palace, one of which came against Grimsby in the FA Cup. It is not exactly a signing that inspires optimism amongst a fanbase that is desperate for signs of ambition, and a return to the top half of the Premier League which they enjoyed just two years ago.

Worse still, Ayew has now underperformed at three different clubs in the Premier League: Aston Villa, Swansea and Crystal Palace. That fact is not lost on Saints fans, who unanimously disapprove of the targeting of Ayew.
