osmark86 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Seems he likes to chip the ball over the goalie. Shows he's confident imo, something we need ^^. Thanks for posting the video. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As there doesn't appear to be any PL interest in him and £5million isn't a lot for a striker, we have to keep our feet on the ground a bit. He certainly appears mobile which is what we crave for currently. Who knows, maybe a more well known striker is also being considered as well? There have been suggestions of 2 coming in.

In fact he only tweeted the other day about how we all have to put our faith in the coaching team as they know what they're doing and he's said numerous times it's about getting the right people in, letting them do their job and working together. Not that you care, but I find it hard to respect an opinion not only with little basis but with plenty of evidence to the contrary... Where is the plenty? Because whilst I would admit to not knowing him personally, not sure many of us do, I am basing my opinion on all of his tweets , Amavi staying, Ayew staying, strikers with bullets etc etc etc. Which in my opinion are at best naive and demonstrate a lack of appreciation of the business we are in. That's my basis . Also it has not been unknown for owners totally new to football to come into a club and blur the lines a little . Not saying he is doing it maliciously you know when people form opinions they do so looking for things that back up an opinion which is already forming, so they look for things. Everybody does it. So I do appreciate that others may not have the same opinion, or that they read things differently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of main weakness last year was our inability to create a goal threat and we have done absolutely nothing to change that yet - in fact we could arguably be a bit weaker in that department with Gill going and maybe Sinclair following him out the door. A striker is the priority, but we also need to buy some attacking midfielders who can create and score goals - and possibly an attacking right back. I'm away for the weekend- what happened yesterday please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 If we are serious about signing Kodija we'll have to pay closer to what Bristol value him at which I imagine is considerably more than the £5m we've allegedly offered. Looks Gestede-esque is size and stature but noticeably quicker with better movement on and off the ball. He looks to picks goals off crosses into the box - something we need to address...

I know people will always say that a highlight reel will naturally focus on the good play and not the poor, but he's still got to have the good bits to begin with. Like I said, I've never watched a game with him in, but that video does look promising should he join. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are, intentionally or not, finding the negatives in things. He tweeted about Ayew and Amavi staying. As far as I'm aware, they're currently Villa players. If they leave, sure, I can understand the complaints tweeting about them staying. But while they're still here, he's a man of his word. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair assessment. Personally I'd play Ayew as a second striker off of him, and as you point out, get more creativity in central midfield and width in the side.

I agree - I suppose it also depends on whether we get Morrison in (as highly rumoured) I think Ayew would play wider on the right with Morrison as the '10' and Grealish on the left. Who knows, the three could interchange positions? Whilst that would/should offer more creativity, it wouldn't necessarily mean wider play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Sinclair was on bench last night so doubt it's imminent with no medical etc. 4.5m would be excellent though, would've accepted 3m to get him out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Celtic could do with a centre back or two too. Richards or Lescott; a proper project for Rodgers. Let's hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
