For all his goals last season his inability to pass the ball would scare the sh#t out of scouts from the top teams. A more "team player" attitude could transform him from a good championship player to a very good PL player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted September 27, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted September 27, 2017 You do have to take into consideration that he now has more options up with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I hope so, but if someone offers 30m i think we would sell him . lets hope it wont be until the summer (hopefully promoted!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't we turn 25m down for Amavi? I think we'd tell them where to go to be honest. (The Amavi story may not have been true though, no?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(The Amavi story may not have been true though, no?) Off topic but pretty sure Doc tweeted that £25m figure. Been thinking about it a bit recently because given our FFP position which they knew was only a few months away from causing us issues that was a monumentally stupid decision to turn that down even if he was playing OK at that time. Its so stupid I don't believe that the offer was ever officially made, reckon it was mentioned on a call or just a rumour type thing.

Considering we sold him at cost price in the end. I think bruce woukd have junped at the chance to have that sort of money. If we are challenging by January makes no sense to sell considering we could make 3 times the amount of money being back in premier league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Tony is not stupid, no way he sells Kodjia. It's so evidently clear that Kodjia is the key piece for promotion. Yet again, look at our form this season when Kodjia was out, and now look at our form with him in the team. Tony gets a ridiculous sum of money if we get promoted. That risk is worth way more than any club would offer for Kodjia. I also don't think Kodjia forces a move this season. If we don't get promoted at the end of this season, then yes I could see us cashing in on Kodjia probably because he would want to move up and rightfully so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phumfeinz Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Lol is this the latest made-up crisis? We're doing well at the moment so our best player is leaving in the winter window. I'm starting to think Bruce wasn't far off with the hysteria comment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Just think of it like this, Bolasie went to Everton for £25m. He's faster, I think, but he scored 12 goals in 133 apps for Palace. If we get up, and entertain offers for him, they're going to have to be in the region of £50m just because of his importance to our team, the fact he can play down the middle or wide and he can (and has) scored a hatful in the last 3 seasons. Plus he's coming into his peak at 27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My theory was it was a Chinese club offering silly money, and it was probably a case of Amavi not being remotely interested. Very easy to turn down a £25m offer when you know the player wouldn't go anyway. If the offer was real, then had it come from a premier league club, for example, I guarantee he'd have gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phumfeinz Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 His selfishness is what stops him from hitting that next level, imo. Infuriating. At least he made amends with the penalty though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
