villa82 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Are we sure that Kodjia is in the squad? We brought in Gabban in january and Ross back. It is a maximum of players we can have in the squad, plus youngesters.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had a fully fit kodjia i'd say promotion was guaranteed. As others have said, the idea he couldn't do the same, if not more than hogan is laughable. It's deeper than that, absolutely no one is debating what a talented player Kodjia is. At the level we aspire to be, it's about more than talent though. Top managers like Mourinho probably wouldn't put up with some of the nonsense he does. Better players than him have been dropped from starting line ups because they weren't putting in the work or adapting to TEAM philosophies.

Our "team philosophy" has only been visible for a couple months. If there was such a thing before, no-one was following it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted February 20, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 20, 2018 (edited) I don’t think we know for definite how well a fully fit and firing Kodija would work in this team now. I just know I’d feel a lot more confident in achieving second spot if I knew he was able to feature in the final run in.

We had to sign Grabban in Jan as we only really had Hogan & Davis as strikers for the most part of this season so far. Gabby is not really factored and McCormack is a different issue (and debated wether he will play for us again is still an unknown), so until Kodjia was back fit.. that would have been gambling on 3/4 months from Jan having only 2 real effective strikers if you will like we've had most of this season. Wouldn't have been ideal for an automatic promotion charge. Hope it clears up any confusion. Edited February 20, 2018 by AvfcRigo82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole team philosophy while he was fit was 'please kodjia do something because no one else will' He hasn't really had the opportunity to get into the new team and approach. From what i've seen of him and the other strikers we have i fully believe we would be much better with him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a huge bonus if we could have him back in April even if it means taking a risk on him . the rewards are huge. slim chance though I guess . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn1982 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 There isn’t a squad limit in the Championship Once you have registered them they are yours. In the PL there’s a limit of 25 so they get redone after the transfer window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted March 2, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 2, 2018 If I was a betting man I would bet he won't ever come back as good as he was. 2 serious injuries in a row. Not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion he wasn't Daniel Sturbridge style 'it's all about me' selfish. It was more 'I believe in my own ability for the team' selfish. He made a lot of chances for people and worked quite hard most games. He even gave up his first hatrick to let a striker get his first goal. This season he just wasn't fit so hard to judge him.

There's nothing to suggest we couldn't have both. If I remember correctly the 2 deals were a couple of weeks apart so we didn't have to sell him as part of any Adomah deal. They were 2 separate transfers. Bruce said last week that he doesnt expect Kodjia back this season despite a video of him kicking a ball around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
