Just concerned its been a long while since he has played properly. 9 months then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 He clearly has no problem with bone density when he is doing keepy uppies with a medicine ball! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 We've moved on and for the better. Without him we're a much better and more clinical team. He's a dangerous player at this level however he slows down our own attacks and dwells on the ball too much. If we do go up then he has even less of a role to play as I'm not convinced he's Premier League quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack used to slow us down badly with his holding on to the ball but he’s now our key player and drives us on. I feel Kodija can do similar he’d be brilliant if he did the same. Big if though as he’s a lot older but he has only been a striker for a couple of years so is still learning the role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not got the skills of jack though and would lose possession more often than not . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't fair. He was playing in a team we hardly any creativity. A lot of the time he had to do it himself. We are a much better team because we now have better players and better coaching.

I never said we were better without him in it - my point is was in reply to kodjia being able to do similar to jack . they are very different in style and ability , I like kodjia and always have done . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m intrigued to see what Agnew can do with him, but if an offer came in to make our money back for him and we are in the Prem next season then I’d probably sell. You say he had to make things happen on his own (which was a good thing for last season, due to the lack of goal scorers in the team), but even then he was far too selfish for my liking. And you don’t get that amount of chances to waste/be selfish on in the top tier compared to the championship. I think a top 6 Championship team is his level. Realistically though, I expect him to be here next season. And hopefully proving me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newry_Villan Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I don't think I'd start him if he was fit. Remember how frustrating he was just playing for himself? He was selfish and greedy, don't deny it. Don't get me wrong, his style got us the goals and I'm grateful for that but we're now playing as a team and I think he'd struggle to fit in to this team now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Isn't it funny? How Villa players' profiles differ when they're out of the team. 2-3 weeks ago there was much debate around whether or not we should try to reintegrate McCormack into the team. Now we've reached a point where Kodjia is apparently redundant. Really will never figure this forum out, probably what keeps me coming back to be fair. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newry_Villan Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I'm not saying he should be made redundant. I just don't think he should be guaranteed a first team place once fit. It's Hogan's shirt to lose now. But it's all in hindsight anyway as we know he's more or less out for the season. If we get promoted we'll need new strikers anyway. Hogan and Kodj will be out. I don't think they would be Premier League quality. But that's for another topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
