Nobody is saying we shouldn't have swapped them. The deal was the right thing to do for the short term as it's all about getting promoted. A 19 year Adama was not going to help us achieve that. But in the long term I'm convinced Adama will leave Boro for a very big fee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, except it wasn't a swap, I remember they were 2 separate transfers at separate times but quite close together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Let's not forget Adama wanted to leave - pretty key part of it all! Anyway back on topic it would be massive for Kodjia to get back to match fitness for in time for the end of season run in and possible (fairly likely) play offs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been good to have a buyback. lol If he fulfills the potential he is capable of with his athleticism he could be frightening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As has been pointed out endlessly, the man refused to get kitted up for an Aston Villa game when selected and then demanded a transfer. So whatever he does is a moot point. Anyway, this is the Kodjia thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilS Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Has there been any indication of how far away Kodjia is from being fit enough for a spot on the bench? I have seen various clips and pictures over the last few weeks about ice baths and medicine ball drills, but no idea of how far off he is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season ending in May.. not much time to get back to full fitness. Could make an appearance from the bench if we have play off matches? surely worth a go for 20 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if all goes to plan he might make the bench for the final couple of matches, maybe grabbing the goal to secure auto promotion spot.

theboyangel Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Due to his ‘athleticism’ and minimal footballing brain I imagine traore will be done by his mid-twenties. His body appears way over developed whilst still growing naturally and he’ll suffer injuries and niggles. Its similar to Micah Richards. An impressive physical specimen for his age but lacking in ability once his physicality was shot with injury. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Anyone of you think Traore would actually turn into a good player under Bruce? Traore was extremely selfish and never passed. Pulis is the first manager to actually get Traore to do anything. Kodjia has been extremely selfish under Bruce, and that hasn't changed. We wouldn't get the same Traore we see now. We were 100% correct to get Adomah. If we go up, any future transfer fee for Traore will be irrelevant because we would have achieved our goal with the player with got from that deal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I thought Kodjia was coming back judging by how this thread was getting bumped, and got all excited. Turns out we're just discussing Adama again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
