Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Another small positive for me is that he plays football with a smile on his face, there hasn't been enough of that around Villa lately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsky_11 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Our strike force's championship record: Kodjia - 0.4 goals per 90mins, 0.1 assists per 90mins (18 goals, 4 assists) Gestede - 0.6 goals per 90mins, 0.2 assists per 90mins (41 goals, 14 assists) McCormack - 0.4 goals per 90mins, 0.2 assists per 90mins (117 goals, 57 assists) Basically, three forwards scoring around 1-in-2 at this level. Not many teams have that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfcwills10 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Old video, but shows some good technique. Look at 3.20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 One of his goals for his old French club where he cuts in from the right and side and then dinks it over the keeper with the outside of his right foot, is one of the best goals I've ever seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very low standard of opposition though in this video. Like league 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 It is always a massive risk signing a player for big money after one breakout season, especially when they are in the latter half of their 20s. On the other hand he is a type of player we lacked, a pacy direct forward is someone we have been crying out for. Lets hope he tears it up for us!

Brumstopdogs Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Surprised we have spent £20m on him though - especially with it rising to £25m based on appearances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it seems a high figure. Problem being is that this is the way football is going (and has been) for a long time. We need to spend and we need to spend on quality. If he scores the goals needed to get us back up then that will be money well spent. Assuming he gets the right chances of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted August 30, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 30, 2016 Had a little wager with a friend. He doesn't think he will get 15 league goals, so I've backed him to do it. No pressure Kodjia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This obviously came pretty close but couldn't get the deal over the line, so we've brought in a replacement from the short-list. I doubt anyone is expecting another striker, world class or not, to come in now. Exactly, he has said all along the World Class player (Hernandez or not) has been a hard negotiating process. That alone means it was never guaranteed and could quite possibly fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Scott Sinclair went for £5m, Ciaran Clark went for £5.1, we get Kodjia for £11m. Same old Villa, having to sell to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we wouldn't go for a world class payer, fail, bring in a Bristol City striker instead and put him on world class wages would we? Or is that we have done?

Pacey, strong, scores goals. 19 Championship goals last season. Get him in and be done with it! Glad that it's confirmed. We needed a player with ambition to get us out of the championship and who can assist. Perfect sort of player we needed. Can assist Ross mccormack and is fast enough to beat the man and finish. Great signing from Di Matteo. He is one hell of a player and is a first team player. This signing could be the thing that gets us out of the championship.

I'm not UNhappy, but I did genuinely get excited at the thought of a world class striker coming in and I did honestly believe he would pull it off. You'd surely agree that it's quite a jump from a wold class striker to Jonathan Kodija. I'm not sure why Abel Hernandez is being mentioned anyway, what has he got to do with the world class striker? Unless he is meant to be world class which if true, is absolutely mental. Anyway, welcome Jonathan. Here's hoping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dounavilla Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Perhaps JK is World class now he's at Villa. Will go on to score a shed load and we get promoted and turn down Man City's bid of 75mil during the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
