I'm convinced if he played up top last season for us for as many games as Tammy did he would have got 20 plus goals.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 (edited) Well, I have said in the past that I am supremely confident that Kodjia will be the exact same mercurial striker in he Premier League as he was the Championship, warts and all. I think his particular skill set is adaptive to almost any league. There will be moments of brilliance, moments of madness, sharp in the box and blunt off the ball. I'd have liked an upgrade as our backup, but then if you had told me that upgrade was an, I dunno, Hungarian striker with an 11 in 24 record at international level and a virtually 1 in 2 record in the Dutch league I'd have been all over it. New toy syndrome and all that. Go shock a few Jimmy. Good lad. Edited August 8, 2019 by dont_do_it_doug. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Not interested in replacing this guy just yet. Definitely capable of surprising some defences and doing a good job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never has a man sported a barnet more fitting for their personality. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Too lazy, selfish and inconsistent to do much at this level. Also since his injury I'm sure whatever pace he had is gone so that's another negative. Not good that he's our backup striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfc1982am Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I like Kodjia and always thought he could score goals in any division. I'd liked us to have got in another CF but trust that both him and Wes will do well. Kodjia when all said and done has a great goals to games ratio. I think he will love playing n the Prem and will be the player we hoped we'd bring in as Wesleys back up. I'm also pleased for him as he has done more than enough to merit this opportunity over the last 3 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has the skill set, just hope he has the drive to do well.....It could be his year,after the Nations Cup, to whet his appetite.

Condimentalist Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I've got no issues if Kodjia has to cover a few games over the next few months. He's a good player. I'm more concerned about him and Wes BOTH being injured. Davis is OK but we could do with another ideally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well as being one of the few in the team that occasionally has a bit of magic in his boots, he looks like a right laugh around the place. All the random clips of him being a total spanner just seem to add to the squad harmony. Maybe. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KMitch Posted August 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2019 Let's be honest, we'd be creaming in our pants right now if we signed someone this summer with this kind of highlight reel. Not writing Kodj off. He's going to have a good season for us. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
