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. It's okay, He's gone to Stoke now.

KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Two years' ago, I think we would've all agreed that he deserved a go in the Premier League. After a couple of injury set backs, he hasn't looked the same. Because I already miss the transfer window thread, look at this obligatory YouTube video of him! Imagine if we had this guy in the team...oh wait... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo_b Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Play Kodjia as a striker and he will score goals, don’t know why he gets such a hard time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Kodjia still holds the title for the most outrageous move I've ever seen in an Obligatory Youtube Video, in one of his that was released around the time he signed for us. Absolutely blitzed an entire team while playing for Angers, and then capped it off with the cheekiest chipped finish. Can't wait to see this madman in the PL. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did great while deputizing for Abraham last season. I swear it's as if the 2016/17 season didn't happen. He literally carried our team that year. He'll have no trouble leading the line as he does for his country. 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only2McInallys Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 He has been given a big vote of confidence by Smith today. I thought when we played WBA in second leg and we were desperate for a goal and Smith left him on the bench I took it that he couldn’t trust him and he would leave in the summer. I think he may be better suited to the Premier league .When he stepped in for Abraham last season I thought he did well .He has shown good attitude since he became second choice CF and I can see him scoring goals this season.

Reivax_Villa Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 He has the ability to play premier league football. He has 5 goals in him this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I hope he can step up, get fully fit and be the player we had first season. Otherwise we could really struggle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmark86 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Always loved this bloke and I'm pretty happy he'll be seeing games for us in the prem. This is your chance Jimmy Danger, prove the doubters wrong! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderball Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 He's done really well for us since he has been here. Like others have said, you watch his YT reel and you would think "what a talent, get him in!". He is more of a natural finisher than Tammy and we may need that. One thing is for certain, we are going to get some spectacular goals this season from him and others, we just have those players now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will relish such opportunity when that time comes, and it will come this season, and he will prove the doubters wrong on here as he has done time and time again.

I think the doubters have legitimate concerns, But I think he will have a decent season.....his style will suit the prem' IMO For me he is capable of quality play and could well be as good as some players we might have brought in......I would like to see how he approaches this season, when he plays.

Agreed. Just needs to be more aware of those around him instead of trying to constantly beat 2-3 players and going for the spectacular even though he has the skill to do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't work as a component of the tactic, but the guy scored 38 goals in 78 starts up until the injury, doing just that. Then last season when we needed him to step up he bagged 3 in 4. If he hadn't turned up like he did in that second half against Rotherham, there's a chance we wouldn't be where we are today. Can he be a better player? Definitely, undeniable. Does it really matter if he is simply the same player he has always been? In my opinion, no. I don't expect him to change much either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIVillan Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 He didn't look too bad playing up front for Ivory Coast. Have a feeling he could be useful next season. Dean Smith has given the vote of right lets see what you can do, so it is now firmly in Kodja's court. The Team that developed at the season last year is totally different to the one he was first choice at the beginning. Tammy was banging the goals in so he didnt get a look in. What ever he is a Villa Player so I will be willing him on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last Minute Equaliser and those of us left in the holte went nuts. My two boys first time in the Holte and the youngest kept saying we should go as others are leaving, I kept saying no we stay until the end you never know what might happen and yesssssssssss.
