Villastine Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Can't wait to see him go this season. Finally back to full fitness, surrounded by better players. Could really go out and tear up a few premier league defences when he's get his chance. UTV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderball Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 He’s our best penalty taker thats for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 He's not going to 'tear up' anything but he will be a relatively competent back up striker if/ when called upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if he starts today. If not today I can see him getting a start a few games in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's third choice at the moment and will mostly be used as an option off the bench this season. No chance we will leave our record signing out of the team today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had more time to train and settle. He'd be crazy not to play one of them at DM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His ability to never release the ball quick enough. His insistance of trying some fancy bullshit and losing possession. Take your pick. Yet he’s had a very very good record for us. Like I said, he’s far from perfect. My point was why do portions of the fan base seemingly dislike him so much when other players get away with murder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfc1982am Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I think Smith has already said he sees Kodjia as more suited to the PL than the Championship. Not sure I totally agree as Kodjia smashed it the season before last. What it does mean though is that Smith sees him as good enough to be in this years squad. I agree with him and don't see any reason why he can't bang as many goals in(given game time) as any other member of the squad. He's more than capable.

When negative views take priority over positive views and vice versa, it becomes selective. Fans cut slack for some players in certain things and not for others.....I guess we all have our moments.
