Quarter decent striker, free agent in June.....damn that is so mentally draining!! Don’t tell me you’re one of those people who think you can’t have depression if you’re rich? Kodj has been through a lot with bad injuries derailing what looked like a promissing Maupay-type career. He’s got a lot reasons to be in a bad state of mind. It’s no joke. 6 Link to post Share on other sites
Vive_La_Villa 12,813 Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 Who knows what the situation is. It may will be depression and if so hope he recovers soon. End of the day he is not good enough and needs to be moved on for everybody concerned. Hopefully for him at championship or Ligue 1 level where he can make an impact.

I never had him down as the type to shy away from anything but there was a rumour he refused to take a penalty in the playoff semi VS WBA. Maybe he's struggling to handle the pressure now he's our only striker in a relegation battle? Could be a load of rubbish and may genuinely be ill. Wish him the very best if he does leave, can definitely still offer something. Absolutely no indication of that. It's a quality issue, Kodjia isn't good enough for this level and Smith has never rated him. Link to post Share on other sites

HalfTimePost 965 Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) Any idea what's going on here yet? Unless it's a serious illness (and there's no reason to think that's the case?) surely we have to assume he's in the line up on Saturday now? Doesn't look like anybody else will be in on time. And other than an off-the-cuff remark I've seen nothing on mental health issues? Edited January 14, 2020 by HalfTimePost Link to post Share on other sites

I will be livid if we go into the biggest game of the season without a striker, and we won't have one in place for Saturday now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
KevinRichardsonsMoustache 1,569 Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 I think these remarks about 'illness' were a smokescreen so he didn't play and injure himself, thereby scuppering a move out. I reckon all of this was predicated on us getting someone else in and then letting Kodj go, there are clearly suitors for him in the Champ. Longer we don't get someone in, the stupider we look with the 'Kodj is ill' line. Or he could just be ill. Link to post Share on other sites
Wainy316 9,783 Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 Well if he’s still ill on Saturday then he must have super aids. This excuse isn’t going to wash anymore. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Kiwivillan 4,270 Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 He should be pulling up trees to prove himself. It's a luxury many would give their left testicle for. I can't understand it unless he's depressed or something Link to post Share on other sites
Vive_La_Villa 12,813 Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 I’d rather have El Ghazi up front than Kodija on the pitch. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

HanoiVillan 21,629 Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 This situation is a nonsense. Nothing about him being out of contract in June prevents him from playing on Saturday. Instead we're going to play a nonsense formation that absolutely doesn't work for a team that regularly has less than 50% possession. An absolute farce. Good job it's not important or anything. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

It worked ok against Leicester. Kodjia was awful last time he played. Link to post Share on other sites
