why should they? what if he gets injured and misses the tournament especially with some of tackles Cardiff dished out to jack a few weeks back

Every other African nation is allowing their players to do so. Ayew will be available, for example.

Has that been confirmed now?

Heard it in the sports news on BBC Radio WM on Friday - Ayew will be available against Cardiff, Kodjia will not be available. It was phrased as a confirmation, not as a 'it is believed that...'.

ideally

when he comes back we'll have a firing partnership/individually too of

Grealish & McCormack opening up defences for fun to our loaned goal machine supported by 3 midfield monsters

Then Steve can go

Adomah Grealish McC LWer

             Loan Striker

for some games

&

Adomah Grealish/McC Ayew/LWer

         Loaner &/or Kodjia

Nobody gets tired

(apart from our new GK who falls asleep cos he's got nothing to do

Our Defence pushing up playing a "high-line" practically being in a midfield 6

Bruce had said villa were still awaiting a reply from the Ivory Coast - they are meeting up on 2nd so it's still possible he could play at Cardiff and report in Paris tomorrow night and meet the squad - man united had their request turned down but they play late on Monday  so maybe that's why .

Hopefully they allow him to play, he gets 'injured' in the 89th minute, not fit enough for AFCON, misses Spurs away, then is fit for next league fixture. :D

Couldn't do that, FIFA would ban us from playing him.

Just pay them off....bet we could get Ivory coast to pay for his bandages if we chucked in another monkey!

It appears the BBC may have jumped the gun with their assumption that all the Ivory Coast players were unavailable.

Good riddance to him.

Can see us playing better without him. McCormack doing that strange thing of holding the ball up, laying it off, allowing the midfield to get up the field, spreading the play, getting it wide,linking up with others, running off each other, playing one twos.

We called it football in my day. All bizarre concepts to Kodjia.
