NottingVilla Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 He's better than Benteke v3.0 so could play in the Premier League. Obviously not better than Benteke v1.0 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post VillaChris Posted March 4, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2017 How many games has he played for us? He missed the first 6 games as he didn't sign and then missed 3 over xmas....so he must have a 1 in 2 scoring record. I know we're not premier league anymore but odd to see a Villa striker with a scoring ratio like that criticised as much as he is. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a shame that this run has come so late as I fear we will loose him in the summer if we don't get promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I know he's not perfect but for where we are he is more than good enough. He absolutely loves being here, gives 100% and scores at a rate of 1 in 2. I don't get the criticism of him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Not a team player and that's not going to work if and when we get promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has clearly learned over the past month or so. He does bring others into the game now. And he's scored what, 4 in 7? Edit - was it not his unselfish play which lead to the first goal?

thunderball Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 He is a level of quality that we have little of at the moment, but I don't think PL sides will come knocking until he goes up (with us) and proves his worth. They would need to pay us £20m and that's too big a risk. The bigger question mark is his ability to play alongside Hogan. One day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe Adomah didn't play that ball across. If that was KoJo he would have got pelters. He's our most exciting player by a country mile, don't understand the criticism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philgetaway Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Two fans behind me just went into the default mode of shouting "pass it" every time he got the ball. Yeah, at time he does too much, but I like individual runs/goals. That's why he's exciting to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommo_b Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I do wonder how much the club will eventually make back in shirt sales on kodjia, get to the prem in next few years and I bet it will take a big chunk of that 15million off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Jimmy Danger! As has been pointed out, he's learning to be more of a team player and I think he'll get there. He didn't have as many good players or at least players who could score around him before coming here, plus he's got a ton of new teammates to learn to trust and gel with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
