KSV Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I dont know much about him but he has goals and experience. After Hogan its Davis.. so its an improvement on Davis at this stage. McCormack get a look in if he tries hard in training.. weve got the fire power for promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) Thinking about it I am gonna go ahead and withdraw this concern "That and I am not sure his work rate is going to fit into this high tempo team" thats bollocks I was getting from Sunderland fans. I just rewatched the Villa /Sunderland highlights and it reminded me. Grabben was good that game, he worked plenty hard. I have changed my mind. Assuming his attitude is good I think he will be a fine addition. Edited February 1, 2018 by ciggiesnbeer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacbuddies Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 With everyone fit up front it's looking good: Kodjia Hogan McCormack Agbonlahor Davis Grabban We should be able to rip up this division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id we had kodjia now without question for me are going up. But he is out for the season that i am sure of. He has played little football in over a year i cant see him being efefctive even if he did manage to come back for last few games. gabby is finished here i think now same with mccormack. i think our four strikers will hogan grabban, davis and RHM. if the latter gets a notehr injury then gabby will take the 4th striking position 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYP. We have those 3 strikers, the rest won't be contributing for various reasons, namely bones made of talc, booze, retired. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is players dip in and out of form and it depends when we are watching them. as an example look at Alberts form compared with a few weeks ago. fingers crossed, good signing.

Vive_La_Villa Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I don't think we need to be worried about attitude or work rate. If we had signed him permanently it might have been a different story but as a loan he is effectively in the shop window for what could be his last long term contract. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus if we do get promoted he won't be good enough for the premier league and we won't be stuck with him. It's a good loan for both parties.

carewjust4u Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 My housemate is a die-hard Sunderland fan, and he is very impressed that we have him. Rates him very highly at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't agree. I'd have loved to have seen a fully fit kodjia with this set up behind him. I think we would have pissed automatic promotion. He does everything that davis and hogan do but better. He can also do what snodgrass, Grealish and Adomah do, by pulling a magic moment out of nothing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Never really been that big of a fan and he has surprised me with the amount of goals he scored this season. Saying that, if before the Sheff Utd game you would have said we are getting a striker who has scored 12 goals in the Champ this season on loan with no commitment to buy then I would have bitten your hands off. When is the last time he played a game? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
