villalad21 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Imagine if Kodjia had a better attitude. He has the quality to be a fine backup striker in Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of reasons why players would want to play there over here. You only have to look at Leao and Lukaku to see that. Lukaku is going because he is finished in the PL and no top team would have him. Dybala is a much, much better player and coming to the PL. Of course, Serie A is a great league and top players would want to go there, and Italy is a great place to live. But the PL is the top league atm.

But the PL is the top league atm. No doubt where the money and power is, I remember the 90s and late 80s, when apart from the big two in spain the world's best players played in serie a. It wasn't completely weird for a player to want to stay/play in England though back then, same as it's not for players wanted to stay/play in Italy now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 No idea of the quality of these Italian strikers we’ve been linked to. I always worry about players coming over from Italy though, have been a long line who haven’t been able to cope with the intensity difference.

But if we manage to stay up i think we have a very good chance to establish ourselves inside the top 10. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Do we think it would be beneficial to Keinan Davis to send him out on loan for a full season if we sign another striker? Wesley, Kodjia and a new striker would be more than adequate. I actually think Davis would do very well in the PL this season, however he needs game time to start banging in goals regularly. He's been very impressive in pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the PL is the top league atm. Lukaku is only 26 years old, it just feels like he has been around for longer, I’d take him here. He’s an excellent striker in my opinion, one of the best finishers in Europe, he’s just going through a bad spell currently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they all need games, him, JDH, RHM, Suliman and O'Hare 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been very impressive in pre-season. Don’t forget about Rushian Hepburn-Murphy and Scott Hogan too, I agree about Davis, he’s been great in pre season. He’s a dying breed of a striker, an old fashioned target man, I think he can and will score goals though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I think we are after Benrahma. I’d prefer getting him and having Kodjia as a backup than getting Maupay. I think we’ll need time to find a gem that would agree to be a backup player, and to be honest Benrahma potential is higher than Maupay or whoever.

His game is based on power, pace and strength. Even back during the best spell of his career he used to miss bucket loads of chances. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing wrong with his attitude, he just doesn't quite fit the system Dean plays. People forget Under Bruce he had to create his own chances and score them. It was rare to see Abraham tracking back or even getting many assists (some), so hard to really fault Kodjia for not doing this either. Dean often player him wide which doesn't suit him. I think being a very occasional impact sub isn't great for him either, but when he did come in for Tammy as a starter at the end of the season, he scored the goals we needed to qualify for the play offs, not sure what else he is supposed to do. is he is fine as back up? Yes! Do we need a different type of striker as back up for Wes? Yes also! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracking back was 50/50 on whether he did or not, not dissing him as a player but he wasn't always the work horse your claret and blue tinted glasses claim, especially towards the end of the season. Nor would i expect him to track back either, he's a lone striker. He often tracked back when he lost the ball, i'll give you that also.
