Esmond Million's Bung Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 5 minutes ago, TRL said: 15 million is great business. But not great business if Villa pip us for promotion (not for one minute I think we will get promoted this season) on the back of Kodjia's goals. And there lays the problem. The club have stated we will not sell to competitors and if the unlikly happens and we are challenging for promtion and fail through lack of goals or villa pipping us 15 million is going to look like pittance compared to promotion. All looks good at this moment in time. But history has a horrible tendency to bite you in the arse. Personally if a slightly lower offer came from a premiership side I would take it (player permitting). Certainly a odd predicament. I can't say I ever thought we we would be discussing such high values for a city player, so we must be doing something right somewhere The problem is your assessment forgets the main point in all of this saga is whether we like it or not in 99.9% of all similar cases the player has all of the power and the club very little if any at all, if the player has decided on Villa then ultimately Villa it will be, if a prem club comes in and he doesn't want to go that's that TRL, I would suspect that the only thing that would turn Jimmy's head now is more wonga end of.

Given it was in response to someone comparing JK at £15m to Shearer in 1995/6. I totally agree that this window we seen some mad money flying around, but we can't really compare it to transfers from 20 years back. Gradually prices for footballers have risen at the top level, and that is now filtering down into the second tier. A better gauge all-round would be to work out the % of the transfer in relation to the buying clubs turnover, and compare it from 20 years ago to today. Personally, I don't have time to do that right now. But I'd hazrd a guess though that big transfers back in the day were a higher proportion than today though....

JoeAman08 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Report on Twitter saying it's done. £12m rising to £15m. Would be good business if true. Rumours of sell on to be between 20-40% of profit. 12-2 is 10. So 2-4m to Angers leaving us 8-10m to replace him plus an extra almost 2m if they are promoted. Can't complain with that unless we don't bring any strikers in but I can't see that. We seem far too organised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If SL had stuck rigidly to that we might not have ended up selling him at all and have been burdened with an unhappy player until Jan earliest. What SL said is the mindset of the old Bristol City. Principled, but naive and not very effective in the transfer market. Perhaps what SL said was in the knowledge that he had a player that was unhappy/had is head turned/just wanted to move on and said what he needed in order to ensure the club got the very best deal possible.

The 26-year-old was the Championship club's top scorer last season, with 20 goals in 48 games in all competitions. Lansdown also said the Robins would not sell Kodjia to any Championship clubs.

The former Angers front man, who signed for the club in July 2015 for around £2m, played 90 minutes as City beat Wigan Athletic 2-1 on Saturday in their first match of 2016-17 and their first home game in the fully-redeveloped Ashton Gate. "We wouldn't sell him to anybody in in the Championship because we're looking to compete in the Championship this year, and he's an integral part of that," Lansdown added. "If it's not £10 million-plus, we're not even looking at it. If it's £10 million-plus from a Championship club, we're still not looking at it.

The football world has gone officially mad, I am not sure that Villa fans realise what they are actually getting. I know what their getting. Someone who constantly gets offside.

If his decision making was better last season he could of scored 50. You could say that about most strikers. If Freeman could make decisions quickly and well he'd be in the Premier League, if Flint could decide not to hoof the ball when distributing, he'd be in the Premier League. Decision making is much more important than is given credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think at the time he had every intention of sticking to it, but when the player decides he is moving it changes things. It helps that the money appears to be ludicrous.

I dont think Freeman does have that ability (Flint maybe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSSEL85 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 12:33 VILLA CLOSE ON KODJIA It could be a busy/expensive couple of days for Aston Villa, who are close to signing striker Jonathan Kodjia from Bristol City for £15m. A source close to the deal says he’s hopeful it will be completed before tomorrow’s deadline. City signed the striker from Angers last summer for £2m.

Naylor, Goater, Taylor... even Greg Goodridge Though did we really only sign Shaun Taylor 20 years ago? And sell Partidge the same window? That doesn't sound right to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be real, they're getting someone who scored 20 goals for a struggling team which struggle to create anything for large swathes of the season. Kodjia is an excellent player and it will be a big loss if he leaves, irrespective of the transfer fee. I will wish him well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
