REDOXO Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 So to summarize my day so far. Got up (I'm overseas) looked at OTIB and saw Villa were now offering 17m. Looked on Newsnow and saw that this is entirely possible. :laugh: while making cup of tea. City possibly in for boy from IFK as the Swedish connection mentioned the other day and Waghorn (where did that come from?) Does that cover it?

Stuff like this doesn't happen to City?! Hopefully it sets a good precedent that we will sell our players but only for very strong prices. If we followed the model of Southampton I'd be happy.

Saunders87 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Let's just hope we spend some on a proven replacement - all for trying to find another gem on the cheap but only having two first team strikers on the books and one of those being a pensioner need to bring in someone who will hit the ground running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Skin Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 3 hours ago, cider-manc said: £15 Million!!!! Unreal amounts of money! Tell you what though... a strike force of Kodjia and McCormack could be absolutely lethal in this division. Not if Kodjia can't spot his runs or doesn't release the ball. I love Kodjia especially his unpredictably, but that is just as likely to frustrate his teammates as the opposition. I think LJ's comments about being like an 18 in terms of footballing nouse are huge factor on way we are willing to cash in regardless if it's someone invite same division.

Esmond Million's Bung Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 i'm glad he went to Villa and not Hull because he seems an ok bloke and Hull look like another northern disaster waiting to happen a la Bolton and Blackburn, I still cannot believe we have got such a mental fee for him. and I cannot believe that after such a good piece of business the usual suspects feel the need to take aim at SC once more, but hey ho i'm sure if Flint goes for a similar mental fee SOD will be getting every single plaudit available, even though 'some' people told us SOD never wanted him.
