Phileas Fogg Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Really good finish, hope he does well there and earns us another load of cash with a sell on to PSG or somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS4 on Tour... Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I've got absolutely no problem with JK, we gave him a platform from which to show what he could do in this country, he kept us up with his goals then got a better offer and moved on earning us a massive profit by doing so. Top man, wish him well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviestevieneville Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Time to let it go. We got £15m for a player who's decent but not worth that. Let's move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 He didn't refuse to play for us...'he said to the coaching staff that he would prefer not to'...he didn't plain blank refuse. I'm personally glad he didn't against Scunthorpe in the cup. Knowing our luck, he'd have broken his leg and be worth sod all. Worked out well for everyone. I'm glad he 'forced the hand'.

Splitting hairs really though init. He still didn't want to play for us. As I've said we got a great deal for a decent player who's 27 and still got a lot to learn.

spudski Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 @steviestevieneville not really fella...because some fans actually believe he point blank refused to play and now have some weird dislike for him. The whole point of buying and risking money on someone like JK, is to improve them as a player, and get some use out of them, then get a team like villa come in and pay over the odds. It's what we as a Club are now looking to do. He has no allegiance to us...it was the perfect scenario. If we had job and got head hunted abroad, and proved our worth and got noticed...and then a Competitor came along ,and offered your company a big payout for your services and a massive wage increase and long contract for yourself, we'd all struggle to give 100% concentration and commitment if the carrot was dangling.

Do you honestly think the club wanted him to play against Scunthorpe ?? If so you are naive , easy to make JK the villan but we wouldn't risk him if we knew a £15 million transfer was pending.

Yeah I totally agree and got no issue with Kodjia. I think it's a very good policy buy the club, players improve us and themselves and hopefully take us where we want to be . I get that and agree with it. LJ did say though he was disappointed with him as he felt he let his team mates down , the same team mates that helped him score twenty goals last season. There is no loyalty in football anymore though from clubs or players and I do feel that some fans get too attached to players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never felt like Johnson rated him that highly, or that he fitted in his teams. Don't look for unnecessary negatives. He's saying thanks to a manager (and scouts) that took a punt on a player playing in the French second league, he's now infinitely richer and playing at a bigger club directly because of Steve Cotterill. He doesn't really care that Steve nearly got us relegated. Quite rightly he's thanking Steve for giving him that chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Let's face it, we sold a very good player. But did we sell a £15m player for less than he's worth? I suspect not. The dosh we got is a reflection of the silly money now floating about as parachute payments. He'll do well for them. But whether they'd have got a better return from buying three £5m players is uncertain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nest Egg Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 If he keeps scoring goals like that while Villa keep drawing games this will be very beneficial to us due to the fees we attached with the deal, while they potentially stagnate in this league.

If JK came here hoping to make a name for himself and get a big move then LJ saying publicly that he was like an uncoached 18 year old surely wouldn't have pleased him. Playing him on the wing too. Wouldn't be a surprise if he was a bit unhappy with how LJ dealt with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 @Griffin those were the words used by SL...LJ's were slightly different. However...as LJ stated...he didn't refuse to play. He just preferred not to. Why would you want to risk injury against Scunthorpe in the Cup? LJ made the right decision putting him on the bench with no intention of bringing him on. Best result all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRERE Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Strange to see him play right wing for Villa last night but I suppose they do have some top players for their front 4. Apparently he looked lively with the ball but without it not so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Army 75 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 When I was in Spain during the q and a . Question. Will we sell kodjia. Johnsons answer was he's on a strong contract. No intention of selling our best players . But every player has there price . Whilst there kodjia looked very much part of the group. City could end up getting 15m . Well done city .
