Norn Iron Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Even if Mr Kodjia had been given an advance warning of the questions or a script to learn for the interview, he did really well. It's just a pity that whoever is teaching him English, isn't Bristolian! There wasn't a slightest hint of a briz accent. What's more there were no expressions apart from 'Gaffer'. If his tutor is reading this thread, could you please get Jimmy to learn some important phrases? For instance, when the interviewer says 'Hello', Jimmy should respond with 'Ere, alright me babby? ' Jimmy must know that any word ending with a vowel must have an L added to it. For instance, when the game of Footba came to Bristol, it became Footbal....it only has 2 Ls now because the Welsh players living in Bristo added an additional letter. I'm sure there are other examples but well done Jimmy for your first (?) City interview. It was gert brill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Obviously Codgers English is still very basic but I do wish his tutor would expand his vocabulary by teaching him other adjectives for the word "happy" like pleased or delighted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shtanley Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 The interviewer needs to ask some easier questions though, "was that always in the back of your mind" come on just ask him if it was a target. Good to see he's happy and smiling as always though. He'll be a massive part of our season next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you might learn to spell his name before lecturing him about his English and his vocabulary??!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sign him up for the Academy Under Two's. Not sure but I'll say this before Jack Dawe does... He needs to bulk up a bit/send him out on loan to Plymouth/he's not good enough/Everton are interested in signing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
