So scoring on home debut is your criteria for a 'cult hero'? Fair enough...you decided after two minutes of seeing him at AG that he had earned that title... So Lee Miller, Lee Matthews, Steve Torpey are all cult heroes by your criteria? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't have much of a cult following though and faded from the playing scene about fifteen years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it was part of a "moment", that involved: - first home game back in the championship - first home game back in the partly developed ground - first time in the South Stand for me and Joe and lots of others too - first time loads of fans had seen him (I'd seen him at Yeovil and liked what I saw) - he was French / Ivorian Coast national, we don't get many of them, so new for lots of us. - we had no real idea how good he was - it was a hit sunny day - it was two minutes in - he ran over to us, no more than 5 yards away - etc - etc it does not have to be a recreatable set of rules, or consistently applied. I doubt I was the only one who took that moment to see him in that Cult Hero light1 For interest, how quick were their goals on their home debut. You're becoming more confrontational with these balmy June days we are having.

He is a local hero, passed on a lot of advice to me, about when to get tight, when not to etc, although any goals we conceded he blamed on me!

Drew Peacock Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 The trouble with selling him now, for any amount of money, is that we are then out in the market looking for two strikers, not just one. This would be a very difficult ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind selling, but it has to be right for the club and we have to have a replacement lined up or through the door, If Kodja was to leave today, I would hope that other french striker would be through the door tomorrow, (just an example), its where we have failed in the past, we got rid of cunningham and never had another left back at the club or lined up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciderbeans Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 The potential sale of kodjia is like the housing market. all well and good getting a great offer, but a similar replacement is going to cost similar money unless we downgrade and availability isn't great. We would have to do a Newcastle and pay over the odds so it just makes sense to keep him. Besides, there is plenty more to come from him and he certainly could cut it in the prem for a greater team for greater money in another years time. his stock is still rising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
