Kodjia 22 Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Problem I have with all us city fans is now we will be expecting this lad to come in and be the answer to all our problems, who am I kidding, I am also very excited to see what he has to offer.

jambodinho Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Being aged 20 and from Cameroon, he's probably 28 years old so hopefully ready for 1st team football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 This thread confuses me. A new signing (a rarity in itself), for the Development squad, is now going to be playing with Kodjia straight away in the first team. What am I missing here?

RedRock Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Just shows to me how bad things are. One first teamer out today to follow the 2 -3 loanees already gone in this window and we sign someone for the under 21's. Underwhelmed in the extreme. We need at least 5 quality first team signings. All our scouting/financial resources should have been concentrated on that not pratting around with the Under 21 side. Just a bloody diversion, like the Academy. Get your priorities right and focus on the first team FFS.... we now desperately need short term fixes given the situation that's been created. Can't believe given the size of the first team squad we didn't have one, just one, friggin player lined up on Day 1. Appalling stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 If this does go through, then I'm glad we're looking at recruitment for the future, not for the now. We must always have 2 plans in place, one for the immediate first team, and one for the next few years. If this lad signs for the u21's, great, I'll hope he works hard, settles in, and we see him play some part in the next 2-3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciderbeans Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Not much development going on in that squad. Where is the emergency of joe morrell amongst others? They are all of an age where if they are to be of any real quality, they would have broken through by now. Time to close it all down as it seems to be wasted money. Not only can we not develop many or any youth, but we can't even buy in quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selred Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 It does make you think it this guy can sneak in and clearly has been lined up in advanced, how many more we have lined up like this? Or am I being too positive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 5 hours ago, Shtanley said: Exciting stuff. 2 years ago Arsenal were thinking about signing him. A strong tall forward is needed as we've only got Wilbs. Kodjia has a mate to speak to and he's young and cost probably almost nothing. I'm excited. Talking of Arsenal they are likely to offload Rosicky, Flamini and Arteta on free transfers in the summer. Any two from three would be rather decent loan additions to our squad in the meantime.
