ajs202 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 So, coming with our biggest fee for a while it's safe to say Kodjia was a risk. He seems to be adapting well and scoring in an underperforming team who are leaking goals and have had their most creative midfielder out for 4 of the 9 leagues games, yet, our Jonny is the third highest scorer in the league.Consider he carries on and is at 12 goals by the end of the year - how much is he worth in January should someone come in for him? Have we finally got our own high value asset?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I'd have said Bryan and Freeman also fit into that catagory, so Kodjia would be at least our 3rd high value asset Kodjia was about what £2.2m? Would say he'd be around the £3m mark already considering he's shown he can adapt to this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTone Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 My opinion is that he has been a very astute buy who indeed could net us a few quid in the future (along with a few goals in the meantime). There must be some other gems out there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flagon Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 It does worry me that we only end up with an alright season and the likes of Freeman, Bryan and Kodjia attract a lot of attention. That would leave a massive rebuild of the team next season and a big problem in that we have shown we can compete already with fees so getting x amount for them wouldn't make a difference if we can't or refuse to compete at wage level.

DaveF Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I wonder if Kodjia has any mates from Ligue 2 he can recommend that we snap up...If he scores 20+ this season surely he'll be worth £7-8m in the current market? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 We have had saleable assets before (perhaps not with as much potential as JK from what I`ve seen of him) but it could be argued we`ve not managed them well with regard to maximising the possible profit. Maynard springs to mind (although I appreciate a lot of that was down to him) and going back, did we get as much as we ought to have for the likes of Akinbyi, Jim Brennan, Darren Barnard etc. The signs we are beginning to get it right are there - Joe`s new contract looks like we are - so hopefully we`re learning from our past mistakes.

Spoons Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Started really well!! I have a feeling that he must have a minimum fee release fee in his contract. I'm guessing £7million?? Got to be some value for club. My fear was/is that basically if he have's a good season he will only be here for 1 season. Can't imagine he was sat in France dreaming of playing for Bristol city!! I think we will be his stepping stone to bigger thinks. Good luck to him. We will need his goals this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Looks like a Championship striker. Frankly if one of those multi million ones that fell over had signed, and playing like him, I would say you could see the difference in quality.Never sure why we were in for Agard, Kod type strikers anyway, when if we are short up front it is the Wilbs one that needs cover. Always a risk, but maybe our Swedish poster was right that for us the value is overseas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negan Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Ol Jimmy danger will be gone at the end of the season to one of the promoted clubs if he keeps his form up.

Hopefully we get around 8M+ should do us well if we stay up or go down. Doubt it, Lansdown won't accept that. He won't sell our best asset (if he keeps his form up) in time for the opening of the new AG unless the offer is genuinely mental.brentford for example would have a price for him - moneyball. Lansdown is about making a statement and money isn't really an object. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think he'll be a premier league player then why wouldn't other prem clubs come in for him?Personally I think he's adapting well to Championship football, steady progress but not yet ready for the div above. It would be great if we still had him next season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 It was the first big mistake I remember and as far as I`m aware there was no sell on clause although that might have taken on urban myth status - I`m not even sure if they were the norm back then or not anyway.

Tinmans Love Child Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 If he gets to double figures before Xmas I would be offering JK a new contract already, as it will cost a lot more to replace him if he goes, he's clearly doing well, and will only improve. From the games I've seen already I think he's going to have a lot of clubs after him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Andy Cole was the big mistake. Keegan said in his autobiography that our board jumped at the first offer when Newcastle would have gone up to around £3m and that was big dosh back then!And am I right in thinking we put no sell on clause into the deal too?!That's not quite true, they offered £1.3m and it was rejected. It's never been detailed if that that first bid included one. For all we know the £1.75m bid could have dropped the sell on with the increased amount up front. Let's face it while he was good I don't think many of us expected a record breaking fee of £7m.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 He's a great buy but not our first high value asset. We've had a few over the years, though "high value" is relative to the time in which they were playing - e g Andy Cole, Kevin Mabbut etc. Of course, Arsenal offered City £244k for Geoff Merrick and Tom Richie combined (yes £244k for both of them - not a typo). At the time it was considered a fair bid. Plus, don't forget John Atyeo. City could have received a big fee, for the day, if he had wanted to go.

Lack of Action Man Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 sweet lord. Why would you say that?I was watching the incident that saw Messi sustain a ligament injury whilst posting. It got me thinking about how they can happen out of the blue sometimes (as Callum Wilson's did) and others they can be as a result of twisting or impact injuries. I really hope Kodjia stays clear of any of these potential incidents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I think he's made a great start, especially considering he's had to adapt to playing in a different country.

Shtanley Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Although I agree Kodjia will be getting a lot of attention from other clubs and I still stand by my prediction on here earlier that hell outscore Gray this season. You have to remember that this guy has only just moved to this country. It's a brand new city and a brand new team. Personally I don't really think he'll want to change all of that unless it's a safe prem club with French players in or to go back to France. I don't think we would really need to sell him. We can spend ~£9m without selling anyone, surely that's enough. Love Kodjia to bits hope he never goes and he never stops scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asfred Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Quick question, why would we sell him if a club offered £7/8/9m? This transfer window has proved that we will struggle to get strikers in for that sort of money, why let him go, to then not be able to get anyone else in with the transfer fee?It also proves that we do not need to sell, if we are offering that sort of money!

Selred Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Can't see Kodjia being on a high wage at all. Probably around 5k a week I doubt that. He will have an agent whose job it is to solely make him as much money as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
