Kibs Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 News from previous players signed for the academy coming out of the club was either non existant or very late. Whether or not they make some sort of announcement should give us a clue as to whether he is being signed to compete for a first team place or play for the academy.

Nogbad the Bad Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 So you think Kodjia is a 'lean and delicate build of body', and Wilbs. is a person whose body is 'compact and muscular'? Had to look those up, but my only comment is having seen Kodjia close up there's certainly nothing delicate about him. They're both 'lean' imo. and Kodjia's also a powerful looking athlete up close, all sinew and muscle. Anyway, I'll bow to your obvious greater knowledge of body types - I have none - but can only say if you ever go to Sainsbury's and happen to bump into JK you might be surprised.

CyderInACan Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Presumably we're buying abroad as no-one in the UK wants to play for (i) Cotts or (ii) BCFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've studied it fairly closely having worked in physical training but there is a few obvious differences between the two. If you were to look at Kodjia's ankles, calves and wrists I'd bet the bone structure would be much more delicate than Wilbraham's for example. The slight differences also account for the player's stamina, top speed and agility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon Wilbs's "fast twitch muscle fibres" are not quite as "fast" or "twitchy" as Kodj's, but I'm no expert on these things... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devereux Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Well footballdatabase.eu is already showing Garita as our player. Here are the stats they have for him: Coupe de France (cup): 4 matches (1 start) - 2 goals Coupe de la Ligue (cup): 1 match (1 start) - 1 goal Ligue 2 (league): 24 matches (3 starts) - 5 goals National: 5 matches (2 starts) - 1 goal CFA 2 Groupe B (think this is reserves): 42 matches (37 starts) - 23 goals Eliminatoires CA (??): 1 match (1 start) - 0 goals So by my reckoning thats 32 goals in 77 games OR 32 goals in 45 starts. If you take out the reserves stats its still 9 goals in 7 starts. Not bad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devereux Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 We will know soon enough as they always announce first team signings (and do a press conference), whereas signings for the development squad (like Ives) don't tend to be announced.

JoeAman08 Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 It does fit with the development theory if he has signed already. Didn't get an announcement on McCoulskey either.

Seems like we've signed more players for the u21s on permanent contracts than we have for the first the last 12 months, for what good that has done us.

We have signed more development players than first team. Hopefully we can look back on this season 3 years from now and say we did good business and developing of Garita, McCoulskey and Morrell.

deadredfred Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 If he can speak the lingo he can hopefully link up with Kodjia and help explain that the through ball won't ever arrive. More seriously, I'm happy as it's a signing and the ball is rolling. Previously scouted by Arsenal, Newcastle and Wolfsburg; whether he's Mahrez or Styvar, if nothing else the coverage shows other players we're recruiting. This can only be positive. We needed more players. He's a player. It's s step forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
