pride of the west Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 I can see the end result being a 50% wage increase with a buy out clause added on a new 4 year contract. I hope so anyway. We can't tell villa to do one at 6.5 mil for instance and not look to pay him a wage of a 6.5 mil striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some one season wonder!! I completely agree he's no longer a one season wonder but in the context of what I was responding to the poster was saying that 10 million is alot to ask for a player who's produced only in one championship season. When Burnley paid in excess of 10 million for Gray. He had played only one season of championship football with good results. That was my point.

Clarky89 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Get £10m and replace him with Rhodes permanently and Abraham on a season loan and I wouldn't lose too much sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 75 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 In Spain today at the question and answers my first question was are we selling kodjia. Johnson said no he's on a very strong contract . We have a billionaire owner and we don't want to sell our best players. But if silly money comes in for him then like any other club they will consider it . The club is looking forward not backwards. As for kodjia he was there today but picked up injury last night. Seemed happy and relaxed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Wat I can gather mate city have no intention of selling him . Only looking to get stronger. He also said if we could afford messi there would be no tomlin which was quite funny. As for lee Johnson came across really well . And the players were quality as well . Really good bunch. Pemberton don't take no shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For every Andre Gray though there are probably a lot that don`t live up to expectations (although not that many that a club has punted 10 million on I`ll agree). Personally I think Gray is more of an exception rather than the rule, he earned his success and came up the hard way and I think the signs were more obvious that he was worth the money. I just don`t think anyone, even Villa, will risk that on someone who`s only done it for one season up to now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in a position whereby if they want him they should take the risk and gamble, just as we did in buying him. Personally speaking I agree. No-one should be paying what it should take to prize him away just yet. That said, having seen him for a year, I think we'd do ourselves a MASSIVE disservice selling him less than £10m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly my point. if I were in charge of the money at Villa I`d be saying not to spend that amount on what looks on paper as a relatively high risk gamble. They`d be being advised to spend the same on someone like Lewis Grabban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Interesting that Kodjia hasn't been shown really on galleries of today that I've seen, or the snapchat - bcfcsnap. From a PR perspective, if the rumours were genuinely unfounded - surely it'd make sense to make a point of picturing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charliesboots Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Met with a friend of mine yesterday and I steered one of many topics we discussed to Kodjia. They're of the same opinion as the official channels, nothing's been said or interest made. "It's usual bollocks" Quote that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
