I'll be a bit disappointed if he goes to a rival club, but £15 million is A LOT of money for a player with one good season at this level (as much as I like him as a player) and if he wants out then we should get as much moolah as we can for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And their chairman is every manager's worst nightmare. Di Matteo will be gone in a few weeks anyway if they're anything below top 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A great shame he's going to a rival C'ship club but I feel £15m is suitable compensation, especially for a player so technically lacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadredfred Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Parachute payments r us! Hell of a front line for the championship, but if JK does have Premier League ambition, not sure Villa would have been my first choice! Even ignoring the result on Saturday, they're not looking like contenders yet. All about the £. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More to do with his head being distracted by all the transfer talk full stop. I wonder what that means in practice. Him not paying attention in training? Not communicating? Playing poorly?

Lrrr Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 No problem with him going to another championship club if it's £15m, huge amount for us and we've already played villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up The City! Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Because he is off to the ACON I'm quite happy for us to sell him. Hopefully means we can get someone in who won't be missing during an important part of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nebristolred Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 I really hope we've got someone lined up but even if it's worst case and we didn't, I'd still sell. £15m isn't just ridiculous money for Kodjia, it's insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenred Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 8 minutes ago, Flint says No said: I also don't know why they want him they have Gustede, Ayew and McCormack who all cost big money Seems crazy. One of them will be going by tomorrow I suppose, probably Ayew? For £15 million though I couldn't care less - it's a ridiculous amount of money if true for a one season track record. Amazing piece of business by us, just hope (and trust) that we have our ducks in a row for a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shtanley Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Assombalonga for £12m-ish and Russel for £3mish would do it. Need a replacement tho and it can't be Waghorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, I think if he learns to time his runs a little better and gets even more consistent with his finishing then he could be a £15 million striker but Villa (or whoever) are taking a big gamble on potential. I certainly think we should sell. I'm confident that MA and LJ will have had contingency plans in mind all summer. My one concern is we might actually be a bit caught out by how much money we've made on JK and might end up having a rapid rethink on targets due to having £5 million more available to spend than we'd accounted for...

Agreed, and whilst Kodjia has been an exciting player I'm not sure he is great for the team as a whole. His lack of tactical/positional understanding and trying to do a lot on his own has probably stopped us working so well as an attacking 'unit' I feel. I'm not sure it's a coincidence that we played some of our best attacking football against Scunthorpe and put three past Villa without Kodjia in the team.

Agreed, and with the Yannick money too, we could go for a better striker than anticipated but I do have a feeling prices will go up from today and tomorrow, especially for us, losing our top goal scorer.

We have known he was leaving for at least couple of weeks, there must have been discussions with him and his agent when the bids came in during the Summer and eventually they have decided to force a move (removing BCFC history from his social media indicates thus). Am confident we have 2 ducks lined up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
