Rudolf Hucker Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 2 minutes ago, Curr Avon said: Lansdown said no, no, no, to selling Kodjia to a Championship rival: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36942088 Jonathan Kodjia: Bristol City forward has £10m-plus price tag, says owner Steve Lansdown Bristol City will not sell Ivory Coast forward Jonathan Kodjia for less than £10m, says owner Steve Lansdown. The 26-year-old was the Championship club's top scorer last season, with 20 goals in 48 games in all competitions. Lansdown also said the Robins would not sell Kodjia to any Championship clubs. "It would have to be a mega price to prize him away and it would have to be a Premier League side," Lansdown told BBC Radio Bristol. "People have talked about five or six million - no chance." The former Angers front man, who signed for the club in July 2015 for around £2m, played 90 minutes as City beat Wigan Athletic 2-1 on Saturday in their first match of 2016-17 and their first home game in the fully-redeveloped Ashton Gate. "We wouldn't sell him to anybody in in the Championship because we're looking to compete in the Championship this year, and he's an integral part of that," Lansdown added. "If it's not £10 million-plus, we're not even looking at it. If it's £10 million-plus from a Championship club, we're still not looking at it. "If somebody comes in with the right offer, you've got to look at it." OK ... and your point is? I for one would prefer SL to go back on his statement to accept what is a colossal and stupid amount of money for a striker who hasn't yet learned to kick with his left foot.

hertsexile Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 The problem is money talks in football.an average player can be sold for mega bucks during silly season.Kodja not average so if someone comes in with silly money and player not happy move him on.SL did say he would not sell to another championship side. But let's face it anything in the £15m bracket would mean a get return on last summers failed transfer window !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Freeman could make decisions quickly and well he'd be in the Premier League, if Flint could decide not to hoof the ball when distributing, he'd be in the Premier League.

I think at the time he had every intention of sticking to it, but when the player decides he is moving it changes things. It helps that the money appears to be ludicrous.

RUSSEL85 Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 12:33 VILLA CLOSE ON KODJIA It could be a busy/expensive couple of days for Aston Villa, who are close to signing striker Jonathan Kodjia from Bristol City for £15m. A source close to the deal says he’s hopeful it will be completed before tomorrow’s deadline. City signed the striker from Angers last summer for £2m.

Let's be real, they're getting someone who scored 20 goals for a struggling team which struggle to create anything for large swathes of the season. Kodjia is an excellent player and it will be a big loss if he leaves, irrespective of the transfer fee. I will wish him well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reformed_red Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Apparently, Villa are looking at Wilbraham as well. £28mill. But Lansdown said we'd only talk to Champions League Clubs so it's a no-go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugofwar Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 When you consider the relatively low wage demands of Kodjia, it might be that Villa don't consider the transfer fee to be that important. Certainly a lot cheaper than forking out the same amount for Hernandez and then 4 years worth of Prem wages on top! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
