SecretSam Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 £11m for someone who cost us what, £2m a year or so ago? Good business. Let's not kid ourselves, this is what we have to do. Good luck to JK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sold to a championship club for £11m which to my mind says SL's word is only worth the £1 million. it's worth that 1 mil to ship out a player who clearly wanted to leave us and ship him out before some of the reported negativity entered into what appears to be a happy and together dressing room and I thank LJ and BCFC who if you ask me created this bidding frenzy with the clever way that they have handled this since about 2pm last Saturday.

Supposing we meet Villa in the playoff final and Jimmy scores the winning goal which takes them up. The £11m minus 15% to the French, won't look so good then.

However, what an idiot JK is, Villa are a club that could easily be relegated this year. They are a basket case of a club, he has gone for money, not football. He should have tried to get to the Prem. He is being badly advised. Whilst I agree with your sentiment BW...I think it's more intricate than that. A four year deal at JK's age is not to be sniffed at. Plus...reading between the lines, it seems AV were the Club that agreed to our terms on how we wanted to be paid. Other Clubs may have come in for him and offered a similar amount...but the structure of the payments may have been different. It seems this deal suited all parties, to everyone's benefit. There is also no reason why if he does well, that he could be bought by another Prem Club. I know WBA were in for him, but have no idea of what they would give up front and how they would pay. Plus how long a length contract they offered to JK. 4 years is a bloody good contract to get at 27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivorguy Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Well done City! No good trying to keep a player who wants out. No way on past career is he worth £11/15 m. What a silly young man to leave a club on the up for a club on the way down, and who are highly likely to sack their manager at some point this season. The same manager who has brought him into their club. Still believe, on balance, he will be back in French football within 18 months. Upwards and onwards, City.

Agree with all three points. With that attack, Villa *should* score goals, but they're also under a huge amount of pressure, and with that chairman in charge, you know stability is the last thing they'll be getting.

Unfortunately for Villa, Jimmy's 85th minute "winner" in the play off final is pegged back by 2 late Tammy gaols to seal promotion for Bristol City. That's Tammy's 35th goal of the season and triggers the cause in the loan deal whereby City can purchase Tammy on a permanent deal for £20m !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Citychuds Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 13 minutes ago, Fat Cigar said: I have to say that whilst I'm grateful for his goals last season, I can't completely share in the good will. Mark Ashton says that we didn't want to sell. But Kodjia got distracted by the interest and agitated for a move. "We’ve continually told Jonathan that we don’t want him to go, but recently he’s made it clear that he’s aware of the interest of other clubs and that he wanted to leave." Which leaves a sour taste. The erasing of City from his Instagram. Why? Was that really necessary? Another player having a strop for not getting his own way? I don't wish the guy ill but I can't wish him well either. He's been with us for one year. ONE YEAR! Don't think that warrants that much praise. Did he ever give an interview? Stockhausen was saying last week that he never managed to interview him. The deal by the club is seriously unbelievable. An amazing piece of business. Kodjia is a decent player, but as I've said several times before, he's not that good, and from the evidence of this season, still needs to iron out all the familiar flaws. So, what type of reception do you think he deserves when we go to Villa? 1. Standing ovation. 2. Polite ovation. 3. Nothing. Ignored. 4. Booed. I'll be going for option 3. The funny thing is that people on here have raved about Jimmy. But take away his goal scoring record and the man I saw was one who didnt want to learn English, didnt seem like he was all that pally with his team mates and actually should have scored quite a few more. I definitely wont go for option 4 but im not all that sad to see him go. Dr Xia however will get number 1 treatment. A standing ovation from me every time I see him, I may even make up a little song for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed with that we can't play the what if this and what if that happens otherwise there would be no point having a transfer window or even playing the game!

That's a very unlikely sequence of events though. You could realistically say that for any player we sell.. What if we get to the FA cup quarter finals and play MK Dons - Agard gets the winner! You can do 'what if's' all season, but right now we're £11-14m richer and Kodjia has got himself a good move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berkshire Red Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Rising to a potential £17 million that's ridiculous money for a striker who's 27, not English and after 1 good season in the championship.
