DaveF Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Surprised to see Kodjia not even mentioned as an outside bet! http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11688/10519166/who-will-be-the-sky-bet-championships-top-scorer-for-the-201617-season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillies Downs Leeds Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 He is in todays racing post. He is put up as one of the tips to be top scorer in the championship, and is "good value" at 28/1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogkev Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Either this is a glaring mistake, and someone somewhere within the employ of Sky should be sacked! Or, Sky have heard before anyone else that JK is heading to the Prem. My money is on Mourhino trying to slot Kodjia alongside Zlatan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Can't really argue with their other selections - apart from Scott Hogan, surely Kodjia is the more natural choice for that article. Hogan is a good player though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenred Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Couldn't believe you could get 25/1 on him to be top scorer and for him not to be mentioned in that article is pretty shocking, although I'm happy for JK to remain under the radar wherever possible. Very much worth an each way bet which I have done. In fact I might have to have another go if you can get 28/1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC_Dan Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Has Will Grigg actually done anything of note aside from that plagiarised song? Seems to have had a couple of good seasons in League One and that's it. No reason to put him in the list ahead of Kieran Agard or Aaron Wilbraham really.

Lrrr Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Kodjia should be in there ahead of Hogan and Grigg at the very least, but in the same respect, the less attention JK gets from the media the better for us if he continues to bag goals.

Big C Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 isn't it better for us if he isn't mentioned in these sort of articles? It might point potential suitors in other directions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JK doesn't take the penalties, or free kicks, and will miss 1 month of the season due to the African Cup of Nations. Another top-striker with the extra games and set-pieces could expect to net around 6-8 goals from these opportunities, so unfortunately Kodjia is already playing catch-up before the season has kicked off... Still a damned good striker though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider_boy Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Was looking at various sky bet odds earlier this morning, the Africa Cup of Nations stopped me betting on Kodjia, but still I'm considering it - with Tomlin in to support him all season, he could do well (he can't be offside as often this season as last...). I was also taken by the handicap betting for the title, we were +24 points, but the odds suggests they expect Newcastle to win by 10 points, with the next best as +10 (making our +24 not looking as bad as I first thought).

Still a damned good striker though. There is nothing to base an ACoN call up on, other than an appearance when 3 first choice players weren't available. Delighted for Kodjia that he got the call up, but he is far from a certainty to be called up for the ACoN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot of factors to consider though I agree I won an EW bet with him on Will Hill last season (40/1 top and 10/1 top 4) Wouldn't take those odds again this season, so 28/1 looks unappealing.
