For sure. He's also talked about it on Ireland duty recently but that's neither here nor there. My point is we typically hear from disgruntled players one way or another. He's been interviewed by the club a couple of times since his injury and we haven't heard a peep which just doesn't wash with the picture painted of him. Sounds like someone who backs himself to get back into the team and doesn't mind waiting for his chance to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's more of a team player than people give him credit for. He might hold onto the ball a little too long but that's just a striker that backs himself. A real team player would let JT take his wife's number. Jimmy Danger OUT! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentVillan Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) I think Kodj is a team player in terms of his attitude, but he's not a natural team player in a footballing sense, hence the disagreement in this thread. I don't see him as the type of player who can play anywhere in the front 3 or behind the striker, setting up goals, doing defensive work, creating space for others. It just isn't his game. That's why he's struggled a bit under DS, because DS wants a striker who is more than just a goal threat. Still think he'll do some useful stuff for us next season. He plays without fear, and he doesn't mind feeding off scraps. Could be a bit of a wildcard. (And has just scored against South Africa) Edited June 24, 2019 by KentVillan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I’d get rid. Not sure he really offers anything and in the PL I can’t really see him making an impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 If Kodjia's not good enough for our Premier league squad, then I'm not sure what that says for most of our other players. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry'sboots Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I'd get rid. Try and get some value now before he is too old/gets to the end of his contract. He showed a few years back that he can be a decent striker in the championship and his minutes per goals won't have been too bad last seson.

Popular Post rodders0223 Posted June 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2019 On 23/06/2019 at 02:03, Keyblade said: He also didn't kick up a fuss despite being in and out of the team, mostly out wide. He went from being the star of the team to being replaced by a young loanee in the space of a year. We've heard Scott Hogan lamenting in the press multiple times about his lack of game time despite not doing anything to earn it but not a peep from Kodjia who electrified VP for an entire season. Yet he seems to get this reputation as a bad apple or "lazy" or whatever which I find pretty unfair. He's eccentric yes, but he never struck me as anything other than professional. It's England, a place where running around looking busy and perhaps occasionally crunching someone is valued more than anything else. A lot of football fans don't really understand the game, have never played the game at any level (even my pathetic sunday league level) It's part of the reason Hutton is so revered. Without fail, everytime Hogan came on the pitch a number of people round me would shout "Come on Scottie" despite it being very obvious based on previous outings he was going to have zero impact, and that is what happened, zero impact, nothing good, nothing bad, just zero impact. The same very people would spend the whole game though moaning at Jimmy for being lazy, and greedy, and frustrating (at he is tbf, so bloody frustrating) but completely oblivious to the fact the chances Jimmy was fluffing only came about through his own ability and skill. Strange bunch those that sit around me. Very strange bunch. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is definitely a good option, and with our squad currently he would definitely play a part. I just cannot see him being happy with that for another year, even at this level. He wants to be the main man I would imagine, probably best for us both if we have a successful window in the coming weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was playing in the French second division 3/4 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he will get anything near the salary he is getting at Villa somewhere else. I reckon he will be with us until his contract ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted June 24, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 24, 2019 I think he’s at least one of the top 20 players in the Championship when fit and on form, maybe even higher. It’s weird that people are saying we’ll pay £20m for the best of the Championship but we should sell JK. I personally think he’s earned a right to play for us in the PL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoMkali Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I think Jimmy danger is good enough. Throughout his career except the last 2 seasons it seems like he was clearly the best player on his team, playing in ligue 2 and playing for Bristol. He has finally fully recovered from his injury and I think a summer with Dean Smith will maybe cause him to give the ball up earlier in the play and get on it later. In terms of technical ability he is probably the best at villa even better than Grealish it is just that he isn't consistent enough through an entire game. If he could give 45 minutes of his top play a game I think he could probably score 12-15 in the pl. It is just a question of whether or not he can get a couple of assists. With wesley as our main striker I would bet kodjia could do well out wide as wesley seems very good at laying the ball inf ri wingers or a second striker.

Popular Post DCJonah Posted June 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2019 He can play out wide and upfront and will probably be happy coming off the bench. Why on earth would we get rid? We already need to sign a shit load of players, why add another to the list? 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, finding someone better who is willing to be back up and ideally available for less than we would get if we sold Kodjia is nigh on impossible. Just keep him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
