[in exile]

Brizzl City have signed a new striker (no:9) from Chelsea on loan for 12 months.

Will this pave the way for Kodija to move on ?

Yes please

[AVH87]

Perversely I get more of a buzz out of seeing us get rid of one of the prime culprits for our humiliation last season than seeing a new player come in.  Bit like removing a tapeworm.

I'm the same, it's bizarre. Guzan/Richards/Gabby/anyone from that ilk leaving comes as better news to me than signing almost anyone.

Would guess that is similar to when they signed Robinson on loan last season, a youngster as back up - had they loaned Solanke it might be different as he looks ready to be a starter somewhere

The Hull striker has a 12 millions (euros) buy out clause.

In that case I think we have a good chance of getting him. Relegation with a rapidly imploding Hull, or winning a title with a resurgent Villa. Chance to play for a much bigger club. Would be a excellent signing.

What does Hernandez add exactly?

Unless I've missed something his last couple of seasons are identical to Gestede, 20 odd in the Championship but 5 or so in the Premier League. Even his time at Palermo gave similar results - plenty of goals in Serie B, hardly any in the higher division.

I'm all for "let's worry about the league above when we actually get there", but I'd question the wisdom of spending £10m on something that the evidence suggests we have in our squad already.

I've not seen much of him but from what I have, he at least appears to be able to play football, which gives him a head start over Gestede.

Must admit - looking in cold light of day to agree.

Not sure why trade Gestede for him

Yeah, even the Youtube videos make him look like a guy who stands around waiting for the ball to come to him so he can put in the net. Which is a good attribute to have obviously, but that shouldn't be our main priority with McCormack in the fold. That much money should be able to get a midfielder capable of dominating the Championship.

I agree; not the same type of player and his international record for a top tier country (11 goals in 27) would make him a cut above Gestede.

I'd rather spend £8 million on Kodjia, looks very quick and mobile.

[Brend'Watkins]

I'm with you on that.  Pace up top is what we need.

agreed - lets get it done

[Ron Manager]

I agree with the posts above.Kodjia is good bet

[mr underhill]

they wouldn't sell for 8m, I read the price quoted to us was £13m

[JUAN PABLO]

we need a Andy Cole type with RMup front - so Kodjia ticks the box for me even thou hes a happy shopper version

[Malandro]

The only problem with Kodjia is his age.
