Jonathan Kodjia - SOLD

[JUAN PABLO]

when he gets the ball , Im always shouting pass it , pass it now , and then the defender eventually gets a foot in and gets the ball because he hangs onto it long.        greedy bugger.   what  a player he could be If he just looked up for other players at times.

[Chris Smith]

His reluctance to give anyone else the ball is infuriating.

There was a great example of it today which happened more or less on the half way line. I understand good players want to keep the ball, but he was never going to run half the length of the pitch and score.

If he does in the right areas such as his run and shot where he hit the bar it is a real asset as it can unlock well organised defences. Doing it on the half way line is, as you say, a dangerous game. Very occasionally he will get away and create space against a retreating defence but far more often we lose possession and we are on the back foot. He is 28 so I doubt he is going to change.

out for he Preston game, hope he isn't going to be away too long

[Rudy65]

His injury may have come at a good time. Davis back up top and Hourihane further forward please Steve

Or with Hogan up front. But definitely not with Hogan isolated on the wing

[FanNOTCustomer]

Oh dear if he's out for any substantial amount of time there goes our promotion hopes. We only started winning games when he came back. Even not scoring he's a busy handful of a player and ALWAYS a threat. I don't want him to lay-off to the sub-standard shyte that is surrounding him, if we ask him to lay off all the time, we lose Kodija as we know him and he becomes another sideway crab player.

It's called endeavour and tenacity.

Hogan maybe alright in a decent passing team but he's dreadful for us under Bruce....seeing him even touch the ball is a bloody surprise let along scoring.

Love you Jimmy

I pretty much agree.

Call me old fashioned, but I’d rather he wasn’t injured any time. Hogan is a waste of a shirt, at least in this team.

[London Villan]

I'd play him wide left allowing him to cut in on his right foot. A front three of adomah, davis and him should be a handful. He would also have to pass the ball.

[mr underhill]

a concept we are not too familiar with

I agree. It’s his unpredictability that makes him special.
Get back soon Kodge.

How can he be unpredictable when you already know, that he's not going to pass the bloody ball?

According to the BBC he wasn’t even in the squad for Ivory Coast who’ve lost to Morocco

Good.

[The Edge]

I can forgive him being a greedy player when he's scoring regularly but even when fit he's not looking like scoring. The bigger problem for the club is that we still don't score  enough goals on a regular basis. We've spent a relative fortune on strikers and we don't have a single player in the top 20 goalscorers in the championship.

[Mister E]

is that because he's still injured?
I'm currently in Morocco and it was great to watch the euphoria of their first Finals qualification in 20 years; cars, flags and pedestrians rushing up and down the main streets. A Villa interest in Hadji (coach) and El Ahmadi (whom people here say has been playing very well for the national side).
