Jonathan Kodjia - SOLD

[KRS]

JK is the reason Wes starts every game. It’s so frustrating watching his poor decisions.

[Toronto Villa]

He hasn’t played for ages. Not properly anyway and I’m not counting against Liverpool schoolboys. Give him a chance. I know he made a very poor decision but he still gives us a different way of playing. Nobody is suggesting he’s who we should be setting our future on but he should have had more playing time before now.

you know people have their pet player hates
You know where even when they do something good you find a reason to pick fault with it

most of us have got them Wesley, Taylor, Elmo, Trez, Ghazi, you can take your pick nothing they do is ever right and you become a bit obsessed about it to a ridiculous point

Well Kodjia is mine

I think he’s utter garbage a total waste of space when he’s on the pitch and massive liability
The worst footballer by a mile at the club

He's talented, but brainless.

He was only on for about 20 minutes. 15 of those, he was blowing out of his arse.

[themossman]

Terrible today. That dumb decision not to square to trez left us with our arses out for 20 minutes.

Agree with the comment in the match thread he’s not greedy per se, just a real head down player with no feel for what’s going on around him.

You’ve got to wonder who those wanting Wes to be dropped want to replace him? The injured Davis or this clown?

[phantom limb]

Wes has struggled but at least he’s aware of what’s going on around him and looks up when he gets the ball, that’s something that Kodjia has never really done in his career.

I'm not really sure why you would write someone off after an half an hour cameo? He scored a hat-trick (or possibly a brace) last time he started.

It's why the Championship is his peak level. You need more awareness in the Premiership. It's not just about not being selfish, but like Defoe or Bent at their best, it's knowing what's happening around you and when you can find enough space to get the chance for yourself. It's about seeing Trezeguet and being able to exploit his presence there to get your own chance. Kodjia isn't savvy enough to do that or pick and choose his runs at this level. He can do it at Championship against a mix of young or aging/slow defenders, but not in the Prem.

I wanted him to play but apart from anything else because Wesley looked like a protagonist in some kind of depressing Soviet art house film about the crushing reality of existence.  He needed a break over Crimbo. He looked a different player today though.

Time to buy someone though. Kodjia's had his time. Wesley needs competition and someone he can also learn a bit from too.

He made one poor decision and should have crossed. But what were people realistically expecting him to do coming on following a long delay from an injury to Wesley? He wasn’t great but I don’t get why he’s being lambasted by some. We absolutely need to get someone in as Kodjia will only be a short term option. Or two now even.

I wrote him of many many moons ago

but like I say and held my hands up to I don’t look at him in a very fair way anymore
he can do no right, scoring a couple against a kids team means nothing even Wes scored and he was only on for 10 minutes

best he moves  on
he’s has nothing to offer us anymore in my jaundiced view

[cdbearsfan]

Long-term, it may be best he moves on. Short-term, we don't have much option. I'd be tempted to play some kid, no idea who, up front at Fulham so that Kodj is definitely available for Leicester. That's assuming Wesley is out and we can't recruit too quickly, of course.

Play that Cameron Archer for me over Kod any day of the week
Give him a go he’ll bust his balls for us

[Chris Smith]

Kodjia plays for Kodjia FC not Aston Villa. Kodjia FC are crap.
