Sold a striker before we are able to register another striker? Nonsensical decision making.

The Aston Villa I know has more class than that.Thanks Kodj and good luck!Maybe he's been a total arsehole and deserves no thanks whatsoever.Even McCormack got a thank you, however insincere.True. Maybe Kodhia refused to play for us ever again, even with the fact we had no other strikers.

Nonsensical decision making.If we do go down, the triumvirate of Purslow, Suso and Smith will be roasted for this, among other things of course. Completely agree that this is next-level weird. Would rather have lost Kodjia in summer for nothing and still have him available for exactly the kind of crisis we currently find ourselves in. Even if he was being arsey and didn't want to be here, this doesn't look clever at all from the club. All Purslow had to do was tell the buyers that they needed to wait another week until we could confirm paperwork for our replacement.

Was he really an option in the team or on the bench.It's a bit like having an old car that you leave in the garage and use the bus. One day you decide to buy a new car. You get 'We buy any car' in and sell the old banger before buying your new car. The wife then turns around and says "what are you going to do if you need to go out in the car?".

Rusty analogy that!Puns aside I don't get how you can suggest he wouldn't be a viable option given the situation we're in. People are suggesting starting Vassilev - an 18-year-old midfielder with no starts under his belt - up front by himself. That's how bad things are. Even a disinterested Kodjia was clearly the best option available to us for tomorrow's game. But nah, we've sold him. More old rope off the books and a few quid in the bank, great.
Didn't look interested? He set one up in his last full game and scored 2/3 goals in his previous appearance.
