Aston Villa's Wasted Millions.

Pretty sure we made a profit on Knight so he doesn't belong on the list.

Consett play them at home early November. Comments from the stand will involve advice on security gates and legovers for the elderly.

He won’t be there by November, couple of pre season friendlies for publicity and he’ll disappear like he did at Aldershot

Didn't Bruce pay £9m for Scott Hogan?

Emile Heskey

(If that bloke can play for England, then you know what? I can as well)

Nobody disses Emile.

At least it said on the internet that he'd scored goals. At the very least he was industrious enough to fake the Wiki page.

[dcdavecollett]

Horrifyingly, you may not be far off the mark, Monty.

It was clear that Bruce had little idea how to bring the best out of Hogan or coach a team to give him the chances he needed. Presumably he was regarded as a goalscorer as the numbers showed he could score goals (for half of that season, at least).

Kodjia was the same, in my view, but Jimmy D did his own thing in wondrous ways and found the net regularly.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Kodjia was pretty good for us and top scorer one season. Quite often stuck him on the wing, rather than directly up front too.

I won't have Kodjia as wasted millions. He was an excellent buy for where we were, and IIRC we were all falling over ourselves when Cote d'Ivore got knocked out of the ACN early so we could have him back. We just outgrew him.

Yep, agreed.

[PeterWithesShin]

Kodjia was never the same after the injury, something we seem to say about a fair few of our strikers. Before that though he was very good for us.

[curiousorange]

Kodjia, for me, was one of those great Championship players you hear about when you're struggling in the Prem and you think, "it's okay, at least when we go down we'll be able to have a player like that who'd score thirty goals, easy". Except we signed McCormack first.
