Pleased to see our Egyptian Football Fruit starts

Oh dear I hope someone publishes a pre match convo with Deano telling us what’s wrong with Wesley ....I hope yesterday’s rumours about broken leg aren’t true on his own thread

[Dazvillain]

Mods, please delete, Toronto beat me to it !

[mr underhill]

too right.

Anyone know when Kodjia is back?

I would have thought if Elmo is back then Kodjia would be too, they both could do with some game time with the new players but theres only one game left after today for Jimmy

If it was true surely it would have come out by now.

Really emphasises the need to get another forward in.

[Toronto Villa]

Yep. I know Kodjia will be an option but a forward has to be high on the agenda now along with a keeper. Dare I say it two forwards ideally as Kodjia isn’t exactly a spring chicken and I have some doubts about his PL ability.

Kodjia was playing at the ACoN at least 10 days after Elmo as Ivory Coast got to the semis didn’t they? I’d imagine he’s still on his Holidays.

Wes posted a photo about being ready for the PL yesterday so he's hardly likely to have a broken leg is he ?

Not to mention i haven't seen a single bit of evidence he even played against Kuwait

I would like to know why he's not playing though and also it shows how woefully under stacked we are up front

Wesley has played in all the friendlies, I'm guessing they just want to give Davis & Hogan a run out today - nothing more sinister than that

They've both played in all the friendlies also

If he was on the bench, I might agree. The fact that he's not even on the bench suggests that the rumours of an injury were true.
