I hope for SE and CD's sakes that he's made of steel, not glass. https://x.com/NumbToLosing/status/1928064930499932382

They've never been quite the same since Bertie left.

He looks very quick and skilful and can finish. Some good assists as well.

Is that why Palace were looking at him?

Replacement?

The BBC, The Athletic, Fabrizio Romano have all said it’s done.

Let’s hope he is as great as pre injury Jimmy Danger. The only other Côte d'Ivoire player in our history*




*nerds might point out that Dane Jores Okore could count as he was born there and has dual citizenship.

Kodjia was such a frustrating player.

Sgnificant talent, but with absolutely no conception of the fact that sometimes, it makes sense to give the ball to a team mate.

The opposite of Watkins in that sense.

He was but he was also outrageous by way of the types of goals he scored. A poor man’s Benteke in a sense that he had it all but there were times he’d try to do too much himself. The injury ruined him.

I remember seeing a link to him in January so I watched his youtube vids and, for me, he's exactly what we need.

[…]

From the highlights I’ve seen, he does that quick ‘receive and turn’ thing that Kamara and Tielemans do in midfield, and has a burst of acceleration to go past defenders ( like Ramsay when he’s in form).

Quite looking forward about seeing him in our team as it appears to show a coherent plan in squad building - he’s well suited to the right or left role bursting into the space between opposition CB and FB. Seems like that would match up well with Ollie in the middle and overlapping full backs giving width.
