    From various sources. At present I would dispute that he's correct. Probably down to just money again.

    New Aston Villa striker Jonathan Kodjia - who joined Roberto Di Matteo's side for a fee that could rise to a Championship-record £15m from Bristol City this summer - has given his honest opinion on the Robins and the difference between his new club and his former employers, saying he has joined a "better team and better club"

    Let's see who finishes higher.

    one Tammy Abraham one Tammy Abraham.
    if Kojak is worth 15 million,what the hell is Tammy worth.

    why read the thread and why comment on it..
    forums are a base on which people may have an opinion, differ with others opinions, encourage communication, allow people to take part in various challenges.
    Not everything is to ones taste, or invites comments or participation.. Kodija is a topical event so any positive comment on it is worthy of it's being made

    Kodija .. good business .. good goals ...bad attitude .. whether brought on by his agent who pockets around a half a million or not ... negative tick in his CV box

    Hardly the controversial statement the Post is trying to make it out to be. I think 99% of people would agree that Villa is a bigger club than City.

    I'm sure he's on more money than he was here, but I think his main motivation is progressing his career - people weren't concerned by his 'lack of loyalty and respect' when he moved to us from Angers, who had actually been promoted to Ligue 1.

    He was a twunt for refusing to play/train at the end, but don't try to revise history and say he didn't do well for us when he was here - people'll say Abraham is better now, but in the likelihood that he goes on loan to a Premiership club next season instead of us, people'll come up with a reason why they never rated him either.

    The chances of us keeping Tammy next season are virtually Nil- Its just as well there is no recall clause, at least we will have him for this season- Carries on scoring the way he has been, this is a future star and England international for sure-I have the feeling that we will be honoured that he even played for us-

    I think if we somehow managed to get promoted (!), then hopefully we would've wormed our ways into his affections enough to persuade him back, though I think Conte is a big fan and was umming and ahhing about whether to let him go on loan even this season.

    Barring an unfortunate injury, I can't not see him getting an England call up at some point.

    You'll be calling for a replacement for him at Xmas if he even goes 3 games without a goal!

    Think Tammy would be ok, seems a very mature and pleasant young man- Conte did think long and hard and the fact that he already has 8 goals will make people sit up- Yes, promotion for us might give us a chance-

    I would like to see others contributing to goals in the onion bag,at present this young man is doing it on his own.
    But i saw in the first 20 minutes playing he was special.

    on the plus side we are "coaching him on, and giving him valuable game time" so with about 40 to go on loan next season ! Chelsea MAY WELL ENTRUST US WITH ANOTHER, we have a reasonable record with young Prem players outside the squad!

    Because I liked him, but I could not understand that you started a thread on him then claimed you didn't care. That's why I questioned it

    He was making decisions in his own world. Most would make the same decision for that sort of money, its human nature.

    However, his comments in the link are ill advised and I have lost respect for him, it doesn't change the fact and never will that he was a very good player for us.

    This will read worse than it sounds. But being reminded is why I stopped doing some of these quizzes.

    And I wont forget that he probably turned our annual figures into a lot better than it has been for a long time.

    A great signing, a fabulous first season in England.

    A mercenary and a disappointment as a person and representative to himself, his family, country, and Bristol City.

    Ultimately a bit of a Twat ! L'histoire has nailed you Monsieur

    I vividly remember him being slated by the fickles when he left..Those with a great deal of football knowledge believe Kodjia is worth £15m.. We will see.

    He is history to me.

    I must admit his comments (Kodjia) created some distain from me but at the risk of some criticism I am a Bristol City FC fan, 100 plus %, anything beneficial t0 our club gets my support, he was good for our club in terms of goals and money, as banksy said he is now history but I will welcome him back anytime, except for the 90 minutes of play, that will cost me nothing.

    I understand people with negative feelings, I strongly resent, Coppell, Pulis and detest Holloway to this very day, so I can't throw stones.
