pintpotvilla Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Went to Brentford a couple of years ago He tore us ragged, scored 2 I think in a 0-3 defeat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post useless Posted May 31, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2019 Swapping Gardner for Jota with no transfer fee is an absolute bargain, as it stands Green is our only winger that we actually own, so we need some new faces in that department. Their fans are distraught over it, he's their best player, and they thought they'd be getting a big fee for him, but looks like they're just getting Gardner with us subsidizing the wages. 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMitch Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Swapping someone as completely useless to us Garbage Gardner to Blose for their record signing to come here and play as a squad player for us is worth it just for the wind up factor. The scum are already losing their minds over this rumor, let alone if it actually happens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't work out that way but a good squad upgrade on Gardner, has lots of energy, very technical - will do us very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daweii Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 The SHA fans are livid because they see Jota day in and day out. Most of them know that Jota in a team that plays attacking football, and plays with the ball on the ground is going to get the most out of him. Those fans are facing not just losing their star player to a bitter rival, but losing their star player to a team that can use him correctly. Sign this lad up just for the sheer wind up factor alone, I think it'll be a good bit of business once the dust has settled. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejoker Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I massively believe in Dean Smith. Whoever he wants to sign, I am happy with. There’s probably only a couple of players (Adomah and Hutton being the main 2) that he hasn’t improved since joining us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holtend4life Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Makes great sense, get a player In that smith knows is technically good enough for his system and squad, whilst also getting rid of a player that won’t be needed. All for free/nominal fee on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Gardner who is useless to us, in a trade deal for a position we near to strengthen. (I hope he will be a squad player than first team). Even better that Dean worked with him and sold him to Blues for nearly 6m. I would of been happy to get 2m for Gardner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 Are we certain it is a straight swap or are we paying a chunk as well? If it's happening at all that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) I'd definitely take Jota in a swap (plus a small amount of cash) deal for Gardner. Jota would be a rotation wing/number 10 option, Smith will know he can get the best out of him and his stock is currently low so we won't be getting ripped off. A few blues fans at my work have said he can be 'powder puff', but also admitted that he's often been played out of position. Look at it this way, we would essentially be replacing Adomah with Jota in our squad, whilst getting rid of Gardner's wages. All for a lowly sum, probably in the region of £3-5m, I'd imagine.
