This is why I always advise my friends to climb in backwards to make sure their testicles are the last body part to come through the window. It's safer that way I was skeptical of the advice at the time, but I can now fully endorse this method. My testicles are in tip-top shape, and have never been rounder. Thanks @Rob182! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I almost don't want a player to be announced this afternoon just because @Delphinho123 will spend the rest of the day with a smug look on his face after lucking his way to a Wednesday announcement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichfield Dean Posted July 17, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 17, 2019 2 hours ago, thunderball said: Not according to Birmingham Live who suggest he has gone "home" from the US to mull over his options, not which house he is going to rent? Man City are clearly on board, his work permit was apparently through yesterday but it sounds far from a done deal with the player. I wouldnt get too excited yet... Surely he can't get the work permit approved if he hasn't decided where he's going to work yet? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaCas Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 15 hours ago, Kiwivillan said: Jota is massive upgrade on Adomah/ Green. Very pleased with transfer activity to date but I have to disagree with this. In the Championship Jota might have been a slight upgrade, but in the PL his known lack of workrate could be a problem - we are not going to be dominating the ball and so an effective shield in front of an inexperienced full back (if Guibert starts) will be crucial It’s a moot point as Once transfer activity has been completed I’d be very surprised if Jota will have a regular first team role - I think he was bought as cover for Grealish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jota is fine running forward but not so much tracking back - Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy to have him I just don’t see him as a starter, and don’t see him as a “massive improvement” especially in the PL where we will not be dominating teams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've swapped an aging workhorse winger, who appeared to lose a lot of his pace and some of his trickery last season, and may lose even more going into the 19/20 season, for a younger, more skillful player who our coaches believe is Premier League quality. I can see why some might think Jota is a massive improvement. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It moved back to 4.00pm UK time instead and was released on time. The rumours were Luiz would be announced with the away kit but it doesn't seem to have materialized.

But this isn't like arguing about whether Tim Sherwood was a good manager or a bad manager. We're talking about whether a player was a 'slight' improvement, a 'massive' improvement or somewhere in between. I can't imagine anyone thinks that Jota is a downgrade on an aging Adomah.

striker Posted July 17, 2019 Visiting Supporter Share Posted July 17, 2019 3 hours ago, John said: I think we would be better to do just a little bit more in this window, rather than to wait until half way through the season to fill gaps that we are aware of now. This all day long. Plus if you get a keeper in now he will have bonded with the defence well before January arrives rather than buying someone else for the run in particularly if relegation is going to be an issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
