Not that we would want to have him for more than 2 years but the option to sell him then rather than lose entirely would be nice? It's about time we stopped offering long contracts, two year deal for a player who isn't likely to be a first team player week in week out and hasn't pulled up any trees in the last season or two. If it works out we extend his contract. Sensible running of the club is finally returning. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is quite sensible. Ultimately if he is good, he will get an extension; if he's not good, then we are not lumbered with him ala Richards/McCormack. Welcome Jota. I think a very sensible purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 welcome Jota. but damn, considering he has been at Brentford since 2014 and Brum since 2017, his English isnt great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 2 year with an option I expect, and even if not I will agree with that, He isn't a marquee signing, keeps him hungry. A £4m signing now is like a £1m signing back in the day. You don't want to be lumbered with long contracts for these punts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 2 year deal is great. If he turns out to be rubbish we can probably pay him off. If he is good we get a bargain. No risk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're left a bit exposed if he turns out to be brilliant as someone can just pinch him on a free, but I guess we can afford to do that if our outlay is only £4m. It may suggest that the club hope to be bringing in much higher calibre players in two year's time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Keyblade Posted June 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2019 Honestly think this is an excellent signing all things considered. And by excellent I don't mean he's an excellent player or that he's a marquee signing or anything, but that the deal itself is excellent. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted June 5, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 5, 2019 If he proves himself within 6 months then a new contract will surely be his. Super sensible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junxs Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 2 years is a bit odd, I guess if he's good we could give him a new improved deal at the end of his first season. If he's not all that he won't be sticking around like McCormack and Richards for half a decade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Two year is. Good gives him a incentive to earn a new one. Smart move. If he flops he leaves and we haven't made a huge loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 If we get relegated we have him for a year then can let him go, if we stay up we have him for another season and then can upgrade to someone else. If he turns out to be really good we can always extend. Seems a sound bit of business (unless he turns out to be utter shit, but I'm confident Smith knows he can get performances out of him).

Some people just struggle with languages I suppose. I was talking to a bloke on a plane a few years ago who lives in Italy with his wife, they’re both English originally, and she was fluent after living there for years, and he couldn’t manage more than the odd sentence.
