MaVilla Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Amazing that the owners sold Jota behind the back of Monk (it seems). Are they mad or something?, selling probably theirbest or second best player to their biggest rivals behind the back of their manager in return for Gardner and chump change?, then sacking their manager? Oh boy oh boy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted June 25, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 25, 2019 I’m cautiously optimistic about seeing him in the PL... think his kind of play would translate well to football at a higher level. We shall see though obv 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I still can't believe we got this guy for £2m and got rid of Gardner at the same time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken The Villan Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 These stats may require checking (I was sent them by a frustrated blues mate so apologies if wrong) however if accurate his chance creation last season compared to Grealish and Hourihane make this signing look even better value. Chances created from set pieces; Grealish (18), Hourihane (40) and Jota (45). Chances created from open play; Grealish (60), Hourihane (30) and Jota (37). Minutes per created chance; Grealish (38.4), Hourihane (47.4) and Jota (35). Maybe he is here to start on the right after all and not just be a squad player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So will wait and see?, I think he's more likely to be a versatile squad member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If for some reason we sold him in January we would probably get triple what we paid(sadly not 3 Gary Gardners in return) . Jota will probably be one of the lowest Premier League transfers of the season Fine piece of business 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 The fee is no more than 4m and we got rid of gardner. Even if he flops it's been a very small transfer fee so it's not a huge issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
