But we have to call him JOTTA in a strong Birmingham accent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 good piece of business, 4m and Gardner for their best player? Are we spurs in disguise?!?!?! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy81 Posted May 31, 2019 Visiting Supporter Share Posted May 31, 2019 Not a big risk at that fee but I always got the impression he was a bit one sided. Isn't his main weapon to cut in from the right on his left foot and just leather it? I expect Premier League defences would handle him quite well, but as I say, 4m is nothing.

choffer Posted May 31, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 31, 2019 Saw at lot of him in both spells at Brentford. Proper man-crush territory. Was very disappointed when he went to Birmingham as I knew it wouldn’t work out for him there. Part of me is excited to see him in a Villa shirt but the other part of me worries that he is sometimes a bit streaky and we won’t be able to carry him when he’s on a cold run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 For a few mill he will be a decent signing though I don't expect him to pull up many trees. We are well short in that position and we need a left footer who can get inside. Decent squad signing but I am not tugging away at the prospect.

MaVilla Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 To be fair, i dont care one iota that he was SHA, he wasnt/isnt a "die hard SHA supporter, or caused Villa club or fans any crap or issues, hes a good player (probably their best player), and now hes joining us for effectively peanuts, whats not to like? Will be a great rotation option, or he could make the right wing his own?, good luck to him i say, welcome to Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He plays with his head up, has typically Spanish technique , a good cross and shot, but you're never sure if you're watching him live or if its a slow motion replay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prem capable you think or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I was wrong about Smith so probably wrong about Jota but only yesterday I think I referenced him as one of a glut of Brentford players to have struggled after leaving. Fingers crossed he rediscovers himself here as I think he's been fairly average for the shite hasn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He runs like he's still attached to one of those training parachutes. Edited May 31, 2019 by Brumerican Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 What is going on with this FFP rubbish?, Villa Report states: "The EFL might be expected to ratify the transfers with both clubs being monitored over spending.

After his return from Eibar, it took a while for him to settle back and I think a most felt he’d sold himself short in his choice of destination. If he can be aa good as he was at his best there and do it consistently, he will be a favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all honesty, its a good bit of business, if he does well we have got him at an absolute steal, if he doesnt Deano has taken a really cheap punt on him, nothing to lose, everything to gain tbh as far as i can see. "clever" business from Deano and the recruitment team.........havent said that about Villa recruitment for.......flippin ages.
