rodders0223 13,644 Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 Be a good player for us next year. Realistically we will buzzing next year in the Championship at picking him up for 2m. Dont get you nothing nowadays. Argue about was he what we needed this year, which he wasnt but he will in time look like a good buy and a bargain. Imo! Link to post Share on other sites
WooJung 395 Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 We signed him to fill up the squad, which we needed, and did so for a very reasonable price. We've done much worse business than jota this summer... Link to post Share on other sites
ChinlessWonder 37 Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 He was signed with the expectation we would be in the championship this season, i think we wanted a creative wide/behind the striker player to come in if Grealish got injured, we did say last season that we didn't have anyone to do that. I think if we had been in the championship this season he would most likely have been a decent player for us but he does look laughably bad at this level. Link to post Share on other sites

Hence our position. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

gaz90 57 Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 I'd rather he was sold than loaned out, but villareport is probably talking rubbish like usual anyway. Link to post Share on other sites

He only has 1 year left on his contract anyway, so literally zero point in loaning him out, we should keep him around until his contract expires, sure he can play a good part in the cups etc to take some pressure of the first 11.

VillaChris 7,065 Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 If we sign well in the summer he'll be miles away from first 11 so I can see him being loaned out. Link to post Share on other sites
sne 20,200 Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 Hope there isn't place for him in our 25 man squad. Would be a bit of a failure if there is. Nothing against the guy but he just isn't good enough for the PL due to his lack of pace. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

NurembergVillan 22,897 Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 Send him up to Celtic carrying a suitcase with £20m in it. They can keep all that and send Edouard the opposite direction. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
dudevillaisnice 3,000 Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 If he is still in the squad once the transfer window has closed we have failed in the market. Link to post Share on other sites
hippo 3,750 Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 Never could see what we were thinking shelling out hard cash for a guy who only fleetingly cut it in the championship £4m down the pan. Link to post Share on other sites

Yes - but we could have just let them have him for nowt. As it was we coughed up a further £4m for Jota. Who was never going to be good enough. Link to post Share on other sites
Five Ken McNaughts 525 Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 Seems a long time ago now, but Jota played an absolutely key role in that 2-0 home win vs Everton. Were those three points worth the transfer fee? I’d say so. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

useless 10,971 Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 Don't think we even paid a transfer fee for him, it was a straight swap with Gardner and a contribution towards Gardner's wages. That's why Jota only joined us on a two year deal, because we essentially just took over his small heath contract. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
