We badly need rotation on both wings, and AEG and Trez remain good options for that. Jota was never going to break into the squad in that way.

MaVilla Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I liked jota, granted he would get in the first 11, but I think its debatable whether he's better than el ghazi. Was our best player against Stoke. I wish him the best of luck, will he go back to Spain?, if he went to the right champ team he would be a great player in that league. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 (edited) I would have thought he can benefit from a termination assuming he is allowed to take on a new club contract while be paid by us. Assume he has 18 months left on 25 k. We offer him termination with 20 k pw for 12 months and he's free to seek employment somewhere else. We save 30 k and he can probably make 10 k extra from the right employer. And he can maybe play football matches, which matters to some players tbf.

Xela Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 They must have reached a compromise on his remaining contract 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Never in a million years PL quality - but a championship club would do well to pick him up on a free. Although I think he will probably go back to Spain. Maybe it's a departure on some sort of compassionate grounds. He's never struck me as a trouble maker. Good luck whatever he decides.

The_Steve Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 He was only on a two-year deal, I don't think the cost was that high in terms of wages. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a very good point, so we’re just paying him up to June 2021 and that’s the contract bought out presumably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mikeyjavfc Posted October 3, 2020 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2020 Probably been told he is not in our 25 man squad so this is the fairest thing to do if we couldn’t negotiate a sale or loan. Good luck to the guy, has a touch of class but missing a yard (or several yards) of pace for the premier league. His pass for Wesleys goal against Everton will always be remembered. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I think he would be a great player for someone like Norwich whilst they are in the champ, they like to play and he would suit that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlack Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Good decision and does suggest we may be after one more. Assuming this was on the cards for a while it's possible the club was doing him a favour giving him time off the bench against Stoke. He looked good so you'd expect there'll be a few championship clubs that will take a punt on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
