I'll put my neck on the line (somewhat) and say he'll either be at Bayern, Leipzig, Leverkusen or us at the end of the window. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it not a loan to buy for about 6m? In other words they have already agreed to buy him but have knocked the paying for him down the line by 12 months.

Weird it isn’t just a transfer with the amount deferred (like most transfers are in reality) but I guess some accounting and maths has happened for reasons and suchlike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know, but if so then yes.....although they will be paying us a loan fee for this season in addition to the £6m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 It’s got to be one more in, it just has to be. Please don’t leave us short up top again like last season Villa. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second question in the conf. That was from before the Jota release today, where he states if anyone goes we may bring someone in, so I think you’re wide of the mark saying we are done. To release Jota we must have something in the pipeline. Surely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition to this, Nagelsmann has said after tonight's match that RBL want another wide attacker if they can find a deal where the price is right. Hopefully they can't afford him still like before.

useless Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Me no think Jota going bye-bye will have any bearing on whether we bring anyone else in or not, he probably wouldn't have even made the squad if he'd have stayed and it's not as if him leaving suddenly leaves us short of wingers, we've still got Grealish, El Ghazi, Trezeguet and Traore to play there and Watkins who's also played whole seasons as a winger. Was kind of expecting another forward regardless, not so sure now, but that won't stop me keep checking on deadline day and I'm sure if that passes without someone coming in we will be linked to championship players until that window closes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted October 3, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted October 3, 2020 I'd be very shocked if we didn't bring in another attacking player after letting both Samatta and Jota go. If it's not Rashica on Monday then I'd guess it will be King some time next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Games are going to come thick and fast this year and we will need options. More than what we have. I've got my fingers crossed we can bring in one more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying we won't sign anyone else, but I wouldn't look anything into releasing Jota, he wasn't going to be in the squad, was getting nowhere near the pitch. I think we can't to an agreement that was a compromise, fair on the player allowing him to seek games elsewhere. By letting him go, we haven't lost anything from the 25 man squad so may not impact the transfer strategy at all 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We now have one less option than we did yesterday. Edited October 3, 2020 by Okonokos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
