Doesn't have the presence of Huddlestone or Thorne but that boy has brilliant vision - excellent passer of the ball. I've said for a while Woods is a player I'd like to see at Derby, would be great as the second DM next to Huddlestone/Thorne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weight of expectation on the players at Pride Park is something you can feel a mile off. It can't be helping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if that wasn't a factor - as per a quote from Dean Smith, Jota won't play for another Championship team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The expectation here is huge, but that is just part and parcel of playing for a big club in front of 30 odd thousand most weeks. You have to have a strong mentality to do it. Please dont take this the wrong way but its much easier for an unproven player to express themselves infront of 9000 or so at Brentford than it would be for them here. Maybe its us fans that should look at ourselves as well as the players and ask ourselves if we could improve the way we "support" the team?

We have no one like Jota quick with instant control that leaves a player in his wake at Derby IMO maybe that's why we want Lawrence but I'd prefer you're man he's very good. Oh well looks like we won't get him so good luck for the new season lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I will eat... one of my less preferred pizzas, but one that I can still enjoy, if we sign Jota. I'm THAT confident we wont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams that overachieve (quality-wise) tend to do so against expectation, I guess proving people wrong is a motivator and draws a team closer together.

Papahet Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Wish we'd stick in a bid for the guy, test the water . 6-7m plus a choice of a player: Russell, Butterfield, Vydra, Weimann... Hardly a bad deal for both clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm personally not really a fan of pineapple in general - but I am not entirely against a sweet topping if it goes well with the other toppings. I'm the type who likes to experiment with food stuffs to see what goes together, rather than decide based on how it sounds. For example, if you're the type who can stomach Marmite, it compliments Tuna really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Willow Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Accordingly to the internet sources Brentford are expecting to cash in about 8 million pounds for him. Jota likes the style of football DCFC plays, but I think he isn't coming to DCFC. By the way, he was discovered and brought to Brentford by Ted Kuntsen and Ricardo Larandart. SWOT analysis of his playing style says: He is actually not strong enough to play in the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
