Coxbenchram Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 MORE JOTA DETAIL It looked like Jota was bound for Craven Cottage with negotiations well advanced, but Harry Redknapp and Birmingham has come in at the last minute with a bigger offer. We've been told a fee of around £6m has been agreed, and the player is on his way to the West Midlands to complete a medical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mckram Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I cannot believe we haven't got this guy in. Massive shame and I'll prepare myself for when he is sold on for £20m ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC1388 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Clearly moving for the money - Brentford to Fulham would mean he wouldnt really have to move house etc as well as going to a club with imo more chance of promotion to Birmingham for a bigger pay cheque Still if Birmingham's offer isn't too ridiculous we should hijack the move!

MackworthRamIsGod Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 This proves we don't have the resources to sign the players that Rowett wants. If anyone at our club uses the line "it isn't a buyers market" sack them, sack them now! Jota was supposedly our number 1 target at one point, and he would have been way ahead of Lawrence for me, 6 million is ridiculously cheap. Birmingham City, another club stepping over us on the way up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Interesting this one. Either we dont have the £6 million transfer fee? Our manager doesn't want him? or simply Arry's Dog has offered an obscene amount of wages? They did offer John Terry £100,000 a week as Villa did. A shame for us as I would have liked him as he would have brought an extra bit of quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 It's Harry. The wages are going to be silly, and there'll be daft add-ons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretsquirrel Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Its got to be down to wages-I would have thought Fulham would have made more sense to him(possibly not his agent though) -harry has a good track record in not caring about clubs wage bills and they all have trouble clearing up his mess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalf's shin pads Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Interesting if true (and we don't know what kind of wages are involved) It's all about opinions of course but for me Jota is the best player we have been linked with all summer. To hear that he might be off to Birmingham for a similar fee we payed for Lawrence is surprising. I can't help but think we may have missed out on a player who would undoubtedly have improved us in a position we desperately needed and at a fairly reasonable price in today's market. I'm not blaming Rowett. He obviously rates Lawrence very highly and as manager he will sink or swim on the decisions he makes. It is also looking more and more likely that either Mel is righteously enforcing a sell to buy policy and/or things are far tighter at the club financially than they have been in previous seasons. Rowett must therefore weigh up the pros and cos far more carefully than former managers before moving on a player. Rebuilding on a limited budget can't be easy. The ten year old in me is still having a bit of a sulk though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am with you there, we signed all of them from teams in the premiership last season but that's not good enough for some of our fantasy managers.

rynny Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I would rather us spend what we can afford and not break the bank on any player. If his wage demands are higher than our wage structure I am glad we are not in for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
