Brentford sign players based on results and potential which kills them two! But I see your humour! If there is a positive from this then at least he isn't going to Fulham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GadFly Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Can't believe this thread has gone on for so long, given the lack of evidence that we're in for this guy. Smacks of desperation to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsy Ram Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Surely it's villa and not Birmingham? Also what's the source? This player would tick so many boxes for us. Not really excited about any of our signings so far apart from Huddelstone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rample Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Part of me thinks Jota is a huge gamble, he obviously has talent and a high sperm count, but in essence his form over 6 months this year is the only time he's really impressed and he doesn't look like he's carrrying it on this season so far. Lawrence a better option for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S8TY Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Linked with Jerome but not in for Jota at 6m..... Defo will make a difference to any team in the championship, perhaps we are in for Forestieri instead....lol..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be a fantastic signing for anyone in his division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S8TY Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I know arry likes to spend other peoples money but you have to admit he's very good at getting players in....no doubt we'll see him on SSN this evening leaning out of his car window saying he's not doing any business... then signing 3 new players lol perhaps we should've kept him on as transfer negotiator...take the weight off of GR's shoulders..

Kernow Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 It doesn't matter what the fee is if the wages are going to be huge. If Jota wanted £15k a week then there would be a lot more teams in for him. John Terry was available on a free. If he wanted £15k a week then I'm sure we'd have been in for him too. Birmingham offered him £100k a week, that's pure madness. Sam Gallagher who we 'missed out on'. He's been reported to be on 43 grand a week at Birmingham. It's the first case I've heard of where a player has got a wage rise for going out on loan. There's potentially £85,000 a week in wages for Jota and Gallagher but some would have been thrilled to see both join. The same people would then call the club and the board idiots when FFP was eventually failed. Not signing players you can't afford is probably a good idea when you come to think of it. Birmingham, unless promoted, will likely suffer for doing the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennington Ram Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Not sure Birmingham are signing players to play a particular style either... Jota has played well at Brentford, but presumably they know what to do with him and he's very settled. Could be massive waste of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 It's odd because he's such a fine player, but despite 100 pages of thread, I'm pretty sure our splendid recruitment team hasn't suggested we go for Jota, even as the price tumbles. Similarly, they were never interested in the likes of Knockaert and Forestieri until the price went sky high. We probably will show interest next season for a bargain 20 million after he's done well (again). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsnip Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I got drunk last night and had one of those weird beery dreams where it turned out we never even tried to get Jota but bought Cameron Jerome instead. Horrible it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
