I'm taking it with a sliiiiight pinch of salt. The S London reporting with the Martin saga seemed a bit suspect back in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted McMinn Football Genius Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 It's not our problem, good player just too expensive personally. Let good old 'Arri' destroy another old club with his slapdash approach to financials. Between him and Bruce the city of Birmingham must be flourishing with all this $$$$ splashing about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I wanted Jota, but them again 2 years ago i thought Diaigouraga was a Brentford player worth buying. Released by Leeds a few days ago, so obviously not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superfit Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Listening to Jota being interviewed on Sky after completing his move yesterday made me think how lucky we are not landing this guy. It was embarrassing listerning to him struggling to think of reasons why he joined Birmingham apart from he will be playing for 'a top manager of England' All about the money.

Get over yourself, why should footballers not get as much as they can during their short career? Why would he care if he's a Birmingham, Fulham or Derby? He has no affiliation with these clubs, it's a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I actually don't think 40k a week is that bad for Jota. I don't think anyone will be calling it a bargain, no, but in comparison to what some others are paid at this level then I don't necessarily see an issue for what is a proven performer, certainly with the ability to win matches and probably play consistently at a higher level. I guess whichever way you look at it, it's still 20k-a-week less than Assombalonga and I know who I'd rather have in my team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without having the luxury of seeing his bank statement, I can only go off what's been reported: http://www.nottinghampost.com/sport/football/transfer-news/middlesbrough-land-nottingham-forest-star-194709 It's likely b*******, but so could be Jota on 40k. In fact, I'd go as far in saying that 90% of the figures mentioned for wages are fabricated and 100% of them certainly don't tell the whole story, i.e. over/under stating bonuses and clauses.

Assombalonga is a good shout, Lingard with 100K would be better as he is pretty similar to Jota, just not as good. Of course, you could go abroad and pick for example Dybala with his 50K per week... Salaries in England have and are still rising amazingly fast, thanks to Sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rample Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 The guy is fast looking like a nobwand. 99% certain if Birmingham don't go up, even if he underperforms, he'll be sulking around and looking to move again. Still only played 6 months of decent football in his career and is so much riskier than Lawrence. Might set the league on fire this season or maybe not. Will be interesting to sit back and watch.

Would he still be looking like a 'nobwand' in your view if we'd matched the wages and chosen us instead of Birmingham? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No will be better of with Lawrence long term Brentford fans say he is very inconsistent and sulky Surprising no Prem teams would take a gamble on him always looks a threat when I've seen him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Following the fans forum and the transfers the club wanted to make and the transfers the club didn't want to make it appears that Jota wasn't likely to join us based on transfer fee and wage demands. we the supporters were setting our sights to high or too rich. I think from now on reality has taken hold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
