To be honest I'd have loved him to come to us but don't trust Bruce would know what to do with him anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn1982 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Bruce has signed 2 RW this window when we've been crying out for an AM. From what I've see no of Elmohamady he's not as good as Adomah so he's a pointless signing. Jota going to Blues for £6m is good business but He's exactly what we need. On the plus side he won't be able to rip us apart next game!! We've made some good signings this window but so far it's left me really uninspired. I'm not sure though if that's more to do with Bruce. The DR says 2/3 maybe 4/5 transfers today hopefully we will finish with a flurry. Hijack Jota and sign an attacking LB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Very few teams are buying at the minute. Probably why we are finding it hard to get rid of our surplus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Gutted about Jota, but tbh if we buy any more attacking players then we're just adding to an already bloated squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jota is exactly the kind of player we need and is a steal at £6m. Would have preferred him to Elmohamady and Snodgrass any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Id have taken a hit and taken 6m for mccormack if we could get jota for 6m. They have more attacking strikers than we do as it stands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arry will just set him up with his accountant and something will be sorted. Offer him £20k a week, which after tax is £80k per week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed the price is right but could it be that we may not either have £6m available to spend or be able to spend £6m currently (due to FFP)? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
