Do you mean Jota?

No, Diego Joto who's at Porto on loan from Atleti that Jinky posted some tenuous link to this afternoon.

It's Diogo Jota Ben.

 

[Nando]

Ha. Oh dear! Apologies, Alan.

 

[Lycan]

He's fucking class. Even more unrealistic than the Talisca rumours last year.

Ha. Oh dear! Apologies, Alan.

All good, just had me a bit confused.

Someone last week said we'd be almost surely signing Salvatore Agra, who plays the same position as Jota. That is far more likely IMO, but I'm very wary of signing anyone from CD Nacional this season.

Understandably so, my fault entirely.

Concur with Lycan though, no chance of it happening.

He scored against FC United of Manchester*. Get him in.


(*That's Portuguese for Man Utd, right...?)

Does say 'could go' after preseason with Benfica. Sounds like pure speculation to me. Quick look on Transfermkt says he's a Mendes client so maybe a bit of a lazy 2+2=5643541684516684

I clearly need to work on my humour... :icon_smile:

 

[Walnut]

Not surprised as Mendes is his agent. We will get this all summer. If it happens it happens, doesn't bother me one bit

Humour won't be around for the next 48 hours..everything I see at the moment is dark.

Nahhh. Have hope Kenny. Surely people won't vote for more austerity.

You have a record on the last 2 votes of getting it right against what the majority on here are saying...so for the 1st time EVER I hope you are right.

Anyway, back to football bollocks....

Don't hold your breath, that's all I have to say ...

Just watching the under 20's World Cup final. We could do a lot worse than making a loan/permanent move for Adalberto Peñaranda front Watford. Seems like a real talent. Should be available as he's been loaned out all over the place, but at 20 years old, surely he'd want to settle somewhere and get regular games?

Looks quick, technically brilliant and has an eye for goal.

 

[Nando]

He isn't with Watford as he can't get a work permit.

 

[Jinky]

That's weird. Watford own him though?

Either way, decent talent.
