I’d take 50 for Jota but I don’t think they would actually be in for him at that price.
Thing is, would we get 2 players of enough quality for 50/60 million? Would have thought you need to spend that on one. Think we need to see how Podence turns out before thinking of offloading JotaUK tabs are running with the Jota story now -recycled version. £50m.
Hypothetically would anyone do that? It's Utd so you'd rinse another £10m out of them and we have Neto and Podence who can replace him. I'd be tempted if that £60m was invested in 2 top signings to take us to the next level, in addition to say the £50m or so we are likely to spend anyway.
I think it was Kenny who said it was inevitable we'd lose someone eventually and if it were Jota the drop off wouldn't be as large as if it if were Boly, Raul or Neves for example. My biggest concern would be that this could unsettle others. From Jota's perspective I'm guessing the relative European positions will make a difference. With the City situation it's feasible that either us or Utd could be in the CL, EL or neither at the moment.
in his Athletic column David Ornstein says we pulled the plug on a late move for Edmond Tapsoba in January.
He's already gone to Leverkusen for €18m.And that we might be back in for him during the summer.
Guardian has linked us to Saint-Maximin today...
He'd be great in the Championship for them.I'd still be interested in Morgan Sanson, who Villa are now supposedly also interested in.
