Their technically most-gifted player. Deano knows him from his Brentford days and will no doubt be able to get the best out of him. They get 35K a week off their wage bill. We get Gardner, who was never going to be anywhere near our first-team, off our books and bring in a player who at the least will be in the mix for a place in the 18.

All sounds good to me. Low cost and low risk. Squad strengthened.

Plus Gardner was on just over £20k a week! So for a diff of circa £15k a week its a good deal

Apparently Suso had him at a Spanish club too.

Pleased with this. Thought he was the bomb at Brentford. Think he can step up.

Looked decent against us last season. Smith knows him, and must rate him as a good character to have in the squad. Better than Adomah.

He was taken off at their shit hole wasn't he? Very underwhelming I must say, would have thought he was far too lightweight for the top division. Carles Gil comes to mind.

Reminds me of Carlos, as a squad player he'll be OK.

According to my Twitter feed, MOMS are saying medicals today for both players.  I have no idea of the veracity of this, just thought I'd post it as I never have any ITK.

If this happens it will be funny to watch the reactions of the fanbase - not necessarily on here - but expectations high that the rich owners can spend now the shackles of FFP are off and the first signing is a guy from Blues who didn't play much last year!!!

The funniest part is we are giving them GG who is pish as the Scots might say.

This is starting to remind me of the GT days.

Oh for a season like the last time we returned from the 2nd div. sighs whistfully

Yeah, I'd probably take that right now.

Must have been wiped from the memory banks, due to it being bad news. Sadly still can’t wipe O’Leary out though.

Is there anything to this Jota rumour? All I’ve seen is a load of people getting excited on Twitter, people with “ITK” mates and the local press picking up on it all.
