The team Jota plays for are currently 23rd in the table without a win to their credit so I won't lose too much sleep about him just yet.

Palace are in the bottom two without a point or a goal, but that doesn't mean a team signing Benteke would be getting a dud.

Yes, but that doesn't suit my snidey argument against Small Heath so we'll overlook that...

Brentford are managed by the bloke a lot seem to think should be the Villa manager. Hadn't realised they aren't in the top 6.

A lot of meltdown from our fans on Facebook and Twitter over Jota. Can't believe we're a bit envious of that shower but he is better than any of our attacking players, bar Kodjia. People tweeting Dr Tony telling him to hijack the bid and begging him to sign him is pathetic though.

Surely if he has a choice he'll go to Fulham?

And even there, they're punching significantly higher than their weight than we are.

And surely if he doesn't have a choice he'll develop temporary paralysis in his contract signing hand until 23:01 tonight?

V. Good player - if we hadn't of signed shoddy then he would have be worth looking at for sure

Jota move to SHA off, personal terms can't be agreed.

He'd have been their best summer signing by a mile.

He was instrumental when Brentford tore us a new one in the 3-0 defeat.

Small Heath now in talks with Alex Song aswell apparently. They're either going to gel quickly and storm into the top 6, or Harry will leave them bankrupt with lots of unhappy players wanting out.

It was a fake account that tweeted that. Fooled a lot of people on there.

Yes Jota, exactly what we needed, our 19th attacking midfielder.

Usual Villa trick of signing a player who had one good game against us (I'm sure he's had more, cannot say I watch Brentford mind and if you say you do, you're lying). That said, Brentford's best player was that big fucking hole we had behind our midfield.

It doesn't matter one jota to me whether he signs for them or not and who is he by the way?

How many times have you seen him play? Apparently Fulham were going to win the title if they bought him.

Its 2 isn't it. Your view would have been shit the second time if you went as well.

Edit: Scratch that, you've seen him once, as they hadn't signed him when we played at Villa Park.
