Incoming? Jota

[DifferentClass]

If Brum sell him and jug ears that's them going down I reckon.

Will Dean Smith hoover up all of our Brentford and ex Brentford targets?

 

[Muttley]

They'd make chuff all in the shop putting his name on the shirts.

 

[FallowfieldBlade]

If villa are gonna be signing players like that then i aint too worried about villa

 

[Booker4]

Seems we'll be competing with Villa for a few of our targets. Thankful to Norwich for mainly signing German players!

I thought Dean Smith would be more likely to go for Canos, Benerahma or Watkins over Jota.

Just read the article from the Birmingham Live website and it seems its already a done deal and might even be completed today.

Aston Villa are targeting a stunning swoop for Birmingham City's Jota

And Gary Gardner is heading in the opposite direction

He used to be called Diogo Jota, then for some reason he ditched his first name.

Doubt we will be competing with Villa or Norwich. I’ve heard Wilder will give his team a chance in the Prem.
We are either going to surprise everyone or beat Derby’s crap record

Diogo Jota is a completely different and vastly superior player (he has Diogo J on his back, so slightly more expensive for shirt letters)

Oh. Bollocks.

Gerrim signed then.

So you're expecting zero signings?

Evolution not revolution was the phrased used.

I’m sure Wilder has to sign some players to give some depth to the squad.
Maybe though don’t expect us to sign players Villa and Norwich will go for.

Gone to Villa.

End of thread.

 

[Mouth of the South]

I'll be interested to see how he gets on in the Prem and whether he proves to be worth his £50k/week

Think Liverpool and Europe in 5 years were a couple of others.

 

[gavtheblade]

Wipe this thread off.

 

[FriethBlade]

Villa beating Derby was bad news for us. They've got a decent manager and will invest to survive whereas Derby would have been nailed on to go straight back down again

Totally agree and also anyone we want from Brentford will probably go to Villa.

True but only one was said by Wilder.

Are the Brummies spitting feathers about him moving across the city?

 

[Wesolddeano]

tbh, i always thought villa would target players out of our reach financially! whereas, derby will or would have been targetting the same calibre of player.

That's just like me. I evolve, but I don't...revolve...

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

From what I can tell, quite a few Brum fans are quite happy to see the back of him. No idea why as I think he was their most talented player.

 

[Champagneblade]

Do we still have the Gone Elsewhere tagline?

That's what I thought too, but then we seem keen on the odd Brentford player or ex Brentford players and it seems Smith does too, not surprisingly.
