Aston Villa and Birmingham City fans react to Jota speculation

Must say getting Jota for free was Ok, but the best deal was paying small heath 3-4 mil to take Gardner to the tip for us was the real bargain of the year #utv #sotc

Jota deal done with Gary Gardner going the other way , thought he was a good player at Brentford , hasnt really been as good at Blues , but trust in Deano #avfc

Jota was very good at Brentford and on his day unplayable, more space and time in the prem should suit him plus he’s a player DS knows. All positives IMO

We need 10 players including the loan players. In this day and age, £125m doesn’t go far! That is why I think Jota is decent business.

Two things on Jota:

1) The first signing of the summer is not an indicator of what EVERY other deal will be like. In fact, it’s nearly always easier to get the smaller deals done first;

and

2) So he’s inconsistent. He’s a wide player. They’re all bloody inconsistent.#AVFC

Lots of people saying they are surprised at signing Jota.

He’s a Spanish playmaker who can beat a man and play a pass – and has worked under Dean Smith before. And he’s not going to break the bank.

No brainer – unless you’re obsessed with who he used to play for. #avfc

Unlucky, you’re getting Jota instead #BCFC #avfc https://t.co/pRVW9XXycj

Good deal all round.
As a bcfc fan Jota must be on high wages, Gardner lower wages.
FFP rules mean we have to get rid of high earners. https://t.co/b4y1V1Qace

@avfc @bcfc Jota very one-paced and one-footed. Good luck to him though in Aston he might just come good

Jota is not a Birmingham City type of player. People just Sugar coat his performances. He’s never performed on a consistent level and 4m plus GG is a cracking deal for #bcfc
