    I'd look to buy him ASAP now.

    He's still at a cross roads. He hasn't made it at Benfica so far. Is he willing to chance it and go the way Roberts has. I'm not saying he is the same ability as Roberts but I'm saying will he actually make it at his parent club? He's guaranteed game time here and the potential to take a step to the big leagues after us.

    I actually think when he's spent the last few weeks back in Portugal, it's a bad time. People will have been in his ear over there. Need him back here, scoring and getting another taste of what it is to be here

    Pay whatever it takes and get it done in January.

    He's top class and there will be loads of teams in better leagues sniffing about. That's a certainty.

    Even if he signs for a year and banks us £20m+ in the process, he's worth it.

    We've got to do everything to make sure he wants it until then

    Nah that would be an obligation where everything is agreed and signed when the loan starts.

    Option just means no matter what Benfica have to accept £6m from us. He can still reject it though.

    Surely more complicated than that. Otherwise jack Hendry could have said no thanks to his option to buy to cash in on big signing on fee a year later. Anyway good news is you don't hear many saying no to the option if the club wants them anyway.

    Jota loves playing here under Ange,no way he’ll not want to sign a contract imo.
