Jota - Welcome Home!

Could be like having 2 Tounetkis

 

Need him blond on the pitch

 

Back in Glasgow supposedly.

 

Twonekti

 

Hes been back since the international break

 

He was at the Celtic legends game and the Portugal u21 game against Scotland

 

Need him and Tounekti to rock up tae the Brazen Head now

 

Don't wanna be Debbie Downer, but people really should be reigning in their hopes that Jota can return as if nothing has happened. Ligament injuries can really change a player, especially flair players and he hadn't played that much in the time prior to his return to us either. Michael Mols from rangers back in the day was a prime example. As far as I am concerned we have no idea what player returns from this layoff.

To top it off, further injuries are often of concern after long-term ACL/MCL type injuries. Gavi from Barcelona has just had another reoccurrence of a ligament issue after being out for a year and he is out for another 4-5 months now too. OG Ronaldo famously did his other leg just after coming back when he was at Inter back in the day.

Just trying to be sensible in our expectations here.

 

Most of its mental though. Hes not based on pure speed. So depends how strong in the head he is. Its not money that motivates him anymore since he's probably richest player at the club by some distance... this is about enjoying football. Imo he'll be fine.

 

I think he’ll be back in full training December. Been too miserable a last few weeks off the park so going for a positive hunch.

 

Im starving. What positive lunch you eating?

 

Soup(er) with a crusty (on a) roll. (n)ice cream for dessert.
