Jota - Welcome Home!

Use whatever language you want… but he is and will be 100 times better than what is on pitch at moment so stop being depressing * about him and a ray of light for us

 

From Martin’s late night press interview



I sat at the table with him there and Jota was in, and he can speak a few languages, so he was doing a bit of interpreting. Wee Jota said to me, ‘do you know Gaffer, when you first met the players and had that little talk, and asked if everybody understood, he nodded his head, but he didn’t get it!’”

 

Wonder how he got on with his Christmas shopping in Berlin

 

Hopefully buying new football boots

 

Getting ready for his big return to training hopefully

 

This is the same chat I heard when Tierney was coming back and it turned out as expected. Too much emotional thinking and less rational. Jota is a good player but long term injury + second return after playing hardly any football doesn't in any way (if history of players having similar issues) suggests he will be the saviour we want to resurrect our season.

 

Don't let the board hear you saying that

 

Was that on Instagram?

 

Nope

 

I'd * hate being famous man, imagine getting your picture taken no matter where you went

 

One of the * in the group chat had shared picture


But aye the joys of fame

 

Ridiculous opening gambit, was brilliant for us when he returned and will be again when he's back from injury.

 

Ye * kidding on mate? Guy was in football wilderness for 2 years and then was getting back to full speed wild take and am known on here for some whoppers but * he’ll man didn’t expect a statement like that from you!

 

Wait his name is not actually Jota

 

It’s actually Jimmy

 

Nah lol

 

Ffs

 

Jota is how the Portuguese say the letter J, so it's the equivalent of a Scottish boy called John going by J. It's done fairly often just because João is such a common name.

 

my point is Serious injury recovery and having not played frequently for a couple of seasons can be a huge detrimental factor in the players ability to reach the form he had at his peak. I just can't see him getting back to that level this season

 

Aye it’s murder mate
