Jota - Welcome Home!

Wonder if all this stuff about him is even true. Doesn’t look like someone they are desperately trying to force out by his celebration.

 

The situation is creating a drama that is gaining attention.

What is the Saudi equivalent of The Sun?

 

The Crescent?

 

I see what you did there.

 

Very good!

 

It looks exactly like the reaction of someone they are forcing out.

For me that celebration was him saying that he does belong here and shouldn’t be pumped out to make space for another star.

 

What is the current situation with this?

I thought the club had written him off and allowed a free exit… yet he’s still playing. Or are they looking for a fee?

I know he’d have to agree to a transfer… but if paid up and free to go… why not go?

 

Bhoy loves a celebration… don’t think there’s anything to read into it.

 

wee translation.

 

Don’t think he said that mate


Think it up the Provos I’m coming home to Glasgow

 

Think the technical term for it is a * shitshow mate.

Club want Salah and think they can get him and Jota’s in the road of that.

Nuno I think wants him, he seems to be the one out of Kante and Benzema that was the signing he wanted. Because apparently he doesn’t actually want Benzema either.

And apparently he doesn’t suit ‘the federation’ and what they want off the big money foreigners. That could mean * anything.

 

We better be getting our money

The Wind & Rain

 

FORMER Celtic star Jota has been left out of Saudi side Al-Ittihad's squad despite being the club's record signing, according to reports.

The winger, 24, only joined from Celticfor £25million in July.


The signing looked to represent a major coup for Ittihad given that the winger is in the prime of his career.

He scored 15 goals and assisted 12 times during a fine 2022-23 season under Ange Postecoglou at Celtic Park.

However, Al Riyadh sports journalist Hattan Al Najjar reports that Jota has now been jettisoned from Al-Ittihad's Saudi Premier League squad.

Al Najjar wrote: “Jota will be excluded from the list of [Al Ittihad] professionals in the league, according to the new system.”



Jota has cut a peripheral figure since joining the Saudi side, playing just 133 minutes across five matches and scoring one goal.

Jota looked to be a statement signing for Al-Ittihad after arriving alongside Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante.

But Saudi sides are limited by the league in how many foreign players they can register and it looks like Jota has not made the cut.

That's because his new club want to accommodate another new signing,defender Luiz Felipe from Real Betis, who cost a reported £18.8m.




Al-Ittihad were heavily also linked with a move for Liverpool star Mohamed Salah, with SunSport revealing the Saudi side were prepared to bid up to £215m.

But, Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp held firm in their desire to hold onto the Egyptian superstar.

It is likely Al-Ittihad will return with another bid in January.
