davieG Posted 6 May 2015 Posted 6 May 2015 BY SAM ROURKE ⋅ MAY 6, 2015 ⋅ POST A COMMENT FILED UNDER BRENTFORD, JOTA, LEICESTER, SWANSEA Swansea City are set to battle Leicester City to sign Brentford midfielder Jota, according to the Daily Mail. Jota is wanted by Leicester and Swansea City Jota is wanted by Leicester and Swansea City Jota, 23, has been nothing short of a revelation since joining Mark Warburton’s side from Celta Vigo at the start of the season. The attacking midfielder has amassed 11 goals from 42 appearances for the West London club this season, and his impressive performances have caught the eye of Premier League duo Swansea City and Leicester. Jota has seemed to adapt to the rigours and demands of the Sky Bet Championship with ease, a feat that is often regarded as very hard for someone’s first season in the division. Bees manager Mark Warburton, who is leaving Griffin Park this summer, would undoubtedly want to keep hold of the exciting midfielder, and the club would no doubt demand a sizeable fee for the 23-year-old Spaniard.

Erm, seriously?
Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 6 May 2015 Posted 6 May 2015 Don't know anything about him. Sign him up.
Finnaldo Posted 6 May 2015 Posted 6 May 2015 Attacking Midfielder, replacement for Mahrez and/or Knockaert? Knocky looks set to be off and there's question marks over Mahrez's future, could be an interesting but to be honest I haven't seen much of him this season.
VLC86 Posted 6 May 2015 Posted 6 May 2015 Seen him play a few times and he didn't really stand out so I would be surprised by this. We probably need to add goals to our CM but I would guess it would be on someone proven if we stay up
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 6 May 2015 Posted 6 May 2015 Erm, seriously? I was thinking that - keep him in his basement?
LeicesterAreGoingUp Posted 6 May 2015 Posted 6 May 2015 would take him or Pritchard on loan from spurs (didn't rob MacKenzie say we were scouting him last year?)
Bayfox Posted 6 May 2015 Posted 6 May 2015 Erm, seriously? Well according to some Warburton will be coming here.
sylofox Posted 6 May 2015 Posted 6 May 2015 Agent talk. Wants his lad to get a new contract so names two prem clubs.
AKCJ Posted 6 May 2015 Posted 6 May 2015 Would very much welcome him to the KP. He'd do a job off the bench in the 'hole' that we're going for with the 3-5-2.

DB11 Posted 6 May 2015 Posted 6 May 2015 As long as we don't then play him on the wing and he gets slated for being shit
ealingfox Posted 6 May 2015 Posted 6 May 2015 Seen him play several times now (not even lying). Incredibly one-footed but has good tekkers and can pick a pass. Worth a chance but not sure he's an instant improvement on our current wide options.
Jaspa Posted 6 May 2015 Posted 6 May 2015 ****ing hell this bloke gives Stringer a run for his money. That commentary duo
LCFC FOX Posted 6 May 2015 Posted 6 May 2015 Suppose it depends if they come up or not, which I'm hoping they do
shailen Posted 6 May 2015 Posted 6 May 2015 Can't say I'm too excited by the prospect, but I trust our scouting system with some of the players we have signed recently. Knocky, Mahrez, James, Drinkwater, Vardy...etc were all unknown and have performed to the highest level.
Ealing Fox Posted 6 May 2015 Posted 6 May 2015 I've seen him 6/7 times this season (one of my sons chose Brentford above Leicester with it being the local club, 10 minutes walk away). He's good and very similar to Knockaert in almost every way. He does stand out in Brentford's team, but he's far from guaranteed to make the step up. I'd agree with a couple of others above that Pritchard is the better player, and for me is without question Brentford's player of the season, and I'm sure will be a Premier League player sooner or later. Of course there is a 1/4 chance that Brentford will go up, in which case he'd be likely to stay as I'd guess he'd be more likely to get first team football anyway.
RedSoxUK Posted 6 May 2015 Posted 6 May 2015 Liked him for a while, they're most attacking player - and a key part of their transitioning attacks. (bias but I always try and get him on FM too, good nifty creative midfielder.) Not so much a replacement for the Knocky / Mahrez being thrown around, more of an attacking player who works with freedom of movement etc.
KFS Posted 7 May 2015 Posted 7 May 2015 Good player, Might signify a slight change in style for next season if true.
lgfualol Posted 7 May 2015 Posted 7 May 2015 I don't like when we go after championship team players. Every club tries to rip us off. He seems a good player though. We definitely need a proper cam player.
