Jota - Welcome Home!

He's a massive signing for us. KT in the summer is also a massive signing. Get a quality striker in and next season could be a blast.

 

Bit of midfield steel and we will be laughing

 

Need to up his game more....already got kuhn and maeda at that half way point teehee

 

From his post match interview with Celtic tv



Joining him for the Celtic TV interview was Jota, who made an emotional return to the Hoops on Sunday as he came off the bench at Fir Park and scored a last-minute goal to seal the win for the Hoops.

And speaking after tonight’s victory, the Portuguese midfielder expressed his joy at being back at Paradise again.

He also admitted that, after Daizen Maeda had passed to him for his goal against Motherwell on Sunday, he was delighted to return the favour at Celtic Park tonight.

“I wanted to do the same for him today!” he said, “and credit to him because he has been outstanding this season.

“It was fantastic tonight. It was a feeling I’ve been looking for for a long time.

“I missed it so much and there was no better way to come back than with a victory and a big amount of goals to celebrate with the fans.

“I think, having been here in the past, I know my team-mates and I know the movements that Daizen and my other team-mates are going to make.

“So it’s just a question of being in the right place at the right moment and delivering.”

 

Would have punted Yang long before Palma tbh

 

It's a shame for Yang, as I think he had potential. We haven't developed him well and that's partly on us (same with Oh IMO). Unfortunately, he's reaching an age where it had to be this year or probably never. Hard to see it happening for him now, sadly.

Palma, in contrast, is a good player who doesn't suit the manager's style. He'd have been a fantastic player in a Neil Lennon team IMO.

 

We should have had Yang out on loan, but the truth is, he isn't good enough it was just bad scouting.

 

maeda sure as * aint gonna let jota waltz in the team ahead of him ,its great to see the 3 wingers pushing each other to be better already

 

Yang has a bit of pace and works hard but I think we've seen enough of him now to say he isn't going to make it here, the quality of end product just isn't there, not even really in flashes, there would have to be a major turnaround in output from him that we wouldn't be looking sell or loan with a view to shop windowing him and bringing in an upgrade in the summer. I agree with Oh though, he had grabbed some goals on very limited minutes and felt he had something about him to keep developing.

 

For sure IMHO that is the biggest hole in our squad that we need filled at the moment.

 

I would look to sell during the summer if we can or loan him out with an option to buy. He just isn't good enough.

 

I was a bit surprised when I tuned in and Jota was starting last night but what a treat that was. Pretty much carried on from where he left off. A joy to watch him playing in the hoops and this is him not even fully match sharp and fit yet.

 

Thinking about him again today, it's actually unbelievable how sharp and effective he's been after the last 18 months he's had. No way could anyone have expected him to be so good so quickly.

Can't even explain how good he is man. Phenomenal player.

 

he wont leave again thats for sure, once bitten and aw that. what a player we have though and not even match fit yet, frkn incredible.

 

He's my favourite player since Larsson.

Maybe since Boruc.

Maybe since Brown.

Maybe since McGregor.

He's definitely top 5 players since Larsson for me.

 

Kuhn is Robben.

Jota is Ronaldinho but better.

 

Kuhn is C Ronaldo
Jota is Messi
