   Tierney for me. I would worry Jota could have motivation problems having earned so much money.

   Tierney because I * love the guy, he’s a quality player and left back is our weakest position for the last few years

   Jota.
   
   I've been whining about the LB position since KT left, but KT comes with too big a risk of long term injuries.
   
   Jota all day for me.

   Jota, easily. Want both, no, actually I demand both.
   
   Jota is better than Kuhn and Maeda combined. He'd stroll it up here again.

   Tough one, but it would be Jota for me as I think we would get more game time from him.

   A fully firing KT, there's no comparison.
   
   And that makes it not a straightforward question.
   
   Would still sign KT, but there's definitely a gamble, a gamble worth taking tho..

    Under current circumstances it's KT all day long. Just have a feeling that the * up of the Saudi move has battered Jota's confidence so badly that he'll struggle to get back to the level he was at before.
    
    If we knew he'd pick up where he left off it's a more difficult choice, but honestly feel like he's * it.

    Is he * :giggle1:
    
    Id have Kuhn over Jota every day of the week. Maeda is incomparable to either.

    Yeah maybe. Gamble worth taking in favour of not getting KT though?

    KT everyday of the week.
    
    Both everyday of the month.
    
    And rangers died. I remind them every day of the year.

    Love KT but Jota for me. Showed what he could do when he was here, younger and no injury problems.

    Jota. KT would have had a chance if he wasn't continually breaking down.

    Tierney.
    
    Harder to find a good left back, let alone one I would deem to be one of the best in the UK.
    
    Injury concerns aside (game manage him and don't burn him out), I'd think it would be easier/cheaper to get similar quality/calibre of Jota than it would be to get a KT level player in the door.
