    Agreed. He had one brilliant cross in particular to the back post that easter island just nipped in ahead of Giako on or Giako most likely would have scored.

    Hate these silly articles. Of course we're trying to get him signed. We're not * stupid. He's worth twice what we're contracted to pay for him the second the ink hits the page. All down to him and his agent though...

    Praying we sign him up, really think he is an incredible talent. Scary to think the numbers he would get with a prolonged spell of fitness and games.
    Its went relatively unnoticed but some of the balls he was putting in on sunday were deadly.
    He is twice the player of Solbakken and the likes we have been linked with.

    As @saltire78 said, think its down to if he wants to join or not. I think theres an option to buy in the loan deal.
    Im holding out hope. If we win the league, automatic CL qualification and the draw of playing for Ange he will surely fancy it. Even if he just stays a season.
    All i can say is Benfica must have some top quality wingers.

    Said it in the match thread but he reminds me of Naka so much with the way they make space and deliver crosses.

    Anyone get the feeling he isn’t staying?

    Don’t know why I think this but I don’t think he will hang around somehow.

    Hope I’m wrong though.

    I'm not that fussed anymore tbh. I think keeping CCV is more important

    I agree keeping big Fridge is more important. Still hope Jota stays as well though.

    He is having an amazing season here, he might think he will get into SLB starting 11 next season, but it’s simply not true.

    Everton is the main left winger and they paid good money for him and he will start.

    They have Dias who is also a left winger and another guy on loan as well ahead of the pecking order.

    Honestly it would be * pointless of him to go back there to not even get a sniff.

    I felt for ages we would miss out on him but more recently I think he will stay.

    If I had to guess I would say Celtic are the ones playing it cool right now. We’ve shown we can acquire players and we’ll have cash and time in the summer if Jota doesn’t want to come back. I daresay Ange might have another option he’s tempted by, mad as it may sound.

    I suspect everyone’s calm because a deal has essentially been sounded out with both club and player and it will go ahead in the summer as a formality. It just makes so much sense for everyone involved.

    I fully trust Ange to properly replace him if we don't keep him, but if it's between him and CCV, I'd much rather we get CCV tied down, finding a solid CB, let alone one as good as CCV, is really difficult.

    I do think both will stay, especially if we get CL.
