Do you think we should sell Jota in the summer?

Most natural finisher we've had since Fowler I reckon, worth keeping hold of.

 

I would normally tend to agree, but if you are only getting 15-20 games a season from him i'm not sure it's worth it

Sadly yeah.

 

You can be the best at what you do, but if you are regularly unavailable then you are not really much use. Jota's availability has simply not been good enough for too long now and it is unlikely to improve as he gets older.

There's too much to do in the summer already

 

Better get a move on then.

 

Every season is the same shit, constantly told we're always active and plenty of hard work going on behind the scenes......then when it's crunch time, the evidence is never presented.

My view is that we rarely actually miss him when he's not fit, but he's a key player and an asset when he is. 

 

It's a dichotomy of sorts, but look at our results and it's hard to see where we've missed him really with the exception of United at home.

 

We've got plenty of options and when he's fit he's a really good one of those options.

 

Keep him.

It depends on what happens with Diaz. They are basically in the same boat. Same ages and contracts end at the same time. They have close to the same positions on the pitch now, with Diaz playing in the middle and moving around.

 

Whatever is more economical for the club, whether that's extending or selling Diaz, or extending or selling Jota, is what will happen. Very much doubt we keep both.

If we had a #9 who was more prolific and available for the majority of the time, then I think the expectation on Jota would be lessened. 
 

Personally, I’d keep, upgrade on Nunez and see where we are in June’26.

Nope, he's one of my fave attacking players. I'd probably start him more often over Diaz anyway and there's been rumours that Diaz has been angling for a move at times so would rather the club looked at that instead and let him go if he wants to leave.

No. Salah is off, we need to bin Nunez, and Barcelona will keep getting their tits out for Diaz. As for Chiesa...fuck knows.

 

It's only really Gakpo who is a solid option so fuck getting rid of Jota even taking into account his injury record.

Sell Jota? Fucking hell. If we just assume that he's going to spend part of the season unavailable, as long as whoever replaces him is scoring, then I can live with that. Especially given that a couple of his injuries have been less to do with him and more to do with some massive galloot fucking falling on him or some such.
