Jota | Ex-Celtic and now unregistered Saudi League player

Another world class goal and man of the match performance!

I highlighted this kid as a player to watch before the season began and he looks as though he has honestly gone up a level. Celtic only paid 6M for this boy…. I expect a big money move next summer ;)
 
Imagine Benfica had Jota and Neres on the wings… with Horta behind the striker.

Orgasmic attack.
It was the best solution for Jota's career. Portuguese clubs are more worried in doing trading in the transfermarket than valuing their youth talent.
Unless the player makes imediat impacto like Félix, it won't have a second chance.
 
Watching Celtic week in week out he’s definitely getting better or being coached to his full ability’s this season.
His goal was a peach on a plastic surface if he keeps these levels up clubs down south will come sniffing.
 
I had a look at the highlights of all of Celtic's matches this season, he's been on fire. When he's not scoring screamers, he's doing brilliant dribbles and incisive crosses.
 
Another goal and assist today for Celtic along with being heavily involved in two other goals.

Kid is aces.
 
What's his best position?


Left wing. He likes to cut in on his right. Can use both feet though to cross.

He is also very good on the right if you want him to stay wide for width
 
This kid just keeps on giving. I highlighted him as a player to watch and expect a key move from next summer and he has literally gone up another level.

Top level finish today and he has proven to have added end product to all of his technical ability.

Celtic fans saying he is the best player to play in Scotland since Henrik Larsson and I don’t think I disagree.

Excited to see him in the CL

A fellow Celtic fan, like myself. Was at the Derby game, we absolutely blitzed them. Less said about last week, the better.
 
Should’ve scored twice against shahktar or least got his shot away.
 
I don’t think he was great in Europe. He’s clearly a talented player but as above, he tried to do far too much when he had great shooting opportunities.

I also disagree he’s great on the right. I find him underwhelming on the right and exceptional on the left.

He’s young And inexperienced and I reckon he will move to the EPL.

Wolves Would be a natural progression to replace Neto.

Yep, agreed. He will make us good money. Someone will pay us 20 plus million if he stays injury free.
 
Don’t have the best of games yesterday but did one wee bit of magic when he flicked ball over Motherwell player head

Yea, he was poor as was the whole team. Worryingly, we looked tired. 2 centre halves were poor. We badly miss CCV. I fear a doing on Wednesday evening.
 
Disagree, far more effective on the left.

Yeah a lot better cutting inside and looking up. Not convinced of his left foot crossing when he cuts outside though, but I've seen him nowhere enough to know.
 
Jota named in the provisional Portugal World Cup squad.
 
Moved to Saudi League. Plays a few games. Club drops him from registration.

This is a regular occurrence in the Arab leagues. Players regularly get dropped and kicked out for bigger and shiner toys.

All the average players that have signed for big bucks are going to be in for a shock next season.

Yeah I was thinking the only money they should see as guaranteed would be in the first year/season. Any talk of a 3 year contract could come crashing back down to earth at any moment.

Just because they aren't registered doesn't mean they won't get paid for their contract they will .
 
Fun fact: Many of the state-owned and Saudi clubs have also not paid some of their players wages including Lewis Grabban former Nottingham Forest.
 
Let wait a couple of years and see how this Saudi adventure turns out.
Irrespective of how it turns out I don't see them reneging on players contract they will get paid if they stuck it out there .
