Aston Villa fans have been reacting on Twitter to the latest player rumoured to be leaving the club during this month’s transfer window.
This comes after Villa fan Twitter account @villareport shared a post on their page relaying information originally shared by the Daily Mail that Villa winger Jota is “in talks” over a loan move to Championship side Fulham.
Has Jota been a flop for Villa?
Yes
No
This post then gathered a number of replies from Villa fans who were eager to share their thoughts on this latest transfer news.
Here’s a sample of Villa fans discussing Jota’s potential Villa Park exit:

This cant be real

Lightweight and slow. Not a premier league player in my eye’s
Maybe he’d do OK in a team that can afford that type of player though?
We can’t.— nick martin (@nick1j1975) January 29, 2020
The winger has only made 12 appearances for Dean Smith’s side so far this season, with eight of them coming in the Premier League (per Transfermarkt). Now that news has emerged that Jota could be out the door before the end of this month, some Villa fans saw this as an opportunity to share their feelings on the 28-year-old.
Very intelligent player , just struggles with prem speed in my humble opinion

Not fast or strong enough in the prem. Got techinal ability but needs so much more

What do we think?
Given that Jota has failed to hold down a regular starting place at Villa in the Premier League this season, maybe a move to Fulham would be a better option for the Spaniard. If he can get regular playing minutes at a level that is more suited to him, then that would be a benefit to all parties.
