Jorginho

[blue b4 the moon]

What kind of fanny needs to be told 'you are a definite starter?' So what does the player want in that situation? The knowledge that their performances could drop off a cliff and they'd still be chosen even not on merit? As if he wouldn't start here where we have 1 33 year old player competing for his role.

The classic was Frank Stapleton at the rags.

Have you flapped this afternoon? Was it better than Shaks Rant?

Sorry blue, keep sucking your thumb :)

cannot find his rant

We changed our minds because Shaktar and Fred wanted too much cash.

Most papers said we switched our interest to Jorghino. No mention of excessive demands or whatever.

Ndombele or De Jong would be fantastic, but De Jong is Barca bound I think

Jorghino was City bound a few weeks ago. Nothing is done until it is done...

Let's stick a head in there and test the tires. :)

And here I was thinking the Mahrez saga was stressful. Let's just let whatever happens happen and move on to another target if we have to before it's too late.

"What the fuck is that Twixi fella penny pinching for again?... it's probably only a few million stopping the deal going through, my stress levels matter more than that surely? Just pay the man whatever it takes"

Ah how quickly people change. :)

Why do you think we switched our targets?

 

[Dribble]

Ah well, whatever will be will be. :-)

If Jorginho was happy with our offer as reported, the only spanner in the works will be the Chavs offering more money to Napoli. However if they've also offered more money to Jorginho & he's tempted after a gentleman's agreement with us, then we should rightly fuck him off & move on.

HOWEVER, not so long ago Sanchez tried this stunt with City, & before we'd even given him our reply we announced to the world we'd ended our interest in him. The Sanchez to ManUre rumours started about a week before we announced we were dropping our interest, so it remains to be seen if:

1. This is just Chelsea offering more money, & Napoli trying to get an auction going.

or

2. The player being interested in more money, reuniting with Sarri & living in London which is why he's being reported as being there already.

We know 1 has been reported, but 2 has all come from Napoli. We've been here before as with RVP, Isco, Sanchez, Hazard & Alves, but we've survived to break a multitude of records last season. We'll be OK regardless, & in the meantime, we've just gotta keep the faith with Txiki, Soriano & Khaldoon.

Jorginho is in Milan now for some reason
