Prime Yaya was benched by another 'passing machine' in Busquets for a reason, I watched every Barca game that season so remember it clearly. Busi was simply a much better pivot for a Guardiola team.

Tend to agree that our two targets are probably a better fit.

It’s just difficult for me to not to think, in isolation, Fabinho and Fekir > Jorghino and Mahrez

I think Jorginho will flat out replace Dinho. Dinho will be the back up now.

Not so sure.
Dinho was arguably our most consistent player last season. Added to that it will take any player the best part of a season to adapt a) to the premiership and b) to Guardiola’s style of play. Next season will be Jorginho’s settling in time...after that he may well take over as first choice but he will bloody well have to earn it.

He's a better fit to Pep's play than Dinho already given his characteristics.

The getting used to PL bit might be the only obstacle. Worth noting he'll be getting a full summer training ahead of Dinho who has a world cup + holiday, so I think Jorginho is starting the season for us.

In 12 months time maybe, but not from the start. See Bernardo.

He'll get plenty of minutes, but won't take over straight off.

I think Bernardo's case was that he took a lot of time to get what Pep wants, if the journos are to be believed.

Jorginho other hand is coming from the most pep-like system outside of City. Think he'll know most of what to do so to speak.

I’m not scared of Liverpool I just wanted VVD Fabinho and Fekir for us. It’s just coincidence that it looks like they will end up with all of them rather than them going to different clubs.

So we get Van Dijk, that means we wouldn't have got Laporte. We get Fabinho, we don't get Jorginho. We get Fekir, we don't get Mahrez.

We can't have them all.

I agree with all that. Jorginho is a passing machine but Fabinho reminds me of a peak Yaya in some respects and I’ve wanted him for ages as I wanted VVD too.

In what respects is he like peak Yaya?

I will start... Scores lots of penalties like Peak Yaya did....

Ok now you continue....

No he wasn't. But we've already had this argument so idI agree to disagree :)

On the other note, Fabihno is nothing like Prime Yaya.

And you are going to hate this :) Jorghino is a better passer than prime Busi. Yeah I said it! :)
 
Just when he thought things couldn't get any worse

Interesting considering Liverpool were in for Jorginho the past 3-4 months and gave up like 2-3 weeks ago when they learnt that he had his mind set on City. I'm assuming that's when they moved on to Fabinho. And this is not me pulling rumors out of my arse, but what was reported by Tier 1 Liverpool sources like Paul Joyce, Bascombe, Melissa Reddy, etc. Also love the fact that Fabinho has been trying to get out of Monaco for 2 seasons now, was linked to PSG, United, City, Juventus at various points but nobody bought him until now.

The same could be said about Lemar..What happened is this: PSG tried to sign Fabinho last season but Monaco refused to sell him and Lemar after losing so many players.
Atletico Madrid made an offer according to reports in Spain, but Liverpool payed more.

That said i think Jorginho is more suited to City's style.

This. Fabinho doesn't have half the technical ability Yaya Touré has/had.

Jorginho is one of the best passers in the world, he'd suit us perfectly.
