Jorginho

[avoidconfusion]

fuck him then!

 

[Homar]

Thiago was widely regarded as one of if not the best midfielders on the planet whilst Pep was at Bayern. He has still got a fair few years left in him and he comes with the enormous advantage that he knows exactly what the manager expects. Reports suggest that Bayern are also willing to sell. Only question is his fitness.

So the deal WAS agreed and the player is just an unambitious ****.

Wasn't our fault.

"look at alternatives"....lol.

I honestly think we have fucked up. Keita, Fabinho, Fred, Jorginho......

It's not like there are tons of good options there left. Unless we only want a back-up.

There are actiactu.
De Jong, Ndombele, Arthur to name 3

Very disappointing.

tbh I am not disappointed, just a little bit concerned that Txiki showed a little naivety in going after a Napoli player, we have been here before back when Bobby was the manager (Lavezzi, Cavani, Hamsik), De Laurentis is a fucking crook and I am glad we didn't get Jorginho, read through my past posts here on the transfer forum, I've never really rated the guy, I just didn't see it! I always wanted us to go for Fabinho over this guy but that's old news now. The good news however is that PEP is the boss and we have some very promising talent coming in or already here, if we decide to look inwards then we can look to the following players: Claudio Gomes kid is built like a tank and I am sure Pep can turn him into a perfect DM, there's also Douglas Luiz, Gundo has also done the business in that position so we have enough cover there right now, if we decide to dip our hands into the transfer market then we can look to Ndombele and Kovacic, for an older, more experienced DM we can try to snap up Matuidi, at 31 he should come relatively cheap.

Shouldn't that be on the dippers forum ?

 

[Rammyblues]

This thread needs locking

 

[Proy]

If that quote is true then fuck him. Deal was done. He has strung us along waiting for Sari to make a decision. Another bullet doged Imo.

No, not budging from your position and hoping they'll cave isn't walking away, it's trying to force their hand.



Also your solution is to just be weaker. Accept that Fernandinho will be worse, being older and not having had a break, and hope that players out of position can make do. Sorry but that's not the attitude of a winning team.

Your flapping here. Us forcing their hand is better than our hand being forced in every transfer - you have to stand your ground somewhere.

We have the same 1st 11. Add Mahrez remove Yaya and we are better. Gundo and Delph are midfielders just like Fdinho and are capable to stand in, Fdinho is very difficult to replace - i'm not convinced Jorginho was a like for like anyway, he won't be better than Kante at Chelsea.

 

[Omer1514]

Fred Alexis and now Jorginho. Its not looking good for us...

 

[twosips]

We've cocked this up apparently. Trying to negotiate down a few million again and in longer installments, after we'd already agreed a fee at one point. Oh well. Bit gutted as i was personally quite excited cos he was perfect for us.

Exactly this. Not Napoli chairman fault.

Player put location before medals.

Enjoy the museums you liar.

 

[Proy]

I wish the flappers would fuckin do one. Seriously.

Sanchez was just a money grabbing twat and Jorginho it would seem, has been pissing us about.

We will have other targets. Move on.

 

[SilverFox2]

We play Fdinho in DM but he is an alround midfielder in reality, gundo and delph could both do a job as could others.

We probably could have done this a few weeks back with more cash offered but not budging your position is walking away. It's disappointing but it is not that big a deal.

As you say like walking away if we persist with this tactic, and I am not saying its wrong, we should target 3 and sign the one that agrees to our best bid first.

I'd do a swap for Gundo!!! Worth a try.
