Jorginho

The only solace I'm getting with this thread is the massive appreciation and respect we have for Fernandinho. The early measure of the man was how he pushed and did all he could to sign for us from Shaktar. This is seemingly in sharp contrast to Jorginho.

Fuckin hell. SSN have just said Napoli pulled out of a deal to sell us Jorginho & told him he HAD to sign for Chelsea.

They said as recently as 48 hours ago, Jorginho made it clear he wanted Manchester, but ADL said no, go to Chelsea or else.

Apparently the extra money Chelsea have paid is the exact amount of Sarri's compensation fee!! City have accused Napoli of being utterly unprofessional in their dealings with us.

If true, just WOW!

That’s Italian clubs for you utter lying cheating scumbags
 
He’s the enemy now & as such is just another twat that’ll be chasing light blue shadows as we lift the title again .
 
We need another DM this season.
Fern although very, very good needs to play less and isn't the best against the press.
Without another DM so Pep can play the double pivot and share pivot duties with we can forget the Champions League.
Sorry to be negative but its a fact.
The purchase of a top class pivot is essential for next season.

Jorginho would not have stopped Liverpool taking City apart anymore than he stopped City running through Napoli.

We have to play better, as a team & not defend like clowns. If we play each game as we can, then we have a chance of winning it, with or without another signing.
 
He was pushed to sign for Chelsea and forced otherwise bad things would have happened to him yeah.

Totally agree with this.
 
I would break the bank for Matuidi. Paris told us to back off a couple years ago or they would come after our guys.

If we offer enough, Juve might consider it, especially after the Ronaldo outlay.

Vidal is two years younger than Fern but his injuries are dodgy.
Matuidi's a good shout. HOWEVER do we really want to return to Italy?? :-)
 
There isn't an obvious replacement we could sign. He is one of the best in the world.

Hence why we bid for Fred & Jorginho who are both different types of players to rach other & lack Fernandinho's alround game. They would take some of the weight off Fern but there would be a big question mark on either playing a full season in his spot if he wasn't there imo.
@tolmie's hairdoo has just made a shout for Blaise Matuidi. I hadn't considered him before, but I'd be more than happy with him if he was available, but it's the price & dealing with another Italian team that would make it difficult to do before the window closes.

What are your thoughts on Matuidi?
 
Sounds like our PR team are on the offensive in order to shift all the blame onto Napoli.
Whilst there may be a small shred of truth it seems to me we are overegging it a bit in order to shift any blame that might have been attached to our negotiations.
This is a deal that we could have gotten over the line had we been prepared to pay for it.
Time will tell if it was an error but for now it’s not the end of the world.
