I think Sarri will be gone before they let Kante come home

Fernandinho has made 44 tackles this season Jorginho 41, where he beats Jorginho is in headed clearances. So strong in the defensive aspect is more the aerial thing rather than needing a strong tackling sort. No idea what De Jong is like in the air. Jorginho seems easier to press but that could just be having the players around him knowing how position themselves to play out.Hope the club will sign a player strong in the defensive aspect or we will not be able to play KDB-Silva/Silva at same time.
I think De Jong as the 6 will be like Jorginho at Chelsea who just can't defend in the Premier League.

I suspect the similar number of tackles has more to do with the fact that teams attack Chelsea much more than they dare to do against City.Fernandinho has made 44 tackles this season Jorginho 41, where he beats Jorginho is in headed clearances.

When you actually watch them Jorginho looks lost there. It could be because its a new environment of course.

Pep has said we won't pay big for a defensive midfielder.

He said we were looking at 4 options, I guess when he said that he knew De Jong was out. So maybe Ndombele, Aouar, Neves not sure who else but could be someone no ones even mentioned.

When did he say that?
It's a weird thing to come out with when his whole team is based around someone who can sit, break stuff up, pass well and move forward.

I doubt we'll be able to afford Ndombele as I can see PSG also being in for him.
