Jorginho

[Gabriel]

1.

When he played for Borussia, he was their pen taker, and I can’t remember him ever missing.

Was he? According to Transfermarkt, he’s only ever taken 3 penalties in his senior career: 2 for Dortmund and 1 for us. 100% record, though. :-)

 

[SWP's back]

1 doesn't make him our best penalty taker then,still sergio

Sergio is without doubt not our best penalty taker.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

I love sergio... but his penalties can be woeful. He has improved a bit this year though. Would keep him on them for now

Thought this thread was about Jorginho if some of you want to discuss penalty takers take it to another thread

 

[CityDreamer]

.. is it done yet?

 

[AntonDonJuan]

If sergio is on the pitch he takes them,thats fact

But he shouldn't.

Never once have i been confident in Sergio taking a penalty, he is not a good penalty taker

out of our two transfer targets this summer its jourginho that I'm concnered about....a pivotal position that we need to get right.....he has some fantastic and obvious attributes with his passing but I'm concerned about him playing vs the more physical, faster teams who press and will target him. Just have to wait and see i suppose and hope Pep and everyone else has got this one right.

Yeah i'd say physicality isn't his strong point but in those game where he'd face that we play Dinho with him or instead.

I think one of the main reasons we are signing him is due to his ability to beat the press, he's fantastic at it now and will improve even further under peps tactics and with the likes of Dave, Kev and Gundogan to play off of.

Anyone think this could drag on a little longer while Napoli try to get a bidding war started?

No I don't, I also don't think Sarri will end up at Chelsea.
