Jorginho

Why are we not targeting N'Zonzi? He is perfect for what we need with the position with pinging passes, defensive duties, and dealing with the press as hes constantly shown vs Pool. Absurd we aren't buying him at a similar age/price we bought Dinho for.

Maybe Pep and Txiki think you're wrong, maybe that's why. Madness I know they should check on here before deciding who would be best.

Why are we not targeting N'Zonzi?

Didnt we target him last winter break or was it this winter break? Lovely player, though he didnt do anything in Blackburn that stood out, which might have put Pep & Co off a little bit... Would otherwise take Dembele (Moussa) if anything..

Why is anything he did at Blackburn relevant when he has been a stud for Sevilla and booked his ticket to the World Cup for France with how good he has been since his move and working under Emery to improve?

They should, as we are fact based accounts and will tell them the truth, no matter how difficult it is to accept.

“Fact based” is a bit of a stretch...

Maybe the people that do this for a hugely well paid living think differently to you?

Jorginho going to Brazil and Napoli holding on to their valuation mean this may be off unless they budge which may not happen.
Hopefully we have an able alternative in mind and we wrap that deal sooner

Really like Jorginho, will be disappointed if we back out over a few million. Its admirable that we're sticking to our guns but the two lads mentioned as alternatives are totally different players. Just seems weird to move on from your number one target identified over the course of months and agreed with a tactical genius to then bin all that so quickly.

And as I have said before, don't think we have a leg to stand on from a negotiation point of view. Richest club in the world + premier league champions prize money + only needing two signings, if I was Laurentiis I would have asked for 60 million too.

If this does not happen i hope we go for Ndombele i personally would have Ndombele before Jorginho but Jorginho has the experience, as for the transfer we are in control as he is not going straight into our first team and as it gets closer the deadline day the player will be looking at the Marhez January transfer

I agree, but if Jorginho is Pep`s first choice of all available DMs, it`s for a good reason
