Jorginho

You forgot about Jo. ;)

Its a bit more than three seasons that, and thankfully I had forgotten.

We should stick a bid in for him and start forcing the price up.

He's a good player but i wouldn't lose any sleep over us not signing him.

I've watched so many Napoli games now and I probably would not sign Jorginho. Maybe Pep will get another level out of him but his passing stats, youtube comps and general reputation on certain corners of the internet are massively undercut from what I've seen

I'd much rather we sign Thiago for a similar fee, with some generous addons based on apps, or M. Dembele from Spurs, who only has 1 yr on his contract. Regardless of alternatives, I am not impressed with Jorginho at all given the pockets of hype around him. I think Gundogan probably adds more in the 6 role overall. There isn't alot of difference anyway.

One bit of hope, outside of Pep's direct influence, is that Napoli's football is of a lower quality to ours and playing alongside Silva and KDB rather than Allan and Hamsik may work better for him.

More of Jorginho doing his part, according to this report he’s communicated he has no intentions of signing a new deal with Napoli in the case this doesn’t go through, but the deal should get done next week.

Cheers for the info

In my opinion we haven't overpaid for anyone since probably Fernando, in fact I would say that the majority of our recent (3 summers), are worth considerably more than when we signed them, and going back further, I'd hardly say any of our key signings were over priced.

The media might (do), but just ignore them, they're not relevant.

Mangala?

Another twist is Lemina being an actual target for Napoli if they fail to land Torreira(Arsenal interest) or Labotka from Celta Vigo. Lemina moving back to Italy makes sense for family reasons.

Why’s that mate?

Are we going to get the tedious 'Vieira/Mancini' song reworked for this one, if he signs ?
