Jorginho

[Tim of the Oak]

Didn’t the BBC report that we had agreed a fee of around £42m a few weeks ago?

Yes and it wasn’t true. I think we had a deal with the player’s agent and Not Napoli

Have to say , have been impressed with their agent ....he and jorginho are putting the right type of pressure. That that agent of yaya's can learn a thing or 2

I’m not suggesting that we don’t do any deals with any European club at all in the near future.

It’s just that (going on our post 2008 experiences) Italian clubs, in particular, seem to have been the most difficult for us to negotiate with in the recent past.

Our negotiator may not, indeed, be a shithouse, but how do you suggest we proceed if the person we’re dealing with on behalf of the Italian club, most definitely is?

When we went after Kaka, Ibra & DDR, it was City who wanted the players, but the players weren't particularly arsed about us one way or the other.

That was then & this is now. Kaka admitted 3 years ago that he regretted not going to City back then, but it's understandable why a recent world player of the year wouldn't want to give up a team in the top 5 in the world to play for Mark Hughes at City whose last major trophy was 40 years previously.

If it was now, Kaka & Ibra would have a different take on a move to the Etihad. Players like Di Rossi were always destined to be a one club player, but Jorginho is different. He has no emotional ties to Napoli like DDR had with Roma & City are a multi-cup winning team managed by Pep Guardiola who've just broken nearly every PL record in sight.

This one is about patience. The word is that Napoli have accepted Jorginho will leave this window, but they want his replacement in before he goes, as they feel the price of a replacement will go up if other clubs know they have our £40m+ burning a hole in their pocket.

I kind of hope we get kovacic. I feel he is more versatile and has more upside. Jorginho seems quality though, certainly wouldn't be disappointed. I just get frustrated that we start with these low-ball offers, negotiations drag on for weeks and we end up paying what the selling club wanted anyway. Can't we just skip the middle man and get it done a a bit quicker.

Everyone one in Europe knows we in for him and when we in for a player we usually get him so don’t buy that.

I wonder if Napoli enquired about Gundogan.

Napoli should accept it now...they won't be getting a better offer
