Jorginho

[GeorgeHeslop'sTackle.]

Good to see mattyb dropping by. Glad to have a deeper squad and have added another dimension.

If Mattyb says its on, it’s on 100%.
Now maybe we can all chill out.

NB. Still wish I wasn’t so worried about how his lack of pace will hamper his performance in the premier league next year though.

Ah well, trust in Pep, as they say... (Which I, most certainly, do)

I’m with you on Jorginho. I’m not stressing though and it’s nice to go in with low/moderate expectations on a player for once (for me personally). I’m sure I’ll look back and shake my head at that.

This is nailed on. Be patient.

Well hello there.... finally to be done next week ?

Likely to have more good games than bad under Pep, but a lack of pace in this league catches most out at some point.

I'll be worried if Fernandinho get's injured or banned, I suppose you can say that about most players but there is no player to almost directly fill in for him.

No we haven’t, but then I guess, trying to find someone to compete, in the same position, with a team mate who’s already undoubtedly the best in the world at what he does, isn’t an easy task

Looks like Carlo has personally asked Napoli to replace Jorginho with Fabian Ruiz and they will pay his €30M release clause.

No, it was Alex Ferguson who said it about Madrid

I'm sure the Napoli President insulted us back in 2013 during the Cavani talks I might be wrong.

Jorginho is a great choice to give rest for Ferna when we are facing the teams that concede all posession to us, and since thats more often than not he’ll play quite a bit I’m guessing.

But that said, when we go up against dangerous teams I’m nervous without Fernandinho out there. In my mind we still don’t have his replacement.

Probably when he is injured we play someone like Danilo?

At the end of it, we ended last season with Ferna, Gündogan and Yaya as our options.

I would feel so much more comfortable with a Yaya- jorginho swap

I think dinho and Jorginho will play in the same team more often than not to be honest. Can see kev moving forward abit and Bernardo moving central. Pep also said that Merlin won’t be a starter as much next season as well. With Jorginho passing and dinho behind we would be solid and even more creative
