Jorginho

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

Jorginho makes sense as a replacement for Yaya and cover for Fernandinho who at 33 may begin to struggle. It doesn't make any sense as a replacement for Silva

With Tolmie & mattyb happy that we're all good I'm relaxed, sure stuff could go south like the original Laporte deal but there's literally nothing to suggest both our main targets won't be in sky blue next season.

I think we should play both in certain CL matches when up against strong attacks. Pep loves to try and win with all out attack and a high line, but sometimes it pays not to be so gung-ho.

Not direct for Silva but so kev doesn’t have to sit so deep? Pep already said David won’t play as much next season

last season Fernandinho had 3 assists, and Jorginho 4. David Silva 11

KDB didn't play as deep nearly as much as you seem to think he did

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.

Could try both together.

I don't have an issue with that. It's your claim that a two man defensive midfield plus KDB would be more creative that Fern, Silva and KDB. How do you work that out?

Cos like Messi last season, Silva's lost a yard of pace ;)
