Jorginho

No way he leaves Madrid.

Why not?? He ain’t playing regularly at RM..

 

[BlueRebel7]

Eh, so we will get Seri or Kovacic instead hardly a disaster, but we still need one more cm.

Seri can't play in the winter and Kovacic is extremely overrated just because he plays for Madrid and even so gets a few games a year. Massive downgrade from Jorginho and likely Fred will prove a far better player too, even playing in that diabolical United team

we could have offered what they wanted to finish the deal. Low balling a stubborn club in Napoli rarely works.

They could have kept upping the price,business 101 is not just coughing up what you are asked for especially in the football world,if we didn't agree on his value thats it,it's not so difficult to understand really

Well if it’s true and Chelsea offered 10m more for him Fair do’s to Chelsea and player didn’t really want us.

I’d treat any news that Chelsea are lobbing an extra £10m at him with suspicion - this is a club that have been refusing to pay Conte off all summer and refusing to meet Sarri’s release clause/. Not sure this all adds up.

 

[Marvin]

I feel that if we didn't sign him, we didn't want him that much. We will have known about his options.

Agreed. Match Chelsea bid and they offer another £5m? Walk away now

They are in disarray. Paying over the odds is exactly what I think they would do because they are under pressure

 

[waspish]

Geniune reports he’s going to sign for Chelsea now. This is exactly like Sanchez and Alves. People complaining about flappers and then a reliable source confirms it and City’s journalist come out to save face by pushing a narrative that the player chose money over us.

We have faffed about for 2 months on this. I wouldn’t be remotely surprised if it is true. We’ve been here before.

If he goes to Chelsea why do you think we missed out on him?

 

[Homar]

I have never been convinced that he was the right player for us and so I’m really not bothered if we don’t sign him. However, wasting so much time negotiating over a small sum in the grand scheme of things will have implications. There is not much time now to start from scratch on yet another target, who we’ll no doubt pay well over the odds for.
