the club picked Jorginho and spent the last 6 months working on this deal for a reason

For me this is the key point I will hold my hand up and say I don't know pretty much anything about this guy, but if the club has spent 6 months chasing him, that is time and cost and basic resources the club has "spent" that could have been employed more productively if it had been spent elsewhere. So while ohhh just walk away might be our gut reaction, it might not be the prudent one and seeing as we spent the previous 6 months tracking Fred we have now been looking for this position as one of our(if not our main)target for 12 months.
 
We offered them what’s we think he’s worth to us. We get into a bidding war with Chelsea then we end up paying 70 or 80 mil for a not clearly first choice midfielder. We finished as champions with 100 points and Chelsea were nobodies last season. He’s worth a lot more to them than he is to us which is why we won’t go into a bidding war with Chelsea
 
Been a bit of a boring saga this one. Fern has got a couple of years left in him if need be. A crap world cup won't change that. Only a knee jerker would think so.

It’s when dinho is injured or possibly suspended that we have a problem then mate?

well other than the fact we have been looking to fill this gap in the squad for 12 months so it's hardly "knee jerk" and one only need to look back to losing Nigel de Jong to see that it's not the easiest position to replace.

We saw a player, probably still do, Pep could mould into a Fernandinho replacement over the next season. We have a price we will pay for that. If we cant get him for that or he doesn't want it enough then we find another player. Pep is good enough to coach the right player for the right price.
I would put money on whoever we sign becoming a better player than the player we don't sign, it's Peps position he knows it better than anyone.
 
This is the one position we are desperate for yet are about to splurge on mahrez? Don’t get me wrong I want mahrez but if we had to pick one would sort DM more than an extra attacker
 
Am I right in thinking it's still only that Alfredo Pedulla bloke who is banging the drum about Jorginho having all but signed for Chelsea?

If that's the case, then this is still more likely to be a negotiating tactic by ADL than a true representation of the current state of play in this transfer. Pedulla's source will clearly be a briefing from ADL, which is being put out there for a reason - and what he's wanted all along is a bidding war for the player. See it as an attempt to get that moving, nothing more at this stage.

If other outlets start to report this at source - particularly outlets in the UK, from the Chelsea or City ends - then I'd be thinking very differently. But at the moment, this is clearly an angle briefed by Napoli, to serve their agenda.

And by other outlets, I don't mean some fake Social Media account from some bloke on the internet pretending to be Jorginho's mother!
