Jorginho

[Thorin Oakenshield]

It's one of his weaknesses

Could it be possible that jorginho is going to play futher forward in midfield as an 8?

No. Doesn't make any sense. He's a readymade 'pivot' for a Pep team, I don't see any significant weaknesses in him. He even makes more tackles per game than Dinho, according to Whoscored.

In pursuance of Utd's latest transfer policy I see Utd are now trying to bag Jorgingho by Gazumping us.
It's actually quite good for us and filtering out the wheat from the chaff - those who want to better themselves for a good wage will come to Pep - those that just want the cash will go to Utd.

This lad is the missing piece of the jigsaw. He will be absolutely dynamite in the centre of the park. His passing and through balls will allow Kev to not have to come deep as often and it will take us to the summit of European football. can't wait

You are obsessed with buying a superstar,you don't seem to understand how we do things,everyone we have is equal and within our pay structure and we are not doing anything different messi aside

So you don't think our interest in Hazard and Mbappe is genuine then?

I thing they are players we would be interested in IF they became available, but I also think the club dont expect they will, and are planning for a different option which seems to be Bailey. I'm sure they would change tack if Hazard or Mbappe became possible but I think they are fairly comfortable adding someone like Bailey to what we already have, and letting Pep improve him like he has Sane and Sterling.

Looks ideal to play the role Kdb has been playing 2nd half of season and means David and Kdb can get some needed rest throughout the season.

Should try to include Zinchenko in the deal. Napoli tried to sign him last summer, and according to that interview he doesn`t look super happy here. Would also count as a foreign player next year, and would eventually take one of 17 spots. 35-40m + Zinchenko

 

[domalino]

€70m. That's a lot of money for Jorginho.

Have you read the whole interview? It's fairly long, but of course English press have picked up only certain pieces. No, Zinchenko isn't unhappy, just points to some cultural differences. Probably feels a bit homesick, but that's absolutely normal.

As for Napoli's interest in Zinny, Napoly have reportely declined to take him on loan with an option to buy last summer.

Tbf, in a world where Laporte costs £57m, Matic - £40m, £62m for Jorginho starts to look like a fair price.

Don`t forget Sigurdsson to Everton for 45m and Drinkwater to Chelsea for 37m

We are going to get linked when there is no link,do i believe we would change our whole policy,no.Pep has said just recently the club have told him he can't spend 100m on a player and he agrees,we are not a look at me because i spent 100m on a player,we don't need to do that to be successful given as we just won the league again

Fred - €55m, Jorginho - €70m, what's your choice ?

 

[Daz_Blue]

Fred - €55m, Jorginho - €70m, what's your choice ?

Freinho for 62m

 

[Larry Stranger]

Fred - €55m, Jorginho - €70m, what's your choice ?

It depends. By the looks of it Fred might be pulling a Sanchez and might want a salary we're not willing to pay. If Jorginho is fine with whatever he's offered and wants to come here and play for Pep then it's a no brainer.

 

[Delphinho]

Fred - €55m, Jorginho - €70m, what's your choice ?

Fabinho. His price would be similar to Jorginho, and he's probably the best U25 DM in the world

 

[BringBackSwales]

Don`t forget Sigurdsson to Everton for 45m and Drinkwater to Chelsea for 37m

Did drinkwater really cost 37M?

Some say 37, some say 35. Don't know what's the price, but he's deffo not worth it

Unbelievable amount for a bang average player
