Jorginho

From our side I'd imagine Pep identifies/approves the target but the actual negotiating is principally done by Txiki with Khaldoon and Ferran Soriano having a say as well. Who else would there be?

From the players side you would have his Agent,Advisers,Accountants and Lawyers and therefore we too would have our own Lawyers.

Same few repeat the same nonsense every transfer window no matter how many times they are put straight on how it works

They sure do pet and yet Txiki still comes up (most times) smelling of roses.Its just the nonsensical few who don`t understand that even he will be guided by Sorano and possibly Khaldoon,as to when to pull away from a deal.

Yes. He's done well, but even last year there was a pattern to our transfers (except Bernardo): 1st bid rejected, 2nd bid rejected, transfer done at the asking price.

I don't see your point

Trust in Txiki !

Takes time , but usually turns out for the better.

All of these on both sides as you say,we don't spent 50/60/70 million on players without it being air tight on both sides,i think people have lost sight of what that amount of money really is,it's not monopoly money

I’m appalled- thinking of returning my season ticket it’s nearly June and we haven’t signed anyone. Sort it out City.

Wonder if Liverpool getting Fabinho for £39.3m would help us in Jorginho's fee?

Interestingly we've also made a bid of £39m.

Not if Big Yaya Wilco has his way :-)

It's £43.9m (€50m)

He would pay £70m..

 

[Jalfraag]

He would pay £70m..

That's his opening offer just before they move the goalposts.

£39mill is an insult and Napoli will just hold out for even more. I’m all for trying to get a bargain but to totally lowball a player always ends up bad and costing even more

I wonder who our alternative is. Fred would be an excellent purchase for most of the top teams but he doesn’t really offer anything we don’t already have.

Not sure it would be the end of the world if we pulled out, assuming we have other targets in place.

Fred, imo would have been perfectly ok.

We have to takes some weight off Fernandinho imo, as he is being overworked, by quite a lot, & also sometimes could do with a partner.

I like Jorginho, but I'm sure we'll find someone to fit the job if anything goes wrong.
