Jorginho

[johnmc]

50% more than we willing to pay?...So we were only ever willing to pay 30mil for Jorginho? That was never going to work.....Once Fabinho and Fred got signed, the market narrows and Napoli know this....this is the reason why rags/Liverpool got their deals done early!

Maths not your strong point

No £40m.

If Kovacic is keen you pay €50m for him all day long. That's not even a question for me. Convincing him is the hard part.

'Little fucker' is almost of the same height as KdB.

He's a medium fucker.

 

[deano ou812]

Its natural that as other teams make signings we are going to get squeezed. Hopefully we are better now at negotiating?????

Squeezed,they’re taking the piss if that amount of £60 mill+ is true,move on to other targets ..

If 60m is 50% more than what we're willing to pay, we would offer max 40, not 30

We wanted to pay 40m. 50% more of 40m = 40 + 0.5x40 = 40 + 20 = 60m

You are Samuel L Jackson and I'll claim my £5 when you come back from the dead in the next film.

There’s a job going at the UEFA accounts department for you sir - creativity with numbers is a must

Cheers mate....didnt realise that figure was based on our original valuation!:) Kovacic is more a "Fred" type midfielder and not a like for like for Jorginho, so it just looks like we just going round in circles with this one...

Always a good idea to think before you type!;)

Genuinely a little embarrassed if that 40 million being our max is true. There's tough negotiating and then there's just being naive. Napoli have no reason to sell, he even said he was happy, he is a key man for them and they're an Italian club (so always ask for top dollar) run by a complete megalomaniac. To think we could get him for a bargain with all the talk of us not buying many players and him being our top target is just silly.

Wouldn't mind us walking away at 60 million, that is too much, but if we genuinely weren't interested in going over 40 then what was the point in the first place?

 

[Dax777]

Excellent article. Jorginho is indeed a Registss or a Quarter Back Dax ;-D

Quarterback is one word... But I digress ;p

 

[mscenterh750]

According to reports on city watch, should we not agree anything for Jorginho, then we will turn to either kovacic at real or lemina at Southampton.

 

[Edwin Edwin]

He is good..One of the best registas in Europe..A more polished version of Gündogan.And that's that.
Mateo Kovacic is better though and more complete than him,only 24 and a 50 M € release clause only.

Well the media might stop the “city can spend what they want”! Bullshit we not been self sufficient for 3 seasons for nothing we have to negotiate fees down not splash the cash to what every club wants for there players.
