Jorginho

[GeorgeHeslop'sTackle.]

Jorginho makes sense as a replacement for Yaya and cover for Fernandinho who at 33 may begin to struggle. It doesn't make any sense as a replacement for Silva

Funnily enough I heard Gabrielle Marcotti, on Radio 5 live the other night, say that, in his opinion, Jorginho’s particular skills are more suited to playing higher up the field, in the Silva role, rather than playing further back alongside (or deputising for) Ferna at DM.

But then again, when your DM’s starting position, prior to kick off, is, more often than not, standing on the halfway line, I don’t ‘spose it matters all that much

FFS Marv it’s not me saying it pep said David won’t play as much next season!

And well done to all conerned for that.

Merlin is undoubtedly irreplaceable & we’ll miss his creativity badly whenever he isn’t on the field next season.

However it’s typical of our current ownership that they’re more than willing to put David’s own personal/family situation, way before the best interests of the club as a whole.

You definitely can’t buy that sort of class.

Looks like they have their replacement lined up....

Claudio Russo‏Verified account @claudioruss 2m2 minutes ago
Midfielder Fabian Ruiz has agreed to join Napoli, source told @CalcioNapoli24 that club will pay Betis Sevilla his €30M release clause when Jorginho/Hamsik will be sold (Manchester City, Chinese League clubs)

Lobotka is the replacement for Jorginho. Ruiz is their replacement for Hamsik.

 

[ScottSinclair]

Off topic, but a disgrace if Hamsik goes to China

Yeah especially if it is by slow boat.

This is where the jorginho money is going

David's replacement might already be here and already nicely bedded in.

We will miss Silva. I hope he signs up for a rollibg 1 year extebsion as I can see him playing till he's 37. Then again Foden is going to be the mutts nuts.

Not sure Vierra will be too happy about that.

Not sure Vierra will be too happy about that.

He’ll probably already have been worded up about this before arrival...

I've heard that there is a good chance that Luiz will end up going to Nice on loan

 

[Delphinho]

I've heard that there is a good chance that Luiz will end up going to Nice on loan

As in Douglas Luiz?

 

[lightning Rodri]

In general Vieira and Nice might be a good option for some of our youngsters.

 

[mattyb]

As in Douglas Luiz?

Yes mate

 

[kaz7]

I've heard that there is a good chance that Luiz will end up going to Nice on loan

Saw that yesterday but also pep will assess him in pre-season first

 

[richards30]

Yes mate

are we close on Jorginho matty ?

 

[Delphinho]

Yes mate

Any idea about where Diaz will play next season?

 

[Manx Blue]

Along with Belinda Carlisle so does this cryptically mean we have been gazumpted by Carlisle United?

I knew someone would mention that!!

 

[IBlue]

I've heard that there is a good chance that Luiz will end up going to Nice on loan

So smoothing over the jorginho move, Seri to Napoli and we send Luiz to Nice as a sweetner

@Marvin sorry mate just read my post back from this morning. Sorry for any confusion but wasn’t meaning that Jorginho would be more creative than David Silva, didn’t explain it properly what I meant. It was more in the fact that without Merlin as per what pep said that we would be more creative if kev was as pushed further forward And dinho and Jorginho played together but not as a comparison to last season. If it was up to me David would start every game but I think the club are allowing him to spend more time back home. Sorry for being sharp, don’t think the caffeine had kicked in. ;-)
