Jorginho

No commercial flights from Naples today either.

A idea what the ferry situation is, mate? Are they running a full service today with the England game being on?

 

[Wrighty Wrexham]

Not fussed sign or don't we will cover position. Marhes is the one for me can see him being a major signing

 

[Ric]

Private jets from Athens,Newcastle,Luton and Amsterdam make of that whatever you want!

We're signing Jonjo Shelvey instead?

I think he meant Newcastle under Lyme. The M6 is a fucking nightmare at the moment. I reckon we’re signing Charlie Adams.

I’d not mind that actually if Pep had the faith in him. The man is a strange kind of genius/tragedy.

If the ferries are anything like me they will be doing fuck all most of the day then trying to sneak home early.

Haha! Fair play. I won’t tell anyone, I promise ;-)

Thiago might be plan B

I said this earlier, but Jorginho's been waiting around for a month and a half for us to finish off the details of this move, eventually as a player you're going to get itchy feet and wonder why the club seem so indifferent to signing you quickly and will haggle for 2 months over 2.5m. He will have seen how Sanchez waited all summer and then didn't get his move last year as well.

Then someone offers you the same money, the same high prestige league, a team that's won 15 trophies in 15 years and you get to stay with the manager who made your career take off. And the Mrs. is happy because it's in London too.

Yeah I get that, it's just an odd move considering the lack of Champions League. But, it wouldn't be without it's merits. It wasn't a post about Chelsea being a terrible option by the way, or that people should only wamt City, just that at this time, from a footballing stance, City are a more attractive option.

I'd be more than happy with that.

 

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

Guess this is why we have been so interested in him..

Nainggolan: "My toughest opponent? I'd say Jorginho. He always plays in small spaces, with one-metre passes. It's difficult to keep up with him or to try to cut out his passes. You get very tired because he distributes the ball very quickly yet he remains practically still".

 

[FCBarca]

I'd be more than happy with that.

So would I but considering how much it appears City are looking to spend, they may indeed be looking elsewhere - although I can't see Kovacic being sold for less than Jorginho. De Jong does not look to be going anywhere this summer so. Yet, I am certain there is a great prospect being considered as an alternative - may not be the popular option but if Pep targets them, they are a legitimate pivot

So hes javi garvia with less pace?

 

[SPIDERBOY]

Quite a few reports saying Juve are paying for Ronaldo by selling Higuain and Rugani to Chelsea.
Add to that Jorginho,plus the fee for Sarri and the pay off for Conte and his staff......it's a lot of dollar.

 

[richards30]

If Jorginho is off the menu would Love us to try and get Thiago from Bayern!

 

[Gremlin]

Rumour on Talksport this morning (I know, I know) that Abramovitch is walking from Chelsea - wonder how that might shake things up if true.

 

[Rammyblues]

Hazard to Real might help fund them!!!

 

[robbieh]

Busquets might like a new challenge.

 

[Plain Speaking]

Thiago might be plan B

Is Pep's brother still his agent?

(I've always thought Thiago would be a good fit at United, he seems to have an arrogant attitude.)

 

[robbieh]

A lot of transfers probably depend on Hazard. After last night he might want to go somewhere he will win the biggest prizes. Does the new Madrid coach want him? What then Ascensión, Bale?
If Chelsea get 120m for him then they can start to rebuild.
