Jorginho

[cityzens]

City seriously need to re-think the way they are doing business. This is the third time it happens in a short period of time. As someone else posted, if you want the very best players, you simply have to take into consideration you will be challenged by other clubs. If City continue like this, we will never attract the very best.

If you’re looking into a player for the long term, in this case Jorginho for Fernandinho, you pay up, not arguing over a few millions pounds. It’s stupid considering the money City have.
This could come back for us, if Fernandinho for some reason gets injured early in the season, we would ’only have Delph’.
Don’t get me wrong, he is good but not Jorginho-good.

Also, considering City knew the Napoli owner could be tricky, why not adding a few millions just to secure the transfer?
None of this makes any sense.

This same code of conduct you mean? You are actively encouraging breaking it but then making up protocol to enforce it?

I'd report your breach of it but you'd probably get to deal with it anyway.

All you do is moan about the moderation of the site.

Do it by PM if you have to do it and better still, do it to Ric and then you cant claim its us dealing with it and ignoring your concerns.

Didn’t know a shit transfer that fell through would cause a civil war in the forum hahaha cmon guys clubs been doing everything they can we don’t know everything just let it die and respect each other. Let’s get ready for this upcoming season our club is going to need us this year expecting great things

Very strange move.

Clearly there was a lot going on between Chelsea and Napoli, to the extent Napoli announced a new manager without sacking Sarri. Conte taking pre-season training was bizarre also.

Why would you go to Chelsea instead of City right now? Not in the Champions League, very poorly run with the managerial situation, possible their best player will leave and I’m not even sure you’d get more money there. Something a bit odd happened here IMO.

Something VERY VERY odd happened here.

So odd I saw it coming about two, possibly three weeks ago.

De Laurentiis is the real culprit. The player doesn’t come out of this with much credibility either.

Time to move on, there are plenty of quality CM’s in world football.

Why does what others say bother you so much? City are the club I support, and have done for over 50 years. the press (and others) have had an anti City/pro rag agenda for years, and whatever we do, it’s here to stay

Mainly because a lot of its unfair and not proportionate.
Even when we were shit I still wouldn't have it, not if it wasn't fair criticism anyway.
Your right it aint going away anytime soon but that doesn't mean a lot of media generated shit should not be challenged on here and directly to other fans.

Not fussed about Jorginho, I was never that excited about signing him. Much better that we got Mahrez.

We can use Delph in midfield, he’d be just as good if not better. Pep may even be looking for another midfielder anyway, transfer window has a while to go yet.

I agree. I know it's nice to get a new shiny toy and all that, but I think he could do a good job there if called upon.

What a shame fellaini resigned for the mardarses, he would've been a good foil for what we have.

I would break the bank for Matuidi. Paris told us to back off a couple years ago or they would come after our guys.

If we offer enough, Juve might consider it, especially after the Ronaldo outlay.

Vidal is two years younger than Fern but his injuries are dodgy.

Matuidi is a good shout.

 

[argyle]

Was it a case of him always wanting Chelsea no matter what we paid?

Or a case of our negotiating team trying to be too clever and penny-pinching that it allowed another team to swoop in and pay what Napoli wanted?

Let's hope he doesn't have the impact that Hazard had like the last time we wouldn't pay what was needed.

I'd rather not buy than end up with a Rodwell if it's true it was Jorginho or bust.
