What's new

Jorginho

I don' think we are getting Golovin. If so, he won't play for us, maybe a loan to another club. Golovin wouldn't make sense if we got Jorginho and/or Seri. Barkley is already here too. Drinkwater will get sold no doubt.

Someone please tell me something about this player. Is he any good? Who would he replace if anyone?

He's got an exosotic name, that's about it, city were buying him as a squad player, people are talking as if he's the second coming, don't see any of the big boys sniffing around him though. Our level these days. Played in the walking football league known as the Italian league, so don't hold much hope, nice to be proved wrong and he's another Zola!!

He plays as a deep lying playmaker for Sarri, our only current player really suited to the same role is Fabregas (although he would struggle at least initially with the defensive side of the role).

If we play the exact same formation as Napoli we would also need a box to box workhorse which would suit Kante (and maybe Bakayoko/ Ampadu) and a mobile roaming playmaker RLC, Golovin and Barkley spring to mind for the role 

Jorginho fills a massive hole in our squad for Sarri's Napoli formation

Amazing how now we're rumoured to be signing him he's become a player no one else wants other than city as a squad player. 

 
If Jorginho, Sari and Golovin come they would have to get rid of Cesc, Bakayoko and Barkley

Could spell the end for RLC as he would be 5th choice. 

Personnally I don’t see us signing Jorginho as Seri is in London today for talks with Chelsea and they both play a very similar role of dropping deep to distribute the ball 

I would also like to see Mount in the 1st team squad next year and get a few games in cups etc 

 
Fantastic signing if we get him. The next best thing to Busquets in that position. Also strong indicator of Sarri coming in.

"Fast attacking Football here from Chelsea, Sarri has got them playing like this every week! Kante receives the pass, plays it to Golovin who dances his way through to find Jorginho who through balls it to Morata who's through on Goal....OH MY GOD! WHAT A MISS! Wait, Hazard with the rebound! Chelsea score!"
Chelsea 1 - 3 Man City

City have got a great squad though, I'm sure a lot of us would've been happy with bernardo silva last summer, and he has only been a squad player city so far.

Fernandinho is 33, I'm sure city would be seeing jorginho as his replacement over next season. 

Most of the best teams in the world already have a player or two of jorginho's ilk in their team already, so it's understandable real, barca, bayern, and psg aren't in for him, because he is wouldn't be a clear upgrade on the likes of busquets, thiago, verratti, kroos. Certainly no shame in that. 

I think the excitement around this possible signing, would be that it would hopefully help sarri implement his style easier, since jorginho is a main cog in his napoli side. 

I don't get why there is so much snobbery around signing a player from outside the premier league, especially when said player has played well in the champions league against top opposition. 

Salah came from 'the walking football league' and broke goal scoring records. 

There are great players that play outside of the big teams, and the big leagues, every transfer is a gamble anyway, and we have probably had more success with bringing in players from outside of the premier league, than we have with domestic transfers. 

If you aren't happy with signing jorginho, I'm not sure there will be any pleasing you to be honest.
