Jorginho

The walking football argument is dumb considering Napoli play with more speed,  movement and intensity then we do.

Dont bother with these lot. They never watched Napoli and think the best solution to stopping Pep Guardiola in the coming years is to play 20th century football with a traditional number 9 who can hold the ball with all his 6'5 ft height. Because that's how Real Madrid and more recently Liverpool bested them! Not. 

 
                Courtois
Azpi - Rugani - Rudiger - Emerson
           Kante - Jorginho
    Willian - Golovin - Hazard
                 Morata

I’ve heard he’s decent but him & seri had 4 & 6 assists in the league last season respectively. Are we going to have enough assists in the side? Or would they come from further forward from someone like Golovin or RLC or Mount?

 
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


Tom, when I finally sell the club and retire to live full time on my Eclipse yacht among bottles of Cristal, bowls of caviar and high class escorts, there'll always be a place for you there, my friend, for you are a joy to be around.

 
Thought City would have signed him up a month ago, somehow they haven't and I believe we are in the chase because of the Sarri factor, just not sure whom we are waiting for, the manager or the player to get this deal done. They played hard ball for a month over 5M, I don't see why they just would  let City have him for 35-40M.

It's absolutely tragic. Now all we need is for someone to claim it just blocks youth players
Not happy with this signing at all, all it’s going to block the progress of our youth players, what more can RLC and Mount possibly do to earn a place in the team when we’re signing average players like this purely to block their path!!!!

:wink:

 
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 
Seri is off to Fulham

And it was DiMarzio reporting this, so it is most likely true.

Could mean we are indeed signing Golovin, so if the Jorginho rumors prove true, we would have Golovin-Jorginho-Cesc-RLC-Bakayoko-Kante-Barkley-Drinkwater

At least 2 must be sold or loaned out.

Drinkwater is basically nailed on to go this summer. See a rumour linking him to Newcastle today and West Ham have apparently shown an interest too. 

My guess would be that either Golovin or RLC go out on loan. 

 
Agreed, I would like to see Drinkwater sold and either Baka or Barkley loaned

 
I’d expect Barkley to be loaned. He made what 2 apparences in the spring. He needs to get back in shape for the league. He’s young so he could come good. 

 
The Independent now reporting that Manchester City have pulled out of any potential deal for Jorginho paving the way for us to sign him, meanwhile Italian newspaper Il Messaggero is reporting that we have agreed a €65m fee with Napoli.

That fee has to be inclusive of Sarri as well.  Jorginho alone I do not believe is worth that price tag

 
I don't agree with others saying we should loan or even sell Barkley, he would be one of the midfielders i would keep. Even if we bring in Golovin and Jorginho, we would still lack goals from midfield and Barkley is the only midfielder we have that can score goals from midfield.

I agree.  I would honestly go for Baka on loan.  The guy seriously needs to improve his form and prove he can play in this league. At least Barkley has shown competency playing PL football.  Jorginho/Kante, Golovin/Barkley, and Fabregas should be enough.  Maybe keep RLC if we plan on rotating him out wide as well and as cover for a midfield spot.  Sell Drinkwater, obviously.
