Brilliant Loz, laughing my arse off!

Not my type of footballer, but I realise that he had some value and support in the team. However no player made me shout at the screen more than Jorginho with his sideways, backways 5 yd pointless passes. 
Good professional who never seemed to grumble and appeared to be liked in the squad. 
Hopefully this has eventually seen the end of Sarriball which has run through the team since his induction but this type of football is boring and must stop if we are to return to the entertaining club we are.

Hate to sell to Arse but it’s good business and saves us probably £15m incl wages which can be put against incomings.

Big decision for Potter

Who takes pens? Who takes vice captaincy?

With Enzo now finally done I can rest easy. Appreciate Jorginho’s services and the 2 European cup finals, but it’s evident we’ve outgrown him as a team for 3 seasons now.

This is just page 1 of 78 since last night, looks like Arsenal fans are thrilled for him to be joining!

The disrespect is mad, but hilarious nonetheless. Also the lackofthreat joke just wow their fan base is toxic as hell so funny to see. Maybe agent Jorgi can throw their title challenge 🤞🏿

Vice Thiago, penalties Kai imo

Tip my hat to Jorginho, started in every one of our cup winning successes during his time, never complained, took sh** from the fans and smiled, came from a tough background and forced his way to the top of the tree through ability and personality. Worked hard, was rarely stopped from playing by injury and just did his job.

He has achieved more than most pros ever will. Congratulations and fare well.

James for pens (Havertz or Felix when he's not fit).

Silva for vice for now (then captain if/when Azpi leaves with James vice to prepare a Desailly/Terry esque changeover).

In other words build around Reece.

Hmm. James vice captain, James on pens.

Never rated him, but I felt he got far too much hate. I’m glad he’s left, I just don’t like that he’s gone to arsenal

What's the point of this post?

Thanks for the memories Jorgi. A divisive player for most of his time at the club.

Struggled against teams that pressed and so often had games that passed him by, but he is possibly the best 2 yard passer and pointer we ever had.

Won the lot and will always be grateful for the role he played. But now we can move forward. Phew.

LOZ, BRILLIANT 👏👏👏 This sums him up perfectly, and personally I thought he was a SH1T penalty taker @Nibs I hope he is now taking them for the disgruntled Gooners

He scored 89% of his penalties for us. So clearly he wasn't a sh*t penalty taker.

Thiago Vice Captain when Dave goes and Reece gets the Captaincy.

If Enzo can take penalties give them him to stat pad, if not wouldn't mind James on them.

Vice-Captaincy for T.Silva, likely to be passed to James after next season.

Thanks for everything Jorginho, good luck!

The actual picture that should be used to sum up his time with us.

Wonderful servant to the club. Booed at the Bridge to start his career at the club only to work even harder for the club instead of turning into a whiny bastard like many others would. Turned it all around and won some of the biggest honours before moving on. Wants to come back to the club in some capacity after his career is over and I very much hope that happens. Many should be ashamed by some of the words they've called him over the years but I suspect they won't be thick as they are.

Thanks Jorginho.

Thanks to Jorginho we have been a stable team and it turns out Arteta bought the whole idea of having him prior to us hijacking the transfer from Man City, so it wasn't just Pep. Scary to think that Arteta could win the league but one thing is for sure, he got his player, albeit after a few years but he did it.

The only worthy name as the upgrade was Enzo and we got him, a new era begins today, thank you Jorginho for your best years, once a blue...

I must have suffered about 30+ heart attacks.

There's a big chance he ends up the first player to lift both the PL and UCL in the 20s.

Goes without saying I hope that doesn't happen by for a supposed useless player there's sure been a lot of random coincidences to suggest the total opposite.

As much as I think his time was up with us, and as much as I think that he was a bit of a liability in some kind of games, he was a good player against some other type of teams (Liverpool comes to mind) and in Europe. I think it is good business to get £15m for him but I do also think that he's not going to flop at Arsenal. They have the creativity up front and in the midfield for him to help them and control their game when required. I don't think he's going to be on the first team sheet, but he will play in Europe and gives them a rotation option. I don't like the fact that we've sold him to Arsenal, and I would have rather let him go on a free back to Italy. Hopefully, I'm wrong and he flops there and helps them to slip into mediocrity, where they deserve to be.

Time to move this thread now?

Still gutted he's gone, probably the most gutted I've been about a player leaving since Mata left for United. I would have said Hazard but at least he went abroad, I've gotta see Jorgi wearing that sh*tty red rag every week.

As for penalties, I read yesterday that Felix could take over but we'll see.

After Cech got there things changed my perspective but I honesty thought he'll end up in Juventus during the summer so I'm having a lot of mixed feelings since we did get Enzo and overall this is a serious upgrade but I wonder how long can Arsenal keep winning...

If Arsenal get a penalty against us, Jorghy will give the wrong tips to Saka
