Jorginho

If the recent coaching carousel is any indication this man is our new #1 target for Sarri. City is tempting for him but I have got to assume a top team in the PL with the coach who made him is equally tempting.

Except for defensive superstars in Maka and Cole, and then there's Sheva. Yes, we know what happened but he scored 26 and 28 goals in his final two seasons for Milan (in 80 games in total, which was extremely impressive pre-MessiRonaldo times). It was a mega signing and an extremely expensive one in those times.

Even Torres was a superstar in terms of status, although his fitness and form was already waning prior to the transfer.

Crespo was a very big signing as well btw.

I agree with what you're trying to say but Chels have definitely lost pulling power though. And that's because the money they offer simply isn't as impressive as it once was.

As is often the case, Sheva’s stats were misleading. Anyone who watched him at the 2006 World Cup knew he had nothing to offer Chelsea. There were special circumstances involved in his capture, one of which was that no club with a sensible recruitment policy would have spent big-money and big wages on him at that stage of his career. Not a difficult signing to complete.

Inter were prepared to let Crespo go. Contrast their attitude on that deal with their absolute refusal to do business on Vieri at more than twice the price. Look at Hernan’s career and you’ll see evidence that clubs were always more enthusiastic about buying him, than they were about keeping him once he was on the books. Not a difficult signing to complete.

Nando’s output in the first part of his Liverpool contract was the only high performing period of his career. I never believed in him even while he was scoring heavily for the scousers. The day we bought Nando I was deeply depressed at our stupidity. As you imply that was not a difficult signing to complete.

Maka himself said he came to Chelsea because no club he preferred to join was prepared to pay his fee or his wages. Not a difficult signing to complete.

We never had the pulling power to attract genuinely high status players. The ones we were able to sign were those whose status was not as high as it might have seemed. Even then we were forced to overcome the reluctance of even that level of player by wildly overpaying fees and wages. Now that we are no longer doing that we are bound to suffer at the top end of the market but our record of recruiting young talent is not so bad.

I dearly hope we will sign him but I'm not holding my breath.

We expected to see an influx of top Italians following The Don. Still waiting.

Napoli reporter claiming Jorginho is in the home stretch with Man City. Will be tough to overtake them even if we announce Sarri.

I’d say impossible. I’m afraid we’ve manoeuvred ourselves into a place where some players would even accept lesser contracts to play elsewhere rather than join us. It was always like that but billions of pounds of spending later things could, and should, have been better. Instead, if anything, it is worse than ever.

So what do you do? Stay patient, accept that it will take time to change our image and set off on a long term plan to establish a new perception of our club. It’ll take a commitment to positive football of quality. Stability would be nice too, but it’s less important than erasing the perception people have of CFC.

Indeed, but with current board I'd say thats impossible. The club needs heart and soul to create something meaningful. Our board consists of people who are there to turn money around and make everything in balance, but no one knows jackshit how to create something, like SAF did back with United. I hate that word, but board is bunch of plastic people with exception of Roman. but he himself sadly doesnt have knowledge how to operate football club in sporting ways.

Manchester City have had their first official bid of €45million (£39.5million) for Napoli midfielder Jorginho rejected by the Serie A club, according to Rai Sport.

Would he be your 1st choice as a Kante partner?

I'm leaning toward Savic but APPARENTLY Manure had a £96Mill bid knocked back

Im big fan of Jorginho I love his Pirlo style of play I would happy with Kante Jorginho RLC/barkley trio in midfield KK Jorginho and Icardi or martial would be a good transfer window for us

I would emit sex wee if we managed that window mate.

Its so important for us to bring in creativity all over the pitch, front to back.And thise are all fit for the job.

With the dippers looking like they got Naby Keïta, and manure hell for learther after Savic (imagine him with Pog!) we really have to get Kante a proper partner.

Its entered my mind that Roman MIGHT be thinking about selling us. With visa probs, money market, relocating to Israel, he might want to  get rid of us??? We would be in proper shit then.
