Jorginho

So happy that there was the 'gentlemans agreement' that Sarri wouldn't take any players with him

Gotta love ADL the crazy fucker!

You will all hate me. But Marina has bollocks, she is extremely tough during negotiations, and right to be so. The Board, i.e. Marina and Roman, did a great job far.

Now I really hope we will not loose Hazard to RM or Barca. I am less concerned about Luiz, Willian and Courtois.

 

Id love to know what the conversations were like with Roman. I would think that personal touch helped the deal along.

Lets hope hes got a meeting planned with Eden very soon and he gives him an offer he can't refuse!

The club not spending any money anymore is a myth, we spent loads last season it was just on the wrong players and our budget was spread out too much across too many players.

Not being bullied around anymore because we're seen as an easy money train though is the correct approach. We now refuse to overpay, which is completely different to being prepared to splash out as we've spent big money on Morata and Jorginho in back to back summers. And our work in the last couple of seasons getting big money for player sales has been excellent and should be commended.

There's always room for improvement but I do feel the board get unnecessarily panned at times because some fans were spoilt with how we went about things 10 years ago, which resulted in us getting burnt quite a few times.

Welcome to Chelsea Football Club, Jorginho, great signing, just the type of player we needed to play alongside Kante, looking forward to watch this guy play, already knows Sarri and his style of play, adaptation in England will be no problem for sure, best of luck here and may he helps us win many titles. Cheers and KTBFFH

Speaking of which, I wonder if he converses in Portuguese or Italian.

I see you're no longer worried about City coming in??

Jorginho's no fool, he knows Chelsea is the best club in England.

Guy is going to be key to everything we do under Sarri, as long as he succeeds here he brings our MF up another notch. 

Jorginho is going to be the brains, Kante will be Kante.. recovering balls, breaking the lines etc and now its interesting to see what happens with the 3rd MF player, if it will be Cesc further up or Barkley or somebody else entirely but like with Kante its scary how one very good signing can elevate a team. Don't expect us to stop there either, Rugani although I'm not 100% sure hes a better player than any of the defenders we already have has already worked with Sarri and obviously fits the mould of what hes looking for as well as a few other players. Reckon we will get another wide player too even if Eden stays.

The folks on Bluemoon are saying Delph is actually better than Jorgie. Hahaha. They literally cannot believe that we have gazumped them to this signing. Are they forgetting how many trophies we have won in the past decade. We have been crowned Champions of Europe. City have been wearing Quarter Finalist badges for the past few months. Jokers.

Aye same on twitter, they are butthurt, same as with Fred, Sanchez etc. I can't believe this whole Jorginho bullied to Chelsea story either, what a shower of shite, Pep is Pep but Sarri basically moulded Jorginho into the player he is today and I'd imagine 3/4s of that Napoli team would take the same chance to work under him again here than go to City. Delph? Delph is an average footballer, he is only at City to fill up a HG quota space just like Danny Drinkwater is here. Jorginho is a different class of player and even every one of those idiotic City fans know that.

Also if they didn't dick around with their bids originally they'd have done it sooner, so they really should be blaming themselves. I think we got a bit lucky how everything just managed to be worked out alright in the last 48 hours in terms of the Sarri and Jorginho deals after god knows how much media speculation and other bullshit that was around the whole situation with Conte not being sacked etc earlier as well.

It's not just Jorginho has worked with Sarri. There's also the fact that City have tons of players in their team. Jorginho might not be starting every week there while he would be here. Bernardo Silva, for instance, was hardly a first team player last season and even Gundogan to a certain extent.

Can’t underestimate how huge this signing is - we actually managed to steal a player that Pep’s Champions proper coveted... also signals a philosophy change. Kanté and Jorginho will be a joy to watch.

Plus, we also signed him without Champions League football!

Jorginho would walk into City’s eleven imo. He’s better than 33yo Fernandinho and that crock Gundogan - that would be his competition. They wouldn’t spent £50m on a bench player.

They spent 60 million on Mahrez and I doubt he would be a first team player.

[Pizy 18,368]

Just thinking about how Sarriball, having Jorginho as the metronome in our midfield, and playing with 3 in midfield means that we should never ever be surrendering the lions share of possession to small teams or letting the likes of fucking Watford, Burnley, Bournemouth etc pen us in our own half like they did last season.

We should now have the tactics and the personnel to dominate the ball against anyone other than maybe City in the league.

Mahrez could easily start. Point is he isn’t really going to sit on the bench per se, he’s gone because the squad needs some competition and depth. Could easily start over someone like Sterling/Sane if they aren’t on form for example. He’s equally as good as them. 

Jorginho wouldn’t have that much competition at DM.
