Jorginho

[robsblubot 3,252]

Jorginho is one of these odd players who managed the feat of being both overrated and underrated at the same time.

For me, he's a good player with very specific characteristics, which means he'll excel in specific systems and struggle (mediocre) in others. unfortunately, I think he will thrive under Arteta's, which makes Arsenal a disappointing destination in my book.

All in all, I think he had his moments for us, so thank you and (some) good luck! 😉

not good enough for challenge for the league

so goodbye

[Blues11 213]

take the 12mil and run. Such a liability these days.  

[Vegetable 790]

So that's a goodbye I guess. A lot of people bashed him all the way, but I will remember him fondly - good character, he never seemed to be suited for the league, yet did a lot of good work here, so, like, thanks, J5 and good luck

ngl i’m gutted he joined Arsenal, but this one doesn’t sting like the Cech transfer. i thank him for all his service for us, was an integral part of our recent european success, did his job and was a top professional, but it’s time to say goodbye, from now on we are rivals. Cheers

Decent, will go down as a decent servant for the club, now if he manages to pull slips like the one against Arsenal last season and make Arsenal lose the title he will be upgraded to legend status.

[Gundalf 728]

Im sure he will look good with Partey protecting him.

People have gone very quite on him lately. What happened to "what a fantastic signing by Arteta and Arsenal!"? Only 105 minutes in 8 Premier League games, since the 1st of March.

Arteta is not tinkering with the team that had them leading the table, for better or worse. He has not started since Partley got back from injury. That was he was brought in for.

That and perhaps he's not as good as he used to be. While 31yo is a good age for a footballer these days, the loss of pace that takes place at around 30yo may affect players very differently; sometimes it's not as pronounced, or other times the player did not rely on it so much anyway.
Jorginho tho, he's not a particularly powerful player, esp for that position, so he does rely on pace and quickness, which may not be the same anymore. He may still be a good player, but perhaps he's just past his best? it happens to everyone.

He never had any pace though

Yeah maybe raw pace, no. I think his quickness + good technique on the ball was all he got. While he was never Kante for running and covering, he's always been pretty mobile for that role and could find a pass under pressure, which demands quickness.

Bigger mistake selling than sacking Tuchel imo. 29 points we had this season came from the 15th starts he had. Would have liked to see Enzo playing alongside him. 

Very good performance against Newcastle today, MOTM.

You don't know what you have until you lose it. Alonso also.

Jorginho leaving was a disaster class from both Potter and the board.

You can blame the board, but if the manager doesn't want to keep him, then the player will go. Any manager would know who the integral components are in a dressing room.

Lost Jorginho, and kept Ziyech by preventing his move. 

Just glad that we have Enzo. Easily a step up.

Jorginho  was becoming bit of a busted flush - won everything with us, and not giving 100% imo. Still a Chels legend though, and as you say we have the Enzo upgrade. What we do miss is his ability to command and those tactical yellow cards 

[Mário César 819]

jorginho is playing in a better, better team. this fact makes all the difference 

[Magic Lamps 11,459]

Only saw it now but  Kais debut to forget was not the only reason to smile at arses parlous 1-1 to nürnberg. 
 

joeginho scored a beauty of an own goal from 30 yards
