It's always so hilarious that once a player makes a choice the opposite fans *cough bluemoon* think that player is sh*t all of the sudden and wasn't worth it. (If he actually signs :P)

[Special Juan 27,512]

They will see exactly what they are missing when he starts playing for us, this lad is a superb footballer.

I remember the impact Fabregas had on our team when we first signed him, here's hoping for the same this time around.

A midfielder with Cesc's playmaking abilities but who can actually run. What we've been desperately in need of for a while.

These players are rare, there's a reason we hijacked the deal and didn't just go for someone else, he will help a great deal with implementing a new system.

Credit to the board, we could have tried to save money and gone for someone else but boom, we made a statement!!!

Mourinho is now under big pressure in my opinion, the only "top 6" team in the league that are going to sit back on a 1 goal lead against Wolves. 

So funny with all the crap we get from City fans now, funny they don't remember the path they took to get where they are *cough* Robinho

Are we actually outspending City for a player ?

Jorginho wants to join Chelsea over Manchester City because his preference is to live in London, according to Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis.

Possibly but another version is that City don't rate him highly enough to match our offer.

[Special Juan 27,512]

The fact City wanted him tells you everything, really not our fault they didn't match the valuation of him...something we are renowned for doing.

I think its somewhere between the two, City rate him and would have paid, but ADL still would have accepted Chelseas offer to get the Sarri deal done. Short of Jorginho absolutely refusing to come here we had ADL in our corner (which is odd) Jorginho sees London + Sarri + $$$ + guaranteed starter, easy decision.

For me, it's more like they really like/want Jorginho but aren't desperate for him since their squad is already so great. He would've been a luxury signing for them like Mahrez is. Just like Fred was going to be before United pinched him.

I do not think he is more creative than Cesc.....But yeah he is a great signing....Playmaker who can cover ground
