Surely we cant let Jorginho go if we dont sign a midfielder? We are already toothpick thin in midfield..

This is the thing that’s preventing me from worrying too much for the time being. Surely the club wouldn’t sanction Jorginho’s move (to a hated rival!) without getting their primary replacement in.

If not... a classic "Saul loan" arrives last minute

[Special Juan 27,393]

Arsenal fans fuming and rightly so, he will do a job but he isn't an upgrade on what they have.

We have numbers. Zakaria, Kovacic, Gallagher, Kante, Mount, Santos, RLC. And Enzo ofc.

I'm sure plenty of us, especially the ones based in London, have a shit load of friends that are Arsenal friends too - that is partly why this is so fucking hilarious for me and I hope it happens, got so many people dropping me messages panicking and crying, just sheer disbelief and horror like I have not seen from them in years lmfao

Don't think they need upgrade. Thomas and Xhaka working wonderful. But they don't have squad depth at all. Plus they are in Europa League. Jorginho will be good addition.

Matt Law confirming this now.

Also, this is linked to Andrey Santos and making a gap for him and getting the work permit sorted.

[Special Juan 27,393]

Ornsteing saying Jorginho to Arsenal all agreed 12M to summer 2024 at Arsenal training ground now

[Costa19 858]

Anyone outside Cobham? I very much need that photo of a car with tinted windows arriving. 

[Special Juan 27,393]

Here we go from Romano Jorginho is done.

Benfica have lined up their replacement for Enzo, the pieces are starting to fall Jacob Steinberg has broke this

[Artandur 939]

1.5 year contract lol. Why not wait a few months, choose your italian club, get a nice signing bonus and a longer contract. I guess he wants that pl medal this year.

Maybe he likes life in London 🤷

Aren't they already negotiating with that young midfielder from Boca, think his name are Varela? 

Alan Varela

I posted on him above.

[Costa19 858]

Ornstein with the dagger!! 

This MUST mean Enzo is done??

[Pizy 18,344]

Jorginho will do exactly what they need him to do for the remainder of the season. An extra body in midfield that they can rotate in and provide a calm, tidy passer. He’s not going to be some disaster that all the idiot Gooner’s are crying about.

Good luck to him. One of my favorite Chelsea players during this last few years until he started actively harming our team with his lack of mobility.

That Lukaku deal 🤦‍♂️

Both of them! Lol

And with inflation, Pogba cost more in today's pound sterling than Enzo will.

But totally understandable though, they have gone from Caicedo to Jorginho😅

Would say Arsenals system will suit him because they are further along than we are in terms of the style and tactical set up. Plus Zinchenko and Ben White playing as inverted fullbacks will give him greater protection and options in there. Doubtful he will play every game but he will give them enough.

Just have to hope Kovacic can stay fit now because he and Enzo are really the only sort of MFers we have capable of controlling a game.

Still surprised they didn’t go for an alternative for Caicedo, they need a more defensive minded player to rotate/swap out with Partey I feel now hes injured.
