Chelsea Transfers

[DDA 9,924]

I guess if you're looking at the financial of the move... it's a plus... I just hate any of our players joining those fuckers even if all the Arsenal lads at work are pissed off by it.

I see it the same way. Financially sound to get rid of a players with little left to offer a few months early with a nice sum on top is smart busines. 
Some ppl act like he is gonna fire Arsenal to the PL title on his own. I mean come on. They worked that 8 pt gap without him. If they are gonna somehow stage an epic collapse how is Jorginho gonna prevent it? We lost so many leads with him on the pitch, its comical. If they are gonna give that title up it will be bc of losing the big games, esp the  city games. What good will Jorginho do them there chasing after the ball in his trademark slow motion?

the only thing I will miss is his pen conversion rate. Watch us suddenly miss those

I am ruthless when it comes to selling players I am not invested in emotionally or rationally

if people want to objurgate the club about the sale, blame the old regime's shit contractual management, which has fucking just decimated us over the years and may well light us on fire with Mount

Yep, it's no doubt already good deal even if we don't get a replacement in. 

And if Enzo comes it will be a brilliant piece of business to sell Jorginho. Enzo would probably play as many games as possible and Jorginho would be reduced to a backup and I'd say £15M is a hell of a lot money for a backup midfielder who'd start at most around 5 games and maybe a further 10-15 sub appearances between now and the end of the season before leaving on a free.

we can always buy (if we pass on my preferred overall options) my favourite homegrown CF target

the auto pen machine

Dunno if right, but I see Enzo as a clear long-term replacement for Kante, not Jorginho, not in terms of quality, but in characteristics esp.

Some Arsenal fans are outraged with Jorginho joining – and #EduOut is trending

Has a skillset that can do it all, but I think to really get the best out of him, needs to be partnered with a traditional defensive midfielder.

Enzo is a dramatically different style of player than Kante

vastly more creative, vastly better offensively

he is not a berserker wrecking ball like Kante, unfortunately (so few have been in football the last 30 years)

BUT

Enzo can quite possibly be a Modric/Pirlo style/level deep lying playmaker/DMF but who also can carry the ball forward and score a goal at times, far more than Kante or Kova or Jorgi

he, from all I have seen, has superb spatial game flow awareness, a pre-conception for moves to come

and he has a deffo hard Argie edge about him

like, oh, I don't know...

perhaps the bloke Rashford stole his goal celebration move from

the one we fucking turned down for 40-45m euros or so in 2021 (when I was climbing walls screaming to BUY) because our ratchet ass scouts and the board said he was not ready, not good enough then

Interesting. I have to confess I haven't seen that much skill on the ball so far, nor the passing quality needed for a possession game, but I haven't seen enough of him.
If that's the case, then he'd be an even better signing than I anticipated. 🤤
