Jorginho

Also mentioned on Skysports and a bunch of other news publications.

The reliable french journalist also reported that our interest is concrete and for a loan deal.

Not sure what to think about this. He is as slow as Xhaka

Claudius

Im just trying to imagine Jorginho and Xhaka together in a double pivot. He’s a supremely talented footballer but wow!

If we can't sign Partey then I wouldn't be averse to this. We need more bodies for CM, as things stand it's just Dani, Xhaka and Elneny.

If nothing else next time he can say 'Ah Zou' from a totally difference perspective.

---Partey--Jorginho--Aouar

Rotated with Ceballos and Xhaka. That wouldn't look out of place at Man City.

No, Zou!

I like Jorginho. I really do.

But he's not the right fit for our team.

We’d piss rival fans off with his penners

Gazza M

Rumor seems obscure and left field enough to be real

lorddulaarsenal

He possesses a top through ball

Not keen on him though

The fuck are Chelsea doing even

Proper FIFA career mode transfers

if we can't secure both our midfield targets I wouldn't say no to a loan.

That's what I'm thinking as well, but also why I'm disappointed in this rumour as it may mean we've given up on Partey.

Might be a backup depending on what happens with our outgoing deals. That's pretty much how Arteta phrased in when asked about it.

ohboy

Jorginho and Xhaka is a disaster waiting to happen.

No pace, no physicality, we will be ripe to pick off on the counter.

The one plus, is that Jorginho is good on the ball, and can make a forward pass.

Jorginho would be great with Partey, but not instead of.

Jorginho or elneny?

An injury to xhaka isn't unthinkable and we've seen time and time again this team isn't a top four team without him. Because we don't have anyone else with his skill set. Dani going off the boil isn't unthinkable either he seems to really want to be in Spain and he really struggled over winter last year. If they're thick enough to give us Jorginho on loan we should jump at the chance. Given how weak we are in that position its a no brainer.

Sicario

Why would they sell him to us though? Makes zero sense.

So they can get Rice. We are waste disposal for Chelsea. It started with alleged saboteur Gallas. And has gone onto include Benayoun, Cech and now this generation of pensioners.
