Not happening. Why the **** would we sign this scumbag who adds nothing that we need?
Slow unatletic DLPs. Me like!In addition he is too much like Xhaka, and slow.

Are we talking about Mr. X or Mr. J? If X then yes, he is not particularly athletic. If you with athletic mean mobile, quick, can turn easily, fast etc. Regards to J I couldn’t really say as cannot recall him from games...I'm not sure what the definition of unathletic here is. Xhaka is slow, but not sure how unathletic.
He has engine and some muscles too?

But, but, but he has a slow speeding rating on Fifa!
Are you saying he isn't slow because of those stats?
It just makes no sense to use any money on him. Would cost similar as Partey and we have needed his type for ages.
If we sold Xhaka, then I understand this more. But Jorginho is right-footed also.
AM's obsession with quick, powerhouse CMs is absurd.
Almost all of the topclass CMs are usually on the slower side.
Xavi, Iniesta, Cesc, Pirlo, Xabi, Santi, Zidane, Busquets, Scholes, Carrick, Gerrard, Arteta and many more.
Vieira is the exception not the rule.
So you would play Xhaka & Jorginho with a back line of four? Or what are you suggesting?
The problem with back line of 4 we have had for a long time is that none of our midfielders has been even remotely fast. We have been destroyed on counter attacks.
I'm not dismissing his qualities based on lack of pace, but just saying that we have Xhaka already for this position and we need money for Aouar and/or Partey, which would offer something we lack.
Another issue is not having a great ball carrier in the middle.
This guy will cost north of 50 million, I'd think even more because we are rivals to Chelsea.
Xhaka has contract until 2023 and has been good under Arteta.
Give me Pirlo, Alonso, Barry,Arteta, Kroos, Modric, Schweinsteiger, Pep, Deschamps, Redondo, Verratti, Xhaka and Jorginho over the likes of Partey, Wanyama, Flamini, Parker, Coquelin, Ndombele, Sissoko, Fred and Byakao any day.
That you need a quick CM powerhouse to defend against counters is an AM myth.
The most dominant Barca team had a snail midfield of Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets.
Man City for many years dominanted without a quick DM to cover.
Defending against counters is all about pressing as an unit, positioning and intelligent fouling early.
Xhaka only has been found out in recent seasons because we did not function as a team and the caps were huge all over the pitch.
he giving absolute nothing even discussing the player quality he worse than wenger.
My man a block of ice. Not even a cheeky smile like Wenger used to do.
