✍️ OFFICIAL Jorginho

[Bloodbather]

Not really what we needed defensively, but better than not signing anyone. Should keep us solid in the build up if one of Partey or Xhaka goes down.

 

[Farzad Stoned]

I have made my peace with this signing. I still think questions need to be asked about Arsenal failing to get big deals over the line though.

Do you want deals that burden the club long term and are giant gambles on wild valuations? I don’t want to feel ripped for 90 million by Bloom. We need a backup this is better deal. The price is not worth it we helped our self by not buying and Chelsea hurt themselves with those deals they didn’t help themselves long term

 

[Alexs]

Didn’t want Gallas, didn’t want Luiz, didn’t want Willian. Do want this guy.

Possible to change my username?

No that's not my issue. I agree that Arsenal shouldn't pay ridiculous fees like Chelsea do. My issue is that we often leave it very late in the window or we try to get players like Vlahovic or Raphinia that actually want to join another club.

Is Gunner D available? Nice and simple.

If not, I’ll take up your suggestion lol

It's ok but we should have gone much earlier for a Caicedo/Rice or any decent loan for a DM/CM. Now we pay 12m for a player who's 31 with a 6 month contract and will take a place in the squad for the next 18 months.

He will take the place of Elneny you can say. Than I guess we will go for one of Caicedo/Rice. (Some say both, how?). And you still have the "problem" to keep five players happy with Partey, Rice/Caicedo, Xhaka, Jorghino and Lokonga + you pay much higher salary to your bench options. Lokonga would need to go anyway on loan/sell.

This is how Jorginho kisses his wife:

Arteta's literally building a betasquad.

Fair enough

 

[14Henry]

He won't be taking penalties for us. That's Sakas role and if he isn't playing Eddie or Gabi can hit them.

 

[Rex Stone]

These two are pissing me off.

How is this a medical issue Raj?

 

[ArsenesCoatMaker]

Remember when everyone was hyping Cech as a great mentality, that he'd save us points. That he was everything Arsenal needed?

I wonder what happened in our first game of that season.

I remember John Terry promised us Cech would get us 10 extra points. I believed him and felt so missled

 

[WiscoGooner8]

Yes with the fee and length of contract the deal for him isn’t that bad. He can do what our current CM do in possession. My issue is more that we are helping Chelsea clear their deadwood when we find it impossible to do so ourselves.

 

[Tnegs]

Why are so many people against this signing then? He’s a class player who is still a starter for them and he should be ready to make an immediate impact. 12m fee for 18 months might seem expensive but given the amount of money being spent by the big clubs and the overall inflation in player prices it’s really nothing for a title chasing club.

 

[Goonger]

To be fair, he probably did at first, just the likes of Mustafi decided to gift them away again.

How is he dead wood when he’s played 18 of their 20 PL games & could leave on a free in the summer? He wasn’t sitting on the bench or in the stands with a 3 year deal and we got them out of jail.

 

[Beany]

Dr Brar counting the number of people who give a **** about his posts on one hand…

Dude also seems to be taking style tips from @GDeep™

This is the same as Giroud to Chelsea. We were all happy till he actually was quite useful to Chelsea.
Not saying Jorginho is the answer to our long term DM/CM problem, but you need someone who can add something these 4 months. Jorginho will bring experience and does need little adaptation.

If we can rest Partey for the home games against Bournemouth, Leeds, Crystal Palace, ... it means it was a succesful signing.
