The Bonk Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 36 minutes ago, Rich said: “The Chelsea midfielder’s stats for the Euros as a whole are also insane. He was a mainstay for his side, playing in all seven of their matches (alongside only Leonardo Bonucci, Gianluigi Donnarumma and Chiesa) and topped their charts for both passes - 519 attempted, 93% success rate - and also defending - 48 balls recovered and 25 interceptions. The average distance Jorginho covered per game in the Euros was second only to Spain’s Pedri, at 12.35km, as was the total distance covered in possession, 33.12km.” “Jorginho made nearly 13 passes under pressure per 90 last season, which ranks in the top 2% of defensive midfielders in the world of football.” He’s a world-class DM, whichever way you slice it. Though you would imagine he’s on the way down now and I dread to think what he’s on salary-wise. Didn't think he was a Howe type player going off of what I knew of him. Going off the evidence above, he's exactly the type of player Howe would want. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 12 minutes ago, Manxst said: They can afford to spend that cash and wages. If Casemiro was a dud or declines rapidly, no doubt they’ll go and spend another £60m on a Fred again. We can’t do the same right now- we have to get the right signings for the money and wages. I just don’t think Jorginho is it, and don’t think media reports are correct. Might be wrong, but just can’t see him fitting here. Who knows though- guess we’ll see. Well I would never have pointed to Jorginho as a potential target either, but if Howe and our scouts think he can take us to another level, and the club have no problem with funding a move, I wouldn't argue. Dan Burn looked a weird move a year ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 I’d love Jorginho is a stop gap, veteran, winning mentality, title/trophy experienced DCM who by all accounts is a fantastic leader and pro. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Nowt worse than enjoying a match only for Jorginho to come on and turn it into a borefest. As a neutral I really don't like him, bit he's an effective player to bring on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s still a huge amount of money and will in a way be off putting to the so called top teams given that we don’t need to sell and will negotiate hard. I only ever see the lad leaving for a Real Madrid if I’m being honest. In the Premier League it’s only really that Man City can guarantee success and the rest we can match going forward very quickly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowlingcrofty Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 I reckon we were probably going to go for a forward player in this window, but the form of Miggy and Isak/ASM coming back to fitness soon probably means that we’ll nudge that to the summer and go for a “number 6” instead, and nudge Bruno further up the pitch.

Ikon Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 (edited) I’m convinced that we are signing Franca from Flamengo. And a CM of some sort. Hopefully a wide player too, but I’m not sure who, as I think they would like a genuine upgrade for this (one that is fit more often than not) Edited December 28, 2022 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 I don't see us selling Bruno. We keep him, we can get CL football this year. Without him we might not. How much is that with? Not just in cash, but to the project and future recruitment. Plus we'll sort FFP easy enough by just doing more sponsorship deals. It'll just take a little time. We might sell Bruno in 3-4 years for stupid money once we've got a great club, if he wanted out, but not now and not for another year or two at least because he's worth far more to us.
