I suppose with Jorginho and Kante both being quite young for CMs he probably doesn't have a future at Chelsea, wouldn't shock me to see him sold next summer.Long term plan? I doubt there is one. Probably a loan.
He's happy, happy new year.Jorginho said: ‘I am absolutely ecstatic to be here at Chelsea. It is not easy to become part of such a big team so I am very, very happy. I am excited to play in such an intense league, for a team that gives everything to play and win.’
Two seasons of Pep and they think they have attained the status of Real Madrid that no player should feck them over.
Do you reckon not being in the CL will affect you in any way?Nah, no chance. He's the least likely player to kick up a stink I can imagine. Unless they offer ridiculous money (which clubs never do for non-flashy players) he's going nowhere.
Seems a pretty different type of player but then again, I don't know much about Jorginho.
You're not wrong but it's akin to us replacing Keane with Carrick – obviously not in terms of quality because mentioning Fernandinho in the same breath as Keane would be absurd but they were two entirely different players tasked with covering a similar area of the pitch.My understanding was that Jorginho was a Carrick type of midfielder, not a spoiler like Fernandinho.
Courtois and Hazard might use it as an excuse to push a move to Real Madrid but other than that, not really (in the short term).Do you reckon not being in the CL will affect you in any way?
Sure, I appreciate you don't have to replace like with like but for this particular Man City side, I think they need a "water carrier" otherwise the likes of De Bruyne would have to change their game to compensate.You're not wrong but it's akin to us replacing Keane with Carrick – obviously not in terms of quality because mentioning Fernandinho in the same breath as Keane would be absurd but they were two entirely different players tasked with covering a similar area of the pitch.
Kante is a guy who not long ago was in the lower leagues in France and then Leicester. Potentially one season out of the CL surely won't bother him that much. Not like he's lacking in silverware or a 30+ year old searching for one last big move.Do you reckon not being in the CL will affect you in any way?
They'll most likely just buy Higuain because im sure Sarri knows that Morata just isnt good enough rather then needing to be fired up or whatever.Sounds like Chelsea are making some good moves with Sarri and now Jorginho. Seriously potent midfield with him and Kante. And there was me considering them done and dusted a couple of months ago. Be interesting to see if Sarri can fire up Morata.
I read earlier that they are trying to include Morata in a deal for Higuain.Sounds like Chelsea are making some good moves with Sarri and now Jorginho. Seriously potent midfield with him and Kante.

Hazard higuain WillianHas the makings of a very good side tbf. Probably Fabregas in mid I would guese? Their defence isnt really suited to a back 4 though and I can see them taking a while to get used to Sarri. Jorginho and Kante in midfield is potentially a world class partnership, just need a 10 in front of them.
Jorginho Kante ???
Defence+Gk
Well, I hope they don’t succeed, as getting Higuain would suddenly make them look really dangerous. Fabregas as the advanced midfielder, I guess.I read earlier that they are trying to include Morata in a deal for Higuain.
HAHAHAHAHAHA! I love how salty City get when they don’t get their targets and how transparent the faux outrage is from their favoured journalists (who are totally independent and not at all influenced by lavish treatment they receive at the Etihad).Tweet

Interesting what stats you decided to post and what you chose to ignore...Very underwhelming stats 62 tackles won, 49 chances created. Not impressive

There is nothing interesting I deliberately chose his weakest stats (I didn't even post the 50 interceptions)Interesting what stats you decided to post and what you chose to ignore...

Some United fans are also confused. They were complaining how we got City's second choice in Fred and it was a sign of us falling behind. It was further proof that style is everything holy in football and anyone who cares about football would choose City of United.Funny how when we said we were signing Fred all of a sudden city fans said it was because they were going for Jorginho who was the better player.
Now Jorginho has gone to Chelsea what’s their excuse going to be this time.
2 snubs in such a short time has got to hurt Pep.
How so? This chap as the deep lying playmaker and Kante all over the place to win the ball back seems a good combo to me.Bizarre signing if Kantes staying.
So many people seem to think Kante is a 6 when he clearly isnt. He wins the ball back quickly and prevents it from reaching the danger area. A 6 is the one in the danger area and has to cover defenders either by going 2v1 vs an attacker or filling the space they leave. A 6 sometimes also has the responsibility of building the play like Jorginho.How so? This chap as the deep lying playmaker and Kante all over the place to win the ball back seems a good combo to me.
Its such a strange way to spin things.HAHAHAHAHAHA! I love how salty City get when they don’t get their targets and how transparent the faux outrage is from their favoured journalists (who are totally independent and not at all influenced by lavish treatment they receive at the Etihad).
He didn't sign and pictured wearing City shirt. More like Robinho'dCity have been Obi Mikel'd
I'm not sure that answers my question. You don't think they'd compliment each other?So many people seem to think Kante is a 6 when he clearly isnt.

They would actually be great for each other. Kante does not have it in him to remain in the red zone in front of the centre backs. He has to be active and chase the ball. Kante has always been at his best next to a 6. He was with Drinkwater, then Matic and now will be with Jorginho.I'm not sure that answers my question. You don't think they'd compliment each other?
Boohoo for them. Even better when he plays a blinder against them and scores against them.Tweet

1 tackle every 43 minutes. 1 interception every 53 minutes. Fair to say Kante will be doing that part, and that Jorginho might've been found lacking as DM in a trio with KDB and Silva. Happy either way. Let's hope Fernandinho is a wreck after the World Cup, could be their Achilles heel in the PL this season. They'd have to rely on Delph since Gundogan can't play as lone defensive midfielder.There is nothing interesting I deliberately chose his weakest stats (I didn't even post the 50 interceptions)
Just like Fred with us, underwhelming player IMHO
Maybe, just maybe he chose the coach that gave him his big break over Pep?Pathetic. He chose location over Pep.
