Blame conte for sending that sms Chelsea was so good in his first season due to costa, then when costa xde, you know what happened la
That's why lah! Any suggestion a striker near as good as Costa if not better? Please don't suggest Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar or Mbappe. Roman will not going to spend big money anymore!
Chelsea news: Jorginho slammed by pundit on live TV - he has got NO qualities
CHELSEA star Jorginho has not got any qualities needed to be a top defensive midfielder, claims ESPN FC pundit Stewart Robson.
QUOTE
Jorginho joined Chelsea in the summer from Napoli for a fee of around £57million.
He followed manager Maurizio Sarri to Stamford Bridge and was the Italian’s first signing after replacing Antonio Conte.
Jorginho scored from the penalty spot on his Premier League debut last Saturday, helping the Blues beat Huddersfield 3-0.
However, Robson, who often co-commentates on Serie A matches, says he has not seen anything from Jorginho’s time at Napoli to suggest he is good enough for Chelsea.
“I’m not a fan of Jorginho,” former Arsenal midfielder Robson said.
“I’ve seen him play for Napoli. Napoli were a good side and I looked at their team and when I’m picking out players, Jorginho would have been the eighth or ninth player I’d have picked out of their team as the most important player.
“I can’t see what Sarri sees in him quite as much.
“He’s not athletic, if you saw him play in the Community Shield he had an absolute shocker in that game, he was better against Huddersfield.
“But against the very best teams, I think people can run off of him.
“He’s not going to be a creative passer, he’s a passer who just passes it square and sideways, he just keeps things moving.
“I don’t think he’s a good defensive player, I don’t think he’s a good player in that holding midfield role.
“I know Sarri relied on him at Napoli, but again, I didn’t think he was one of their best players.
“As a holding-midfield player, you need to have athleticism to cover your full-back, you need to be a good reader of the game, get in-between your centre-halves when the ball’s in wide areas, you need to be able to close the ball down and win it back.
“You need to be able to be, I would say, still a creative passer.
“Jorginho I don’t think has got any of those qualities.”
Jorginho and Chelsea are back in action this Saturday when Arsenal take the short trip across London.
Arsenal lost their first game of the season 2-0 to reigning champions Manchester City.
Yeah rite. That's coming from an Ex Gunner midfielder pundit....

who? every heard before lukcy he is just pundit, not coach
haha ESPN FC pundits probably the worst panel of pundits. they just sit around and joke about having fun off screen and always end up backtracking on their opinions.
this is Jorginho asking Kante to push up, 2-3 moves before delivering the ball to him for a chance to score. of course, this is during pre-season but this show intelligence instead of "sideway' and 'passing it square'.

Got to agree on the defensive aspect of jorginho. That guy can't defend. Going forward another story. Would love to see how fabregas fare in his position.
I think Fab and jorginho share the same quality but fabregas a Lil bit better at defense. Let see how jorginho play against a more quality players tonight.
Maurizio Sarri says Mateo Kovacic is set to play a part against Arsenal tomorrow evening.
QUOTE
The Blues host the Gunners in the Premier League’s late kick-off - and Real Madrid loanee Kovacic could feature at Stamford Bridge.
"I think Mateo will be very useful for us. He's a very technical player," Sarri said.
"In this moment, he has to work. I think he's not ready now for 90 minutes, but maybe, tomorrow, for the first 30 or the last 30 minutes he could be used.
"I expect a lot from him because, for me, he's a very great player. In my opinion, he can improve more.
"I think he can play in any of the three positions in midfield. He's a very good offensive player, but he has improved in the defensive phase in the last two years in Madrid."
I don't really know nor watch this dude playing at Real Madrid. Any insight?
REVEALED: Sarri blocked Chelsea's move for Lyon attacker Fekir
Maurizio Sarri blocked Chelsea's move for Lyon attacker Nabil Fekir this month, it has been claimed. says Chelsea had the opportunity to bring him to Stamford Bridge, but it was Sarri who decided against it.
QUOTE
The snub will undoubtedly come as a disappointment to Fekir, as it is the second Premier League club that opted against bringing him on board.
Fekir was on the verge of signing for Liverpool, before the Reds pulled out of the deal when their medical team discovered a niggle with his knee.
And as he looked poised to sign for Sarri's side, the Italian opted against signing the forward despite wanting to bolster his attack.
Lyon met with the Chelsea hierarchy to discuss a move for the 25-year-old French international, but when it became clear they were holding onto several of their important attacking players they ceased negotiations.
I think the club was concentrating on Hazard and Willian particularly Hazard. If Hazard stays then no Fekir.

Should've go on with the deal.
Willian is shit. Fekir can slot right in to the rw position. Pedro too inconsistent to be our starting xi.

actually i think Jorginho defensive is better than Fabregas. but both not very good defensively still lol. but Jorginho can provide better cover than Fabregas in the DM role, so Kante can go forward more often.
