Jorginho's agent mentioned Inter, juve, and Milan are all interested in him but the transfer would be 50 million euros.

Why would we need a Poor-Man Brozovic for that big amount of money

50m for 29 year old Jorginho. :lol:

I know Marina always overvalues Chelsea players but this time she has overdone it.

It's smart business. I'd rather sell Brozo and take Kova.

Brozovic or Eriksen for Jorginho, okay. Marina can pick the valuation.

Inter are keeping a close eye on the progress of Sampdoria midfielder Mikkel Damsgaard, a report in the Italian media revealed today.

FcInterNews.it said the Nerazzurri’s scouts were at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Sunday to watch the 20-year-old in Samp’s match at home to Napoli, which ended in a 2-0 defeat.

Inter and Juventus are both keen on Damsgaard in Serie A, but the Denmark international also has interest from Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City in the Premier League.

The Nerazzurri have not begun any talks with Sampdoria yet, but Damsgaard is thought to be valued at €18 million.

Sampdoria are in no hurry to sell their promising young midfielder, for whom they paid €6.5 million in a deal with Nordsjaelland last summer.

The Blucerchiati intend to keep Damsgaard for another season in the hope his value can rise still further

Honestly I've never seen anything special about jorginho since his time in napoli. The only thing I see from him are 5-10m passes that my 6year old nephew can make, that's all. No vision, no defence, no grinta, no dynamism, no goals, no assists. I've never known why he was so hyped in the first place. As a coach, if you give me jorginho I wouldn't know how to use him coz he lacks a complete skill set to be categorised as a certain type of midfielder. Dmf,CMF,dlp,AMf,SS?

And yet he keeps playing for Chelsea despite different managers and he keeps playing for Mancini. Thing is Jorginho is a excellent regista with his movement and positioning, he's always available and he can control the tempo of the game very well.

Damsgaard could be a good investment, but he would be loaned first probably.

And that's what you see. What is see is different. What kind of regista is that? His long passes are nothing special, just average and he makes no visionary passes, these 2 attributes are very crucial for any regista playing at a top club. The only good thing about him is his quick passes and ability to avoid opponents tight marking. Like I said, he lacks a complete skill set to be given a role, so not a regista to me.

Just like Kovacic! They both overrated as fuck.

There are some football agents in football industry who can promote a rotten tomato as a delicios dessert. That's the reason why I admire them. In this fucked up industry it doesn't matter how talented you are. The matter is who's your agent.

Atleast kovacic's case is even better, he has good vision and can make killer passes. He also has some decent level of grinta and speed dribbling. Just that he doesn't make outputs, numbers, stats. But jorginho's worse.

What are you talking about?

Agents don't pick the players who play, coaches do.

Yesterday, most tackles in Chelsea (8) and most completed passes (56 / 60). The role which he plays, is not tasked to score goals or assists. It's to control the game, decide when to go forward, when to cycle sidewards or backwards. The playing time this guy has got throughout the years is a proof coaches simply appreciate what the player does on the pitch, what he brings to the table. Even Guardiola wanted this player.

"Statistics are like mini-skirts, shows a lot of things but does not show what is essentially"

Sir Alex Ferguson

I do not completely deny the importance of statistics but some are really unnecessary. Almost every DM/CM has high rated completed pass stat without taking a risk. Receive the ball from your team mate who's 3 meters away send the ball to your another team mate who's 5 meters away then repeat ! It makes 2 completed passes in 10 seconds. What a great job ! Tell me about creativity ,courage ,intelligence what Kovacic doesn't have.

There's also another stupid stat named ball possession. Let me give you a simple example. Remember the semi final game against Barcelona in CL 2010. They got the fuckin ball am I right ? They can stick that ball into their asses forever. We got the final we got the championship. So ,who gives a damn if your ball possesion is %90 or something like that while your team lack of creativity.

I still don't agree with you about football agents. In my opinion they're the kingpins of modern football, and the coaches are only their servants. Can we deny that JM is a great coach ? Hell no ! but what about his eternal love story with Jorge Mendes ?

The kingpins don't only represent top class ballers like Mbappe ,Haaland ,Lukaku ,Messi etc. They also represent mediocre fucktards ,and the biggest gain comes from them. More mediocre means more transfer movements. The industry doesn't want long-term winners/success/stability. Don't you remember why Michael Jordan's father was killed ?

To put in a nutshell ,I'm just an ordinary football fan. I'm always on the club side. I never totally trust any agent or coach who's as greedy as a pig.
