He probably isn't going to be pushing for a starting place but Arsenal's bid for the title is pretty much based on how they manage Partey and his fitness. Does that mean Arteta has to sub Partey off once the games are won and bring on Jorginho - maybe?

[doncorleole]

They better be quick before Boehly makes a 200 million bid

[rodm]

All I can say is "Trust the process"

[lobsang]

To those who are not convinced, I am saying as a Chelsea fan that Jorginho is a quality player who, if used correctly in a system, can really shine. He can add control to the midfield and reads the game brilliantly.

[AntanasOb]

Jorginho reminds me of Arteta as a player

[essj]

Jorginho is a excellent addition he is a winner, he has lots of experience and he will help fill in the gap till the end of the season. Trust in Arteta he knows what he's doing he'll bring the league title home.

[z-forcebg]

If he joins arsenal, that means that I get another legendary player in Dream league soccer

[KingWelshy]

Not the biggest fan of this but Xhaka and Partey need less minutes and Jorg would be useful in Europa as well.

[OGfilmsUK]

Caicedo walk of shame into training should be interesting. Unless Chelsea throw him a pity purchase.

[ljunyreona]

I don't mind for Partey cover up but not longer than 2year at very max.

[DJZedi]

A lot of people thought Casemiro was finished. He’s currently Utd’s best player along with Rashford.

Jorginho will give us good options which could prove vital.

[ramongolding]

Ok so im not a fan of the signing but party and him have very similar stats this season. My worry is that he will not be as defensively sound as party, which leave xhaka to have to maybe do more defensively which we all know is a formula for mistakes leading to goals

[Gavi-]

Some arsenal fans unhappy but jorginho is a solid back up player to partey. Then in the summer we go for a top midfielder

[cinematicmoment]

I cant find chelsea on the table. Where are they?

[gaborkovacs]

We just simply can’t land any targets. If u think about it all the players we signed is an alternative to someone else we wanted more. It’s lucky it has worked out so far. But it’s concerning we can’t get anyone we actually want! That’s why I’m certain we won’t sing rice neither. Someone will offer a bag of potato mare than we will and “we are not going to go to a bidding war” mentality will kick in and let him go...

[NOURINHO-rvfk]

Well Chelsea used to steal our players. Now don’t get mad. Guys is just a business.

[revilo]

It's not ideal but it's nowhere near as bad a signing as some are making out. He's an Elneny replacement because of his injury

[jayboogie]

Here we go again another Chelsea player that has past his peak. Welcome to Arsenal

[chikaokeke]

Thing most people don't realize is that, Arteta wants to win the Europa league more than anything. While challenging for the EPL title. Players like Trossard and Jorginho will help us in our quest without much drop off in quality

[sirpipealot]

I think it’s good business for Arsenal. Premier league ready, won’t stunt the growth of our your prospects, and he is a European winner. He’s not a quick fix, it’s an alternative. Lakonga needs more games and needs a nasty streak to him like Onana ( of Everton ). Elneny is a good back up but Geo would be better.
