Yesterday, the inference was given in the media that Chelsea could be set to lose one of the midfielders in their current squad.
According to The Sun, Juventus, managed by our former boss Maurizio Sarri, have set their sights on signing our Italian international midfielder Jorginho.
Now yesterday morning I’d have applauded such a deal.
Since the resumption of the COVID-19 affected season, the 28-year-old hasn’t had a look in when it comes to being awarded a place in the starting XI.
However, I went to bed last night, after Chelsea’s nerve-wracking 3-2 win having totally changed my mind.
Despite leading 3-2 against Crystal Palace, our midfield was being overrun with it looking to be only a matter of time before the home side equalised.
But the introduction of Jorginho, as a substitute, totally changed the complexion of the game.
Jorginho controlled the game, always being available to be given the ball and distributing it with ease, something the Chelsea midfield hadn’t done since going 3-1 up.
Now I don’t know why Jorginho has been held back and not given match-time, although I suspect it might be because there is a transfer being discussed and an injury would scupper it, but oN the evidence of what we saw yesterday should Frank Lampard be considering changing his mind?
Please feel free to air your views on the Jorginho situation in the comment facility beneath this article.
