I do like this guy. Seems like the type of experienced figure we really need in the squad. I hope he can have a bigger influence on his teammates next season.
I believe you Jorginho, your body language says it all, seems like his spirit is infectious as have never the German in this mood Kia Havertz was as happy as a lark in the Arsenal Jersey.
But how can we forget Jorginho on the touch line during the Beaumont classic, instead of haggling to get on was up and down on the touch line barking instructions, very selfless by the born Brazilian.
A keep saying history will be kind to this fixture.
Great news if Jorginho stays. We need his experience.
