Carragher calls Jorginho 'opposite' of Arsenal's 'quick, fast and energetic' style of football
Jamie Carragher has raised an issue about Arsenal's latest signing Jorginho. The midfielder joined Arsenal on deadline day from London rivals Chelsea.
"Arsenal have gone for Caicedo, but maybe they cannot get that done from Brighton, so they have gone for Jorginho, who is an interesting one," Carragher told Sky Sports.
"I can totally understand it, but I was listening to people talk about it today, and he is not the sort of style for Arsenal’s play, which is so quick, fast and energetic now and he is the opposite of that and I get that argument.
"But I also think that with maybe 10 games to go in the season, when they might actually need cool heads, when there is a pressure moment and the nerves are coming on in that title run, he may actually be a really good signing in terms of slowing things down with a cool head.
"He is a player that has won the Champions League, he has won a European Championship in the last few years, so he is a top player, there is no doubt about that, but he is a different style of player.
"But I am not saying that is for Arsenal week in, week out forever, but I think that could be a big help for them towards the end of the season when they get nervous."
