Fernandinho to leave at the end of the season

Not only an absolutely superb footballer, an absolute model professional. Never involved in controversy, never spouting off in the media, just always there and ready to do whatever the manager asks of him... including playing centre half without so much as a grumble.

Total respect for the bloke.
Real pro's pro , will leave with only good thoughts in my mind even when he got involved in the odd by line scuffle it was City first he had in mind.

Not only respected but feared by opposition alike a combination you don't get too much anymore.

Fans should give him a rousing send off like no other when the time comes and it coming soon.

Simply love his time at the club and only wish we had one preferably two like him to replace him with he is that good.
 
Great post
here , here and the coffee analogy is spot on , when you think of how he has repaid the club in performance on the field , no doubt in the dressing room and off the field a single cup of coffee seems very expensive by comparison.

Horses for courses as they say but IMO up with the most important players we have singed since the new owners grasped the helm and glad for him he has enjoyed much of the silverware that has gone with it.

be a great send off for him if we could give him some time in a final in Paris we have in the bag , having won another league trophy and an FA Cup Final that he plays a full 90 minutes in to round off a brilliant career given how old he was when he came to the club.

Doubt it will happen again for many a year.
 
This excerpt from a piece by Barry Glendenning in yesterday's Guardian made me chuckle, such will be Dino's legacy. An absolute diamond of a player. "..when Van Dijk clipped De Bruyne to bring him down with a technical foul that could not have been more ‘Fernandinho’ if it had a shaved head, was sporting a big 25 on its back and was dancing the samba through Londrina’s main drag."
 
Perfect player to manage. An absolute model professional. A player that you don't miss till they're gone. Cheers fern.
 
Magnificent player and man, but the time is right to go in terms of playing.

Sad that it looks like he won't be joining the backroom staff at this stage, he seems the perfect choice for management, a true leader and a wonderful intelligent footballer.

The guy from day one has been exemplary on and off the field.

Obrigado Fernando Luiz Roza.
 
Back in the day I didn't know Fernandinho from Fernando. Nowadays he's integral to our club. I wish he'd stay, I mean what is there in Brazil beside lovely weather, beaches, and women.

Really hope he stays, even if he becomes a mascot.
 
Probably my favourite player of all time. I remember when pep joined and i watched dinho as a sole dm i didn't think it was possible! He's played every position on the pitch during his career and is still so underrated. Absaloute boss and will always be one!
 
Still hoping he'll stay as a backroom staff, but I wish him the best wherever he ends up.
 
Dont know whether this has been discussed already, but surely hes the best and most successful Brazilian ever to grace the Premiership and by some distance.

David Luis, (even tho hes rubbish), Firminho, Gilberto Silva (Arsenal a while back), Gabby Jesus, Alison, Ederson, Berti Glauber probably will get a vote or two...maybe Mirandinha from the deluded barcode fans...

But I dont think theres anyone else who gets close to Dinho (or have I missed anyone)
Juniniho as Boro for a short time was excellent.
 
legend, the last of the first as it were, end of an era, my daughter will be distraught
