Fernandinho retires from football

[pudge]

Officially retired today

Once again, the word may get thrown around nowadays but, simply put, what an absolute legend.

 

[Man_City_Loyal]

Truly hope we see him at City in a coaching capacity

 

[ninjamonkey]

Would love to see him back here as one of Peps coaching staff but even if he doesnt want to coach, a role within cfg surely awaits him. If he wants to remain in Brazil, we have Bahia.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Loved him to bits, miss that cheeky grin,City legend in my eyes

 

[balotellishaircut]

I don’t think I loved a player as much as I loved Fernandinho, his two standout performances for me were City 6 Arsenal 3 and City 2 Liverpool 1, 2019, a true legend of the club, happy retirement.

 

[mrcakey]

For me he deserves a statue every bit as much as Vinny, Kun, and Dave. Absolute colossus of a player.

 

[its a Barm]

Hoped he might come back in some capacity to our club, true legend loved by everyone

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

Now is the time. Come on home. Legend.

 

[MCFC1993]

Moved to his own retirement thread, deserves it.

Been a great player in the game, club legend who would always be welcomed back. He and his family seemed to enjoy it here.

Great character, great attitude, great player.

 

[TinFoilHat]

I would like to see our number one Dave Chappel lookalike come back in a coaching role.

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Get him on that subs bench rapid and get Dinho Jr in the academy aswell

 

[jimharri]

For me he deserves a statue every bit as much as Vinny, Kun, and Dave. Absolute colossus of a player.

It'll end up resembling the Terracotta Army outside the stadium!

 

[jaiguruKun]

Between 2017-21, if Fernandinho was in the team you knew you would get the best version of City. Brilliant footballer and leader. The Professor Emeritus of CD Economics!

 

[spacecadet]

Absolute top drawer Blue.

 

[Rhapsody in Blue]

That pundits had to make up the expression "tactical fouling" to diminish how good Dinho actually was says it all. Absolute legend.

Yeah but he was genius at it ;-)

Despite all the great players we've had, he remains one of my favourites.

 

[TFC]

Loved him. Love him. Come back please in some capacity.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Yeah but he was genius at it ;-)

Despite all the great players we've had, he remains one of my favourites.

Aye, I remember one of the co-commentators admiring his ability to do it and then look at the referee in a 'butter wouldn't melt' way and avoid the yellow. Hope he's back at City one day.

Legend

 

[Don Karleone]

One of our best signings, and I also hope that he comes back in whatever capacity he wants someday.
