Garbage.IMO it's other way round - City players get seriously overrated as the system hides their weak points. Dinho isn't a wordclass player, the credit for his performances should go to Pep first and foremost. Did you think of Dinho as of elite midfielder during Pellegrini era?

Yes. Unlike most we saw him play for 90 minutes every week and knew how good he was. Even before Yaya's decline, asking who was better was a good way to start a heated row.Did you think of Dinho as of elite midfielder during Pellegrini era?
Yes of course hes been our most consistant player since he signed. Can count the number of bad games hes had on one hand. Surprised any city fan would disagree tbhIMO it's other way round - City players get seriously overrated as the system hides their weak points.

Makes sense now i know he isnt a city fan. I honestly wouldnt take any midfielder in the world over fernandinho, he really is the perfect player. Cant think of a weakness in his game tbh. And the amazing thing is he hasnt even been playing in his real position since he arrived five years ago.Garbage.
Fernandinho is very much world class,the fact there are very few better in his position,in world football,is evidence of that.He has been one of our most consistent players,irrespective of managers.Pep is getting the best out of individuals,of that there is no doubt,but the natural talent and ability has to be there in order to do such.
Its good to have the opinions of none City fans though,however wrong they are.

Lol fernandinho is probably the most irreplaceable player in our side at the moment. He is top draw most fans including myself regard him as a unsung hero like Barry was. The club paid a fortune for him knowing there would be no resale value and not knowing how he would settle in England it was a huge gamble and one they wouldn't have taken unless they believed him to be world class
I think that Fernandinho could have been a really effective box to box player and scored lots more goals than he has if City managers had given him a more attcking role. It is to his credit that he taken on the roles he has been asked to play and performed really well at them.
He is the most important player in our squad as I do not think anyone else could play his role anything like as effectively. Has been a great signing for us.
Guys, have you read my initial post? Did I say he was inconsistent, 'bad' this season? Did I say he should be replaced? The point I'm trying to make is that he's not unique. Have you seen Fred from Shakhtar, rumoured to be on City radar? Could you classify him as worldclass, i.e. top 2-3 in his position? Replace Dinho with Fred, and you won't see any difference in a year. It's more about integration than player's unique ability (ofc the suitable skillset/quality are needed).Makes sense now i know he isnt a city fan. I honestly wouldnt take any midfielder in the world over fernandinho, he really is the perfect player. Cant think of a weakness in his game tbh.
