Disappointed if City are looking at this guy. I would have thought people realise that City are a perfect case in point that you can target the right sort of personalities rather than just focusing on ability and still be successful. In fact I would argue that recruiting these types of genuinely good characters has been a major contributing factor to the club's sustained success over Pep's tenure.
The club's insistence of signing the right type of people has ensured a tight-knit group of players that pull together for each other, cause very little disruption, and have the humble attitude combined with confidence in their own ability to challenge for silverware year after year, after year. The ones that don't fit that ideal tend not to last too long (Cancelo, Sterling when he saw his arse after being dropped).
Comparing Fernandez to Bernardo character-wise just because they both have a bit of tenacity to them is ridiculous. Bernardo's shithousery was always hugely overstated IMO, only really Liverpool supporters can have a reasonable excuse for their dislike of him, for most other supporters he was simply a very good opponent who never gave their teams a moments peace. Off the field it's pretty clear Bernardo is simply one of the nicest people, whereas Fernandez has shown signs of being a disruptive, unsavoury individual, the sort of player who should be left for the rags to blow huge money on. With Txiki and Pep still in charge I don't think interest in this guy would have gone beyond an initial scouting stage and for me, that should be enough of a red flag. Definite no for me.
