This must be the first time a player has rejected us because he felt we were too good for him?!
By all accounts it had all been agreed yesterday and he must have thought it all through so for him to have changed his mind so late is more than a little odd.
My hunch is that someone from within the England setup had a word to dissuade him from coming, told him that if he stayed at Villa he was nailed on for the Euros and if he would jeopardise that by signing for us.
It's shame as I think he'd have been a good signing for us. Fernandinho is now the wrong side of 30 and the other Fern is garbage so it's clearly an area that needs addressing.
