Fernandinho - 2019/20 Performances

[Stelea]

In his proper midfield role he would be more effective than Gundogan and Rodri

He cannot play in the middle anymore,it was unreasonable for pep to expect him to,hung him out to dry

Maybe signing him to a 1 year extension was a mistake. Legs are done and father time is undefeated.

Of course it is. He should have been allowed to move to Italy with Dave. We are keeping older players too long. This only harms us.

 

[Charlesfarsbar]

Has been a legend but his time as a useful footballer for Manchester City is over

not sure what he’s going to be doing next year other than mentoring some of the younger players, perhaps he could start his coaching badges

 

[Withnail]

Without doubt the best defensive midfielder the PL has seen. Unfortunately, his legs are going and he is past his best.

 

[RayCTID]

I would still keep him as a squad player but he has no longer the legs to play against our rivals or in the bigger games

 

[Silva_Spell]

Of course it is. He should have been allowed to move to Italy with Dave. We are keeping older players too long. This only harms us.

Given Vinny and now David are gone Dinho will/should stay next season for leadership/the dressing room. He is the perfect pro and one of the few who will give a bollocking.

If need be we can let him go on a free at any time during the season

 

[Neville Kneville]

His legs may have 'gone' but they are still better than our other two options.

 

[Gabriel]

Of course it is. He should have been allowed to move to Italy with Dave. We are keeping older players too long. This only harms us.

The worrying thing is that we even offered Silva another year as well and will likely try to tempt Aguero with something similar as well. These guys have been great servants, but we now need to be ruthless and draw a line, and not just with the older players.

The irony is that Fernandinho may still be our number one right-sided centre back when the season starts. Garcia, Stones, and Otamendi will most likely leave and Koulibaly will need time to settle, so I can see him and Ake at the back.
