Fernandinho completed, OS confirmed

[cleavers]

Interviewer on OS had a mare, "Many Brasilians have played in Russia"

Just as well he didn't say "many Russians have Brazilians".

One down, four (or five?) to go. Good to see City getting the new boys in early.

John Cross the Mirror Journo said on Talksport the other day that Fernandinho will be a superstar in the Premier League next season.

As the strap line on the old Stella Artois ad used to go
"Embarrassingly expensive"

Fixed.



Ok, Ok no more "embarrassing" jokes, I promise.
I can't promise in relation to "embarrassing jokes", though.....

I'd just like to thank all the Manchester City fans who've chipped-in to make this deal happen, you've bought a very good player.

Is he any good at free-kicks? As that's something we've been lacking in recent seasons.

Interviewer from OS: "Many Brazilians play in Russia, it's a different culture, how did you get used on it?"

Facepalm..

On 6 June, FC Shakhtar and Manchester City reached an agreement regarding the transfer of the Pitmen’s midfielder Fernandinho to the English club. The Citizens signed the Brazilian for 40 million euros

40 million euros????? what a joke............ shame

very stupid deal

WOW... if we really paid € 40m for this guy and will not get Cavani then I don't understand just exactly what the fuck is going on anymore.

Can't wait to see Fernandinho and Yaya work together under Pellegrini, if Isco is signed it will be amazing to watch those 3 + Silva go to work.
