Fernandinho completed, OS confirmed

[mancityscot]

30 million is absolutely ludicrous, however.

Not that the price matters but how can you possibly say this when we've not even seen him in a City shirt on the pitch yet?

quite shocked to be honest. not saying he is not going to be good, but 30 million for a 28 year old brazilian player with only 5 international caps. looks a decent player, but so is yaya toure, silva, tevez, nasri etc and they cost 25 million and below.

who's he best compared to, playing style wise?

Ramires with much better passing I reckon and better tackling

Name me a better defensive midfielder than him , the guy dominated midfield in literally every single match for Shakhtar , and yes he can shoot. Expect a bumper performance from him this season as he wants to be the part of Brazilian squad for World Cup.

i want to kill myself. you never really seen him in action have you? because if had and with the knowledge of what we really need, He is the perfect fit.

That's really the only close one except he's just better at everything than ramires. I'm not thrilled about the fee but the work he's gonna put in for us will justify it in the end.

Move on past the fee guys we just got a hell of a player

This signing will release Yaya to once again.

Dinho holding, Yaya attacking.

Jesus on the right, Silva on the left, Sergio and Cavani up front. Where does Isco play? :-)

Tevez(?), Dzeko(?), Barry, Garcia, Nasri, Milner, to make way.

 

[Bodicoteblue]

You can't really tell how much he's worth until we've seen his contribution on the pitch
If he's instrumental in winning the title and/or getting us to the 1/4 or semis of the CL , how do you gauge his worth to the club ?
It's holistic now.

We welcome Fernandinho, with the number 25
