Fernandinho completed, OS confirmed

[ManCitizens.]

Even the evening news are now reporting £30m +£4m from the player and Navas £15m rising to £18m with add ons

£45m for the 2 combined is a fair price IMO.

I am sure someone will know the answer but how can he possibly qualify for a work permit he is neither a EU citizen and hasnt played in 75% of Brazil games in the last 2 years.

Not really
Fernadinho is good but not 34m good. If he was young than yeah, but i think its too much for a player that has been playing in Ukraine and not in the Brazillian squad.

He cost more than Yaya Toure and David Silva, and he isnt as good as those players.

I think city overpaid for him.

Navas's fee is fair and accurate.

If Ferran and Txiki think he's worth £30m, then that's fine by me. And we were never going to get him on the cheap. Shaktar aren't exactly penniless, are they?

22.5m for each player is decent IMO. What isn't decent is 50m + Eto'o for Ibrahimovic.

Overpaying slightly doesn't matter if you can afford it. It's not like we handed the money to a rival either. This just shows how badly we wanted him and thought there weren't better options.

He deserves a lot of credit for giving up a 4m loyalty bonus to move. If we win a lot of trophies with him for the next 5-6 years...he will be worth it. This is a guy who wants to play for City.

 

[swifty]

A combined £45m for two players who could be vital to regaining the title and advancing in europe, earning us £90m+ in the process, i can live with that.

 

[Blue Haze]

Truth is I don't give a fuck about the money. It's the sheikh's money and he'll spend it how he pleases.

We have enough bean counters to make sure that we're not overspending. Shakhtar aren't some piss poor small club, they have a tycoon owner who probably like selling his best players as much as we do.

I could not be more excited. To finally, FINALLY have a mobile, good passing midfield partner for Yaya is something I've fantasized about since Yaya got here. Tremendous buy and well done to everyone involved. Fernandinho's attitude is outstanding and he is very motivated. Good times!

 

[Marvin]

Never any guarantees over signings, but I this will be our best signing yet. Not only is he a very gifted player, but he has attributes which we lack. That's key

As for the fee Shakhtar did not want to sell him, but we wanted him badly. And rightly so

Talksport just had someone on to discuss Fernandinho. I don't know who he was, but he was very positive and basically salivating at the prospect of Yaya and Fernandinho playing together next season. He said that the player that Fernandinho was most like was Yaya, and can you imagine the prospect of 2 Yaya's in 1 midfield! Happy days!
