Fernandinho completed, OS confirmed

[NoahCity]

Fernandinho seems an excellent player to me from the little I've seen of him. That little includes two games against Chelsea, in which he seemed anything but the Ramires-but-not-as-good player the press now dub him. He was wanted by numerous "big" clubs (one not far from here) but now he is a City player. The Bleacher Report and our 'Arry's son reckon he will be the transfer of the window and will take the PL by storm. Our friend from Talksport also had glowing praise to lavish on Navas. Two pretty good buys.

How much? £58 million the pair .... if you believe the press. I don't. Stuart Brennan, speaking on the radio (Talksport?) yesterday, said he had no idea where the figure of £34 million came from, that he thought that someone had added transfer fee and wages together, and that the figure he was getting from sources within City was £22 million. The figure for Navas was £17 million. The Fernandinho deal was "stuck" until the signing of two Brazilians appears to have given Shakhtar an appetite for the deal, which was blocked because City wouldn't contemplate the release clause value. I can't see why we should suddenly cave in. The Navas deal appears to have gone smoothly without the need to haggle and bicker.

The ground seems to have been well prepared by City and we got our men - at a fair price.

should read the comment section on Bleacher Report though, most people saying City overspent, silly signing, etc. Then again though, seems that about 75% of the people on that website are Arsenal, Man Utd, Chelsea, Pool, Spurs fans. Very few City fans.

I wonder what the main driving force is behind those questioning the fee paid ??

you're not allowed to question them sam

not unless you want to be accused of being a paranoid anti-rag hawk who wants the board to be run like north korea

perhaps we should run the place like RAWK/ragcafe so the number of saddos on here pretending to be blues feel more at home

I vote in favour

Hi raggies, how the fuck are you?? whats going on down at Mordor central ?? Oh yeah,things are being reddied for the misty mountain tunnel dweller to take over the reins from Sauron Ferguson..
Is the rest of middle earth worried ?? nah...not at all,The fellowship of the bling-his highness sheikh Mansour has been busy with Bilbo Soriano on covert missions to the four corners of the shire recruiting forces to fight the creature Gollum.
we have sent scouts to the holy land and have persuaded Jesus of Navas to fight for our cause, scouts have been sent to the steps of Mongolia to recruit Fernandinho khan..Now many question the fees we have to pay these mercenaries for their skills in warfare against the dark side,but Victory is ours for the taking,, Mordor spies are everywhere trying to use propaganda against our cause but to no avail..

we will fight you, we will beat you,and your reign of terror will be consigned to the history books..

We will bumfuckyou backwards..we are the lords of your rings..



I fducking love perroni !!!

Overspending is a very simple concept :
If the goods or services I wish to purchase costs £100 and I only have £99 then I will have to overspend . If the goods or services costs £30million and I have got more money than I know what to do with , then it is impossible for me to overspend ! Simples

The thing about rags en masse on here, masquerading as blues, is that they are a unique phenomenon.

I think most forum-dwelling football fans look at their rivals' sites from time to time and any open, decent rags are welcome on here, at least by me.

What distinguishes united fans is the pathetic joy they take in coming on here in great numbers and pretending to be blues. They even celebrate it on rag cafe.

When I tell mates who support other clubs about it, they refuse to believe a group of people could be that sad.

I've got plenty of mates who follow united. Fuck me, the rest of my family follow the fuckers, so I know they've got plenty of decent fans, but they've got a serious number of sad fucks who follow them too.

It displays palpable signs of collective mental health problems tbh.

they are not real rags mate, most rags I know are sound, even most on the café seem level headed but this lot on here are plastics from all over the globe. if they were rags, proper rags especially match going ones they would sell their own grandma before coming on here for any reason, let alone actually sign up as a blue. fuck me how sad is that.

Sad but true, I know plenty of decent Rags, and like has been said there are a fair few on their forums, however they have attracted a lot of knob heads most of whom would be hard placed to find Old Trafford on a map

City are all about the short term, aren't they? Navas turns 28 in November and Fernandinho turned 28 last month. Yaya Toure was 27 when they signed him, Maicon 31, Barry 28..

In the last 5 seasons(2008 until present), despite spending insane amounts in the transfer markets, City has only managed to sign 4 good players under 24(at the time of signing); Aguero, Zabaleta, Kompany and Nastasic. It's therefore no wonder that City as a team, is totally crap if you remove everyone born before 1988, as beautifully illustrated in this thread. Only Nastasic and Aguero makes the cut then(if we only include good players). That's two measly players! Compare that to these teams:

United: Kagawa, DDG, Hernandez, Welbeck, Rafael, Cleverley, Jones, Smalling, Evans, Anderson, Zaha etc.
Chelsea: Hazard, Mata, Lukaku, De Bruyne, Oscar, Azpilicueta, Schürrle(recent).
Dortmund: Lewandowski, Reus, Grosskreutz, Gündogan, Bender, Hummels, Subotic, Schmelzer.
Bayern: Götze, Kroos, Müller, Martinez, Alaba, Boateng, Shaqiri etc.
Barcelona: Thiago, Busquets, Sanchez, Alba, Tello.
Real: Coentrao, Sahin, Özil, Di Maria, Marcelo, Varane.

Several of these sides have spent significantly less money than City as well. When are they gonna learn to think more than 1-2 seasons ahead?

They are the new bitters.



P.S a lad I know says he's "A Rich Man's Dembele" when I asked him if he knew who he was.
