Fernandinho retires from football

[eastmanc]

Remember when he came to us and thinking, 30 million for a 28 year old is ridiculous, how wrong could I have been. Brilliant player. Enjoy your retirement Fern.

My son was at high school, when we had all these big name superstars. Silva, Aguero, De Bruyne etc... and his teacher says who's your favourite player?
Without hesitation he said 'Fernandinho'!
Enjoy your retirement Ferna.

Media also went with that narrative as we were informed Tottenham had made a better signing with Paulinha.
Brilliant player for us, also versatile when needed, filled in on the right, played centre back but one of the PL's best ever DM's who scored some cracking goals and a great influence around the club. Hope he ends up in the CFG if not back with us.

The sunny outlook of the most popular teacher in the primary school, combined with the steely ruthlessness of a mafia boss. A winning combo. Would love to see him back here.

Great great player, best in his position we have had at City. Fern Yaya Silva Kdb the complete city midfield for me.

Enjoy your retirement, you've deserved it fella.

My favourite ever City player. Fucking exceptional. There was nothing he couldn’t do.

Probably the most underrated PL player ever, particularly by opposition supporters.

All the best to the kid. Get him in as a coach. Show Rodders and Gonzalez how it’s truly done.

He should have a statue.

What a player. What a legend. Hopefully he comes back to city in some capacity.

 

[I'm Blue]

Bring him home…

 

[super_city_si]

Get him back and in the coaching set up.

My all time favourite City player. So calm and assured and world class at his peak. He surely deserves a statue.

 

[Micky Blue]

When he signed I had no idea what we were getting.
I think it was sky who were throwing around the stat that he had most dribbles per game than any other player in the CL for the previous season.

But what a player he was.
Hope he has a great retirement.

Could do a long thread of all the players we have signed who have had glittering careers where pundits said a jobber for a rival who did fuck all was a better signing tbf.

You can't have endless statues, but he's right in that group just below with Hart, Ederson, Yaya, Walker, Gundo, Bernardo, who were absolutely integral in the success we had over the past 15 years - and who would definitely get one if we wanted to turn the Etihad into Charles Bridge in Prague. An unbelievable player. When you saw his name in the line up before a big game, you relaxed a bit.

For the record, Trautmann should get one.

What a player and man. Hope we can get him back at some point in the near future
