Fernandinho signs one year contract extension (Pg 91)

Bugger off. You are in the minority here mate.

I couldn't give a single fuck but I think you will possibly be more shocked, go and spend a few hours in a Yaya thread and see how many people think he is a **** for the way he acted.

I prefer my legends to bleed blue when cut not slag the club off about a fucking cake.

Ha sorry @lionheart I misquoted you, it was the post above yours I was meant to click on lol sorry again

Zabba , Yaya , Vinny , Merlin , Kun , Dinho all heroes who have now been replaced or are about to be , its just the evolution of the club , we are still winning titles/trophies because the recruitment at the club has been first class . In a decade we will be saying a fond farwell to new heroes , just hope there is enough room for all the statues.

Ultimate professional. Would be great to have him mentoring the next generations of blues midfielders.

Been immense again this season back in his proper position, and raised a few "what if" questions about last seasons experiment. Must get a new deal

I'd give him another two year contract
Wonderful player

I'm judging this on footballing contribution and performance alone. Though I don't believe Yaya quite deserves a statue, I think it's undeniable that he's been critical to our rise.

I love Zaba and he's an absolute champion, zero doubt about that, but you don't make statues based on a guy being a good bloke.

No, but you can for a good bloke who also played 333 games for the club over ten years, 333 games that he gave 100% in.
When he arrived here, he was a yellow card machine and didn't look good enough but strangely as the team improved he just kept improving with them until he was the best RB in the world or at least top 3 to save any more argument, he was the best RB in the prem for 5 seasons at least, Yaya was a talented footballer no doubt about it but he tainted his legacy for a lot of fans, imo he was true world-class for 3 seasons with the 20 goal season right in the middle, he was very good either side of that 3 years and the last 2 not so much and the last one was frankly terrible.

But how do you judge a right-backs contribution to Aguero's goals, Silva's assists and silky play?

VK seems to have no trouble, maybe his leadership is the key difference as captain, his important goals at crucial times? No can't be that as Zab scored in the 93:20

Also, I never said Yaya wasn't a critical part of our rise, I said he wasn't a legend in my eyes.

there is a reason why people wanted Zabs back at this club as a coach or whatever, we certainly seem to have got that wish and probably worth mentioning, Zaba is that humble he would probably hate a statue of himself anyway :)

There's surely little doubt that Ferna deserves another season with us, if that's what he wants - still an incredible player who regularly has a big influence on the course of a match.

I hope it happens ... but of course Pep, like all managers, can be ruthless at times.

It wasn't an experiment it was "needs must" for much of the season, but that says more about not replacing Vinny being a mistake.

"Back in his proper position" is the key though, because he reads the game so well, and it's not just his defensive qualities either, he gets us on the attack quicker than Rodri does, and he does get in and around the box. He's the "perfect" midfielder really, and there aren't many (if any currently) who can play this role as effectively.
