If pep carries on managing him the way he has done I have no doubt he can play another few seasons.
 
There's been no drop off in his quality and he's super fit so it's a no brainer for me.

It does seem odd to me that the club is so willingly letting him go by the sounds of it. Especially when you take into account what a role model he seems to be.

He might not be at his physical peak but he doesn't seem so far off of it that he's a detriment. Nor is he injury prone like Aguero has become. The fact he's playing well at this mid-stage of the season should only be a good thing, as if he really did have problems then this would be the precise time we'd be seeing them.


I can only assume the club have either:
1) Seen some significant deterioration in his running numbers (including in training) that we're not aware of, meaning they think it's going to become bad in a problematic way next year and beyond.
2) A succession plan in mind, including a player lined up to replace him already.
3) Decided that he's just older and the club are getting ruthless on this front. He might be one of a few to get let go/shipped out, alongside Aguero possibly for example.

Rodri squirms to point 2.
 
I think it's time for some fresh blood in the team so I'm going to go with no, even though I think he actually deserves another year. Same with Sergio.
Bring in some fresh hungry players.
 
He might well be 35, might not be able to play three times in 9 days in a frequent run of games, but when he’s ready to play I still think he’s the best defensive mid in the world.

Can’t think of anyone else who can reach Fernandinho’s level of performances.
 
Fernandinho has raised the bar very high and so anyone that would take up the role has a huge job on his hands. This is why I feel for Rodri sometimes even though I believe he will do wonders for us as we go on.

The thing about Fern is that he not only raises the bar defensively but he also does going forward. There are obvious shortcomings now that he is much older but when he is on the pitch, he tries to propel us in attack as much as possible. New contract is a no brainer.
 
Remember summer 2013 when Dinho signed for an inflated fee and Tottenham made a better signing in Paulinho, how long is left on his contract I wonder?
Dinho has been superb from day 1 despite the media obsession his "tactical fouling" which no other player does.
 
During shakhtar vs chelsea 2012 uefa match i was praying city should sign his dude .
