Fernandinho to leave at the end of the season

[Deleted member 87819]

An incredible player and family man who is often underrated in Brazil due to World Cups mishaps. But the ones who follow him closely know how brilliant he is.

Genuine legend not just for City but for the Premier league. He's the greatest holding midfielder the league has seen and this will become an undeniable accepted fact once he leaves and fully gets the recognition he deserves.

This is also the right call, he's fit as anything, he's still got plenty of football left in him but not here. Will be a huge loss in the dressing room, we constantly hear from new guys and youngsters how he goes out of his way to make them settle, a true leader.

Hopefully he's back once he hangs up his boots, if not as a coach in the day to day running of the team then at the very least in a role with the inevitable Brazilian expansion to the cfg. He could become critical to us signing the best players out of Brazil for the next decade.

Not a huge surprise and I can only thank the player for what he did for us.
Fantastic player.
“The founder” of the professional foul.
An absolute bargain.

Fully understand his decision goes with what his family wants.

Another drive for the rest of the squad to win silverware and give him a farewell he deserves.

 

[hello]

Wasn’t one of the main drivers for staying this season him & family going for British citizenship? Woukd be a shame to come up a few months short.

Dont know whether this has been discussed already, but surely hes the best and most successful Brazilian ever to grace the Premiership and by some distance.

David Luis, (even tho hes rubbish), Firminho, Gilberto Silva (Arsenal a while back), Gabby Jesus, Alison, Ederson, Berti Glauber probably will get a vote or two...maybe Mirandinha from the deluded barcode fans...

But I dont think theres anyone else who gets close to Dinho (or have I missed anyone)

You are correct that he is #1, but in Brazil people think that above the other names you mentioned, Coutinho is #2.

 

[Mr.Banks]

A tactical decision surely?

 

[Sky Blue Thinking]

Incredible player who has made a huge contribution for us on and off the pitch including apparently inventing tactical fouling. Wasnt aware of him when he signed, other than the media reporting spurs had made a better signing in Paulinho....he soon dispelled that myth...now come on blue boys win some more for him.

 

[mat]

Gonna miss you Dave Chappelle

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

He deserves a statue, he wants to carry on playing, but he won’t get many more chances at City. A shame because I think he has had a massive impact in the dressing room over the years and never let us down on the pitch.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Without doubt he'll be gone but with the status of "legend".

Maybe the best defensive midfielder we've ever had.

Yeah, he outscored Nige!

I've got three City shirts with the grandchildren's names on the back,the year they were born plus the diminutive -INHO finishing them off!

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

He was recently back home in Brazil and that is bound to have made his mind up to go home.

A true City legend, who played such a different role at Donetsk, which tells you just how great he is.

You can't replace people like Fern, you just make the best of it.

The Manc Sicario has earned the right to leave on his terms, and hopefully with three more medals in his back pocket.

Love the guy! Cheers Dihno, it's been a pleasure.

Any CFG jobs out there we could give him?

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Legend of the tactical foul.

 

[meeesh]

Fucking journos proof of twisting someones words to suit their agenda,he never said ,yea I'm leaving in the summer,and they couldn't wait to ask Pep,staggering 10 mins of reporter bullshit.

I watched it live,and they twisted it,slow news day and sky couldn't wait to get it along bottom saying he was going.

He may well go,but he didn't say that today

 

[Keith Moon]

Nothern Foul

 

[SidJames]

Has been a great servant to the Club.

I can understand him wanting more minutes at this advanced stage of his career.

He knows this is not going to happen with us, being a very successful Club playing Big games pretty much every week these days. Minutes will be rare given his age.

One of my all time favourite players.

I am sure the Club will arrange something for one of our Stars.

Funny thing is it wouldn't surpise me that there is more people in Manchester familiar to Glauber than in Brazil
