Fernandinho

[dannyboy91uk]

Is no one concerned at the transfer prices and the ages of these players? Experienced, in their prime but it seems to me like a lot of money will be spent on ageing players.

Ageing players? At 27 and 28! Pass me my pipe and slippers then call the u detainer, I must be ready for going at 42 if 28 is ageing.

What I meant by ageing is no sell on value if they stick to their supposed 5 year contracts, at least in Navas's case.

resale isn't always an issue.
winning trophies will gain revenue...

With Fernandinho and Navas we will have two really dynamic players.....their sheer pace will give the team a new dimension......unfortunately the likes of Garcia, Barry and Milner just cannot compete in the same way and I think our management have acted to resolve this deficiency in the team.

I don't think Fernandinho is all that fast. Not Barry/Garcia slow, but not Ramires fast either.

Are you guys going to see Garcia?

I think Barry can do a job but Garcia looks really slow and lethargic.

I think City are clearly going for a top squad now to try and not just compete but to win the Champions League.

The worldwide fame, money and sponsorships etc. that will be gained through the Champions League is everything.....they would not be worrying about a sell on fee for Navas in five years if success in the CL is achieved.

Garcia would be a good player in a Europa League team, Chmpions League I just don't think he has the pace.

I have to question his midfield abilities as well, his passing is not always great and always seems to misplace passes here and there.

I think he is a better center back, but not at a top 4 club.

We will see, he could really shine under Pellegrini next season.

He says all the right things. Sounds like a really nice bloke.

As a clean, efficient passer, Garcia is one of our best. He probably gives it away the least.

Seriously?

He telegrraphs his bobbly passes about 5 mins in advance.



Anyway,

Is this really on then? Isco, Fernandinho and Jesus?

It's not missed placed passes that are his problem it's that he is very ponderous with the ball at his feet and appears to have it taken off him quite frequently.
