Fernandinho

[Syth]

Brazilians are like Duracell bunnies, so his age won't be a factor whatsoever.

This guy is fecking brilliant and does all the right stuff.

A little concerned he predominantly drives through the right side of midfield, same as Yaya, and it is Barry's side which needs replacing.

This is where I see our new left winger being someone who can run all day, score goals and also not be scared to stick his foot in.

Any word on Bale?

Much as I would love it, mate, I think Madrid have the boy completely boxed off at present.

I have been told to expect a major surprise from left field, but would wager that would be more akin to a Neymar or Reus, than Bale.

Oh please let it be Reus! Why are you doing this to us tolmie, I can't wait now!!!

Why are we buying thsi great player. Marvin was telling me and others that Garcia would be a top player and one of our best players :/

Buzzing that we're pushing this through. Chelsea were bang in for him and I mean bollock deep. Apperently they are going to go for one of Khedira, Fellaini or Paulinho and that's 100% (so I'm told), we'll see in the summer.

This guy is a few levels aabove Barry and Garcia and I actually wonder if the performances of Barry dropped when he knew this lad was signing. His comment of 'theres been changes upstairs and we will have to see what happens' (to paraphrase) is starting to make me question things now. I wonder if his heads dropped seeing team-mates signing new deals and he's not been offered and he knows this lads been signed up. I reckon he will be offered a 3 year deal on 70k or something a week. I'd rather pay him it than Garcia I know that much.

As for Tolmies left winger comment, I would not put it past the club to finally get a Barca player. Pedro or most likely Sanchez?

Pedro all day long. Superb player.

If Madrid are in for Bale, I wonder if we would be a chance with Di Maria? Top shelf player.

Yaya can do more than just stand on his left foot; guess you missed his goal at the weekend ;-)<br /><br />-- Wed May 01, 2013 9:02 am --<br /><br />

Mourinho wants to take Di Maria to Chelsea; allegedly.

Fernandinho could have saved our season if he came in January...Anyway if he did end up in City this summer, I will call it the best signing for the summer for sure

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Fernandinho - is this not just the Brazilian way of stickin' Wio on yer shirt?

 

[Rorz88]

This is my only concern. If Rodwell comes good, Micah recovers and we keep Barry around I think we'll have a good foundation. Hopefully City can develop some English talent in our new system. As it seems we're having no luck finding any on the market.

If Will Hughes were not a central midfielder, I would have thought we'd make a move for him but we're pretty full in that area.
Maybe branch out into British talent? Bale, Williams at Palace, Davies at Swansea etc...

Reus, Novaretti, Cavani and Fernandinho.

Sounds like a pretty good window.

Corrected for accuracy ;)

I wouldn't say Barry's performances have dipped, still very consistent and professional, i would look at it differently that perhaps he is playing for an extended contract

Barry has been good but he's been shocking in a few selected games. Southampton was disgusting for instance.

To be brutally honest our English palyers are a level below top player level and whilst we field them we will always be lacking somewhat.

Lescott, Barry and Milner are all good players but none would get in Barca, Real, Bayern, Dortmund, Juventus etc.

All three are good players for us but all three need upgrading on. Of this there really is no denying.

 

[jaden19]

what about garcia?

what does that mean for him because toure, fernandinho and barry are most likely going to be the ones that start?

Btw he is a great player. Barca were sniffing around for him but we got Song in the end.
