Fernandinho

[Why Always Ste]

The quotes are pointless really as the Manager is not the businessman... he's the bloke on the pitch side, he doesn't have much involvement with how much players are bought/sold for or whether the club will help City or not.

He's talking shit.

Will we sign him? fuck knows... The British media are clueless aswell and are dripfed from journo's abroad :)

Posted a similar thing in another thread, BUT....

Using the rumoured 4-3-3 for next season, loosely, and the three other blokes we've been most heavily linked to, we'd look something like this...

------------------- Hart -------------------

Zabaleta---Kompany---Nastasić---Clichy

--------------- Fernandinho ---------------
----------Yaya-------------Milner*---------

---------Silva---------------Agüero--------
-------------------Cavani-------------------

Subs: Pantillimon Novaretti Richards Rodwell/Garcia* Barry Tevez Guidetti

Could be convinced to hand one of Suarez (ours), Lopes, Pozo etc a place on the pine in place of Rodders, who'll probably get hurt, or Garcia, who I'm sick of being patiently defensive of.

I also think a midfield three of Barry (DM) and Yaya and Fernandinho at CM could work; that way GazBaz could simply sit in place and let the other two maraud forward, meaning his lack of pace wouldn't be so exposed.

The hypothetical also assumes Nasri has moved on to pastures new, along with Kolo and Lescott...

I could certainly learn to love that line up...

WTF!

I though Di Marzio, who broke this news, is usually spot on about these things and basically said this was a done deal... now Shakhtar's manager comes out and says he will cost 50M? and that we're a step down ... (total C9nt by the way) ... Did Di Marzio jump the gun or something?!

Then, I think we are currently at the fee discussion stage. Most probably yet to settle on a fee.

I reckon this is almost done, I think these comments from the Shakter owner are just the usual posturing bull shit, where he can say he put up a fight etc.

The amount of short passing and touch required to play in a midfield 3 with a false 9 would just overwhelm Milner.

As there's not a false 9 in that line up he'll be fine...

If you don't think Cavani won't be collecting the ball from deep you've lost it. Especially since you don't even have a winger in there.

Milner is just not equipped to play Champions League football from the midfield position. In the lineup you have their isn't a single true winger. To help that process.

----Kongdogbia-------Yaya-------------
-----------------Silva--------------------
*Winger*--------Cavani-----------Aguero

Milner could play out wide in this setup. As he has for some time. But unless he's playing as the highest midfielder in the 3 he is a liability.

'If City want to [sign Fernandinho], the
clause is £42.3m,' Lucescu told Pro TV.

'If our players receive offers from teams higher than Shakhtar, we do everything possible to help them. Currently, I think Manchester City are not at our level.'


What a dick head let him keep his player for that sum

I have just seen a picture of this Ferdinandho guy on sky sports website, didn't realise he was black! I thought he was a Leonardo type looking guy.

Really think before you make a comment like this. I don't think you are being racist but seriously what difference does it make?

Probably just means he got the player mixed up with someone else, obviously.

 

[alky313]

Before anyone asks, he's not being racist. He's just stereotyping Brazilian midfielders to look like Kaka.

Get over it.

exactly. ffs everyones heads fall off because he dared to ask a colour , its boring he should not have to be scared to ask ,

 

[Le Havre Oswald]

fucking crazy how everyone crys because someone didnt know he was black. Im sure if it was the other way around know one would say a word. Worlds going mad.

This. Fucking hell. Would it have made any difference if he had said " I didn't realise he was Brazillian" or about a million other ways of describing him?

Chill out and stop getting worked up about something which there is absolutely nothing to get worked up about!

 

[GX Blue]

Fuck sake!
All he said was he didnt realise he was black...

How can that be offensive? Its a general observation! What is wrong with everyone these days?

 

[Mayor West]

Haha bloody hell didn't realise that would cause offence to anyone!! Blimey!
