Fernandinho

[The Fat el Hombre]

Not seen much of him but seems fucking expensive for a 28 year old who's been playing in the russian league for the past 7 years

Ukraine.

Very unerrated league, with underrated players. Only reason they people stay in Ukraine for example instead of fullfilling their potential is that they can get a lot of money there.

Players like Srna, Fernandinho , WIllian is brilliant payers whom can reach a very high level as footballers

I really hope I am wrong but I am not impressed by this at all. For me this is the most important area of the side we need to improve, and like most I am a massive fan of both Barry and Milner.

I was hoping for a Fabregas or a Thiago to come in. Not a 27 year old from the Ukranian League who doesn't get a look in for Brazil.

never seen him play but all I know is that I'd be extremely disappointed if the best the club could do was spend 23 million of Fellaini, who is inconsistent and a dirty bastard

At least we know he can perform in the Prem. Fellaini aside this guy has only ever played in the Ukraine and last played for Brazil over a year ago. I trust in the new Barca guys though and hope I'm wrong.

I think you underestimate this lad. Has been quite effective for some time now in the champions league and has the mobility, touch, passing, and shooting to really improve our central midfield

I hope so but how many blues were calling for his signature before we were linked? Now everyone seems happy but isn't that what happens with most players we sign to begin with?

I know I was.

Haha one then!

I'm hoping he might just be a player that the team needs because no way would I would have thought he was worth that otherwise. I know it's not my money but FFPR dictates we only have so much to spend.

Really want this story to be true he is a running machine just like Ramires but his all round game is probably better.

Hes not a stereotypical brazilian who cries at the sign of the rain coming hes been grafting away in the midfield for Shakhtar in sub zero temperatures.

Oh and he can shift too.

This transfer window is looking promising from all the reports so far. Seems we have learnt from our mistakes last summer!

 

[tilbz]

He is someone to me who we haven`t got since we replaced Nige,with a slow moving tank in Garcia.
£23M is a risk,but then again me and you aren`t paying it.

Wait until they announce the season ticket prices for next season before saying that. ; )

 

[Joehannes]

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.

Who? Fernandinho or García?

You really need to ask?

Not really but his post was slightly ambiguous. It shocked me!

 

[Braggster]

you'd really be happy paying 23million for Fellaini?

You happy for 23 on this guy? He's worth half that.

never seen him play but all I know is that I'd be extremely disappointed if the best the club could do was spend 23 million of Fellaini, who is inconsistent and a dirty bastard

Fellaini is decent, but not technically up to the standard we require, IMO

Brazilians who play in the Ukrainian league aren't visible enough, so to speak. Brazil's managers are often afraid to pick them because of how the fans, not having seen much of the players, would react. Sounds mad but it's true.

Fabregas I agree with although he's a different postion. Thiago Alacantra is an unporven player too and he's a wide and attacking player. Fernandinho is a defensive and centralised midfielder. Has an engine and has a complete game. He battered Chelsea and I mean battered them. I've not seen huge ammounts but I keep an eye on Shaktar because of the Brazilian players they sign. Costa, Willian and Fernandinho all interested me, we've just signed one of them and imo he's the one we needed most out the three of them. The other two wouldn't be uprgades on Yaya or Silva but Fernandinho is an upgrade on Barry and Garcia, no doubt.

Now all we need is an English LB, be it Shaw or Baines.
We need another CB imo unless we keep Richards.
We need a left sided wide player and we need a world class striker to replace Dzeko and the already gone Balotelli with.

Ideally we will Shaw, Marquinhos, Pedro/Sanchez/Reus/Di Maria and Cavani/Falcao. I also reckon a few young squad options, Kondogbia and Obiang fit the discription as does Williams.


Roll on next season :)
