Castles tweeted a link title something along the lines of 'Txixi's first signing'.

I replied with "what about the reports saying Shakhtar want 50mil, with quotes from their manager?"

He direct messaged me back saying "Fighting talk. But it's not Lucescu who decides who gets sold or how much for."

Interesting.

Nope, I can't reply either because he doesn't follow me. If you want I could probably upload a picture?

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and DONT shout.

Deal not done and his release clause is 42 million so unless he will accept 23 million I think we will be looking elsewhere

Cheers mate, any idea if he's any good?

Looks a good player mate but not for 42 million

Garcia 'looked a good player' - we need better than that! THE only players who should come in now have to be already world class or top prospect youngsters.........

The quotes are real, he said them on PRO TV in Romania yesterday.

But like others have said, they won't make a big difference in the end I don't think.

No difference and no point. It's really a bizarre thing to come out with and I'm not entirely sure what he was trying to do.. If a team better than Shakhtar comes in we'll do everything we can to help you buy our players, but if someone like City come along offering above market value we'll tell them to piss off.. What sort of stance is that? Did he help with the first draft of FFP?

exactly. we've been told that we'd have to pay the buyout clause for garcia and we got him for 8m less. I imagine this is just more of the same.

Not sure how relevant, but Fernandinho managed by same agent as Aguero + Dzeko.
i.e. we have dealt with them before over transfers etc.

sorry for not being upto speed guys...but is this dude any good ..would he make a difference?

He would give us more drive going forward from midfield and help us eradicate that plodding and lethargic feel that comes from our midfield. He was excellent against Chelsea and Dortmund.

In the Champions League this year he averaged 3 times more successful dribbles per game than any City player has managed in the Premier League (3.9 dribbles per game, our top dribbler is Aguero with 1.9 per game).

I can't be bothered playing the same game as last season.

No mark Manager(ring any bells?) gives City ultimatum and tries taking the piss.

Here we f***ing go again!

Lightweight middle of the road player - nothing truly exceptional - not sure why we think this type of player is going to help us win our league next season never mind cope with the likes of Bayern and Dortmund

Much better than Kevin Strootman.

You clearly have not seen him play nor have the foresight to understand what he could achieve when you put in a team with Aguero, Yaya, Kompany, Silva..etc

Fernandinho has pulled Shakhtar out of tight situations.. the guy can and has been an underrated match winner most of the times... He was a nightmare for Chelsea. There is a very good reason why his coach is having a public hissy fit and insulting us, because he knows very well he is about to lose a world class box to box player with the ability to power shoot accurately from range, shift the ball with some serious pace and really get stuck in and cover defenders... In simple terms he is like a brazilian upgrade on De Jong and Ramires but with the added ability passing, shooting and speed.

The Manager is part of the United PR team, as well as working for the Sun as and when.

So after 56 pages are we anywhere nearer understanding whether he is our man or not?

Seems to have some qualities we are lacking in midfield and would improve us especially in CL (thats where the owner, club and rest of the world media say we need to improve - not fussed myself, prem league more important) but will be untested in prem league and of course he has that winters night in the pissing rain at Stoke to worry about. I don't care what he costs to be honest, we will pay whatever we think he is worth if not, he won't be coming but at least we know even if not the main target that a more mobile and complete midfield player is who we are looking at.

I think he has seen worse weather and teams in Ukraine ;o)
