Fernandinho

[Champions2012!]

Such a calm and modest player andhis English is great.
Worth more than the entire spuds 110m summer "reinforcements"

When we signed him for a reported 30 mil, I was a bit concerned that he was going to be another lightweight Brazilian as I didn't know much about him. Glad to say I think he has proved me wrong. Player of the season so far I think.

Completely different players. De Jong was great at what he did.

Decent player but limited whereas Fernandinho is a truly world class all round midfielder.

Not mentioned in same breath,fuck me,I wish we had De Jong now,best in football at what he does,we would not lose at Cardiff,Villa and fucking Sunderland with him in the team

As I said he is decent player but Fernandinho is just on another level to him.

And they can do one.

I was pleasantly surprised by his goals on saturday. I do realise he's Brazilian, and all Brazilians are world beaters (now now; leave Jo and Glauber out of it!), but he's supposed to be playing the role of ''holding midfielder'' for the likes of Merlin, Yaya and Samir. Yet his two goals were pure class. The first one was a finish that Kun or the Beast would have been proud of, and the calm way he chipped Szczęsny (had to check that spelling!) for his second was very clever. And at 28, he is at his peak. Plus he speaks English better than what I do!

Could De Jong do what Fernandinho did to Arsenal?

Personally I think city fans are really underrating him and dont realise how good he actually is. I rate him higher than Toure tbh.

With De Jong tonight, solid player, tracks players well and keeps possession but is incredibly limited to what e can do with the ball.

Watched him a lot this season,have to say he is like Zabba,Jim and Vinny....you would want them in the trenches next to you.

Ferno is a different type of player.

Nige has been immense for Milan this season.

They're different players in the sense that Nige is the conventional defensive midfielder whereas Dinho is far from conventional but both are great at what they do.

Whoscored - Fernandinho

Ferno different player and better than Toure I agree,De Jong is best at what he does,looks good in a shite AC side,but please do not dismiss him,your comment sounded disrespectful which I'm sure you didn't mean it to.

Yeah , that's right with dejong in the team we just used to lose at places like Wolves and Hull et al . Oh, and we did also lose at Sunderland with him in the team .

Pissed off with the dejong myth , he wasn't good enough for us and wanted to leave , ancient history .

Its like comparing a tug-boat to a Ferrari .

Fernandinho is a huge upgrade and still seems to be improving with every game . The blokes a thoroughbred and is a proper all round midfielder not just a one dimensional hatchet man .

He'll always be a city cult hero but personally I wouldn't want him back here.

However letting him go for 3.5 million (I know his contract was running down) and Garcia replacing him for 16 million wasn't the greatest bit of business.....

Think we lost multiple games at both Villa Park and SoL with NDJ in the team.

He was never even on Barry's level, never mind Fernandinho's.

Yes,I'm sorry he's a tug boat and worse than Barry.....he was carried by the other 10 to a World Cup Final....I see it now.

Certainly very, very lucky not to leave his team with 10 in that final.

Did a good job for us at the time but not even close to Fernandinhos level as a player.

Yep ,that's about right , where his only memorable contribution was to commit an assault that soured the whole occasion and traumatised his own teammates , well that's what the Dutch coach said anyway .....edited to add....fucking liability.

 

[totalfootball]

de jong provides absolutely nothing in attack. he's also slower than fernandinho.

i've seen fernandinho running through the midfield so many times, the guy is so quick, i bet he's faster than toure. i think fernandinho wasn't only signed to play with toure but to replace him when he's injured or playing at the african cup of nations.
