We have seen little bits of his attacking play but he's still partially in his shell & a bit nervous/indecisive in the final 3rd imo (as his comedy goal attempt showed).
Great player who will get better.
Did you notice that Yaya and several others worked hard to try to get him scoring chances when we were up by 5? I figured they wanted to give him a highlight to show the national team. Says a lot though, doesn't it?<br /><br />-- Tue Nov 26, 2013 9:41 am --<br /><br />Neville Kneville said:More to come from him.

Mirrors our best away performance so far this year when we partnered him with Garcia against Chelsea and pushed Yaya a bit forward. Granted, we lost but that was little to do with the three in midfield.feedmpenzaandhewillscore said:Neville Kneville said:More to come from him.

How do you think he would have faired playing next to Barry and pushing yaya further up the pitch? Might have solved our wobbles on the road
Good shout. I don't know what the outcome of that would have been but the same thought crossed my mind only yesterday.feedmpenzaandhewillscore said:Neville Kneville said:More to come from him.

Mike D said:Out of all the players we brought I thought he would have been a dud, but happy to admit I was wrong. Has a lot more to his game than the lump up front and he's ruthless in front of goal. There was some comparison when spuds bought Paulinho and Selgado and we got Fernandinho and Negrado. I don't think anyone could argue that its Negrado has come out on top of the strikers but unfortunately we got well and truly bummed when we spunked £30mil on Flopinho

And who can forget blightee, who only ever posted on Bluemoon to trash Fernandinho?

The sad thing is, next time we sign a player and he isn't five stars after two weeks, it'll be exactly the same.
(And Fernandinho wasn't even bad for us from the very start, he had a couple of dodgy games along with many others. I think WhoScored's ratings of him are pretty accurate: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.whoscored.com/Players/19119/Fixtures/Fernandinho" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.whoscored.com/Players/19119/ ... ernandinho</a> - they have him as the 10th best player in the league so far this season, BTW)
