Fernandinho

What strikes me is how quickly he has picked up the English language.

I agree, already doing interviews in english whereas the likes of silva still wont do them.

True but we can forgive Silva for that :). Great attitude to make this move work and hopefully he is rewarded with a Premier League winners medal and a World Cup place with Brazil.

Hope some of those posters earlier in the thread are now hanging their heads in shame. Quite a few knew we had bought quality, especially DeNiro and ducado, but lots of others were putting Fellaini ahead of Ferny. He is absolute quality.

Had a glimpse at a few comments from the caf before and there are few on there admitting Fernie is better value than the human microphone.

I think we have underpaid for him. Bargain!

Can't believe that cretin Sandro is preferred by big Phil! Sandro also calls himself the beast! There can be only one and he No 9 for the blues!

Great performance today and really pleased to see him score. He should have been allowed to take the penalty at the end for the hat trick.

Did he not speak it before he came?

Have you altered your opinion of him yet?

A basic understanding. He's been taking English lessons.

I am delighted to say that he has quelled all my doubts.

Thought he might have had that effect on you:)

He is surpassing expectation I think,a superb player and man.
