While I appreciate Redknapp and the Mail aren't the most popular on here.......
This was from June and spot on by Jnr Twitcher.
Why £34m Fernandinho is already the signing of the summer
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fernandinho is a sensational capture for Manchester City. He could be the best midfielder in the Barclays Premier League next season
They needed more power in midfield, having been over-reliant on Yaya Toure. Both Gareth Barry and Javier Garcia are too one-paced.
Fernandinho can become a monster. His stand-out Champions League performances for Shakhtar Donetsk suggest he will be a weapon in the Premier League once he comes to terms with the increased fitness demands.
He is an expensive investment for a player who has just turned 28. His fee and salary is believed to be costing £30million but it’s not as if City are hard up.
Full name Fernando Luiz Rosa (Fernandinho means little Fernando) he is thin up top but his power comes from his thighs and he covers the ground at speed.
There is nothing worse as a midfield player than a rival who runs at you. It takes you out of your comfort zone.
We pigeon-hole midfielders into what they can and can’t do. This Brazilian can do the lot. He can play one-twos at real pace, drive at opponents, tackle, intercept, win the ball and set up a breakaway. He is what City have been missing.
