Fernandinho

[01Bluefan]

This player is right up there with your Iniestas and Xavis, top top quality player

Iniesta may be slightly better, but he his top quality though.

He will be the best CM in the league next season, when hes up to full fitness you'll see how much of a driving force in the team he'll be.

first couple of months will be difficult,been playing in the ukraine for 8 years,a huge culture shock....hopefully he will adjust

It's possible but he played superbly at a very high and difficult level against Chelsea, Dortmund and Juve last season in Europe. The pace against Dortmund was frantic too at times.

anyone know why this guy never gets into the national team? was always great when I saw him in Europe for Shakhtar and is already looking like he'll be good here as well..his position isn't one that's had a ton of competition in Brazil either so is a bit strange to me, hope he makes enough of an impact to at least put him in the conversation to take Paulinho's spot at next world cup (winning the treble should do it :) )

Nobody in the selection team gives a duck about the Ukrainian league that's why. Hulk was a (massively overrated) star before going to Russia that's why he's still taken. If they bothered to watch his performances, they'd have kicked him out of the national team long ago. Coming back to Fernandinho, he is way better than Paulinho is ever going to be. The only problem is his age, he is not going to have any resale value for us. Hopefully he lasts at least 4 years.

him and yaya are going to boss it this coming season.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

One of the most exciting signing in recent transfer.



Can't wait.

Just wait till Joleoninho teaches him some of his own silky Brazilian skills - Ferny will be a show stopper. Mind, I was expecting a couple of hat-tricks from those two African games.

The Brazilian National Team didnt pay too much attention to the Ukraine and other smaller leagues. One of the reasons he joined was for the bigger profile at a big club with a lot of exposure.
