Fernandinho

[dobingsdobber]

The test for Fernandinho, as for the team as a whole, is against top level opposition. He has looked unconvincing in the prem so far and last night we were playing a championship level team.

If he puts in a good performance on Sunday, I'll be more inclined to believe he has some genuine class. By which I mean, he is capable of being one of the best DMs in the premiership, which is what should be expected given what he cost. So far, he has looked distinctly average against better teams than Pizen, but then so has the team as a whole.

Job done last night. But for me the jury's still out.

Same here,can't see what all the fuss is about,very ordinary so far.

If you can't see fernandinhos class and how much good he adds to the team then your fucking blind

You will see the best of him now Vinnie is back, this will also release Yaya to get further upfield as he wont have to protect 2 dodgy centrebacks.

Good point but we are to reliant on Vinnie, keep saying it, we should have bought a top class CH.

I must be then, because he's added nothing at all from what I've seen so far. We look less effective in midfield than at any time in the past three seasons.

Without a doubt, especially with Kolo gone I assumed wrongly that a top replacement was going to be obvious. Especially knowing that Komps has quite a few injuries a season.

With regards to Fernandinho not seen anything special but very early days

And you son should have gone to specsavers. Flopinho is having a mare right now and however tinted your glasses are you must be able to see that

For 30 million you would hope to buy a player as good as an auguero, silva or ya ya.

To date he has been compared to gelson Fernandez by many as he has not stood out much and we paid such a huge fee. It does seem a huge amount of money especially when you consider his age but when I saw him play against Chelsea last year he was the best player on the pitch by a mile.

I am hopeful he will come good.

In 2013? Not really. About 13 or 14 players moved for around £30million (or deals that can reach £30million) this summer, including Illarramendi from Sociedad to Madrid who they paid £30million for potential as much as anything. A good central midfielder will demand a premium now too, good playmakers/attacking midfielders seem more common. The market is inflated and £30million isn't what it was even a few years ago now, since revenues are skyrocketing for top clubs.
