Fernandinho

[FantasyIreland]

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.

What was his teams formation? what position did he play? and what did he do particularly well that day?

No idea, in the middle somewhere, he just played well.

He scored a good goal, his first touch control overall was poor, but had good pace and quick, he missed a defencive header from a corner that lead to Chelskis goal.

How many players in his position are better then him?

Very few in my opinion.

On 6 June, FC Shakhtar and Manchester City reached an agreement regarding the transfer of the Pitmen’s midfielder Fernandinho to the English club. The Citizens signed the Brazilian for 40 million euros.

Still dont see why we paid €40m for him

when tevez signed the media stated the fee was £47m , but this included the £20m signing on fee paid over the length of his contract , so fernandinho probably actually cost £20m plus other fees etc. The media and sky like to double our transfer fees , so when we play teams like viktoria plzen who cost £2m or wigan athletic who cost 5 pence , they can compare it against the team we fielded that cost £250m , its just another stick the rag media can beat us with , its getting quite tedious now.

It wasn't the media that reported how much we paid for him it was the selling club (Shakhtar) on their own website. People keep saying that they did that to appease the fans... I call BS on that, take your blue tinted glasses off... this is what we paid for him and it will be confirmed in the official financial reports at the end of the season anyway. If you chose to cling onto this fantasy that we made some kind of arrangement with Shakhtar, allowing them to publically state that we paid them €40m just so their fans are happy then you're quite honestly delusional imho. And by way they clearly say that this is what we paid *to them* ... so this does not include his wages.

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

No, just not a time traveller that's popped into the future to see him show his class like you, so far he's looked miserable and average at best.

His passing was more accurate than a finger that hits "," when it aimed for "m", Fernandinho would probably hit "q".
