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?

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.

Someone who actually did watch the game and did know who Fernandinho was prior to July 2013...... Cheers.

fernandinho was excellent vs plzen. he was doing the holding job while toure was doing the attacking.

when fernandinho wins the ball he can immediately initiate a counter attack, whereas when barry or garcia won the ball they'd just slow down the game and let the opposition park the bus.

i can see us winning vs bayern munich. we will hit them on the break with jesus navas, aguero and dzeko upfront. i cant wait.

He had a great game on Tuesday night.

As a fan watching your team live (either at the game or on TV)) you to are too 'in to it' and tend to concentrate on where the action is.

I got to see the game after work yesterday, already knowing the result, I could relax and see other things going on in the game.

Fernandinho played a blinder. His positional awareness is great,, especially when covering the defenders who were out of position having gone forward/lost possesion. Also he appeared to win everything in the air. A few of his passes missed the mark but this will improve as he begins to understand his new team mates better.

Still dont see why we paid €40m for him

We didn't.

Did.

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.

Yes that's the number Shakhtar announced but because Fernandinho put in a transfer request he had to give up money owed to him which Shakhtar added to the sale price. Which technically would be true as to how much they recieved to sell him but not what we actually paid for him.

Am I bad for thinking (aside from the newcastle game) he's done absolutely nothing?
