Oh my god

 

[Rammyblues]

Do he track back?

 

[waspish]

Don't understand this? Have Porto changed the goal posts? Has his agent? Or are city?

Apparently the "complications" is a dispute between Porto and Fernando about loyalty bonus. City and Porto have agreed terms, this is what I have read couple of days back.

Whys he not allowed to play for Portugal but thiago motta is allowed to play for Italy despite having 2 caps for Brazil? Seems a bit unfair to me

Because Motta possesses dual nationality – his paternal grandfather is Italian.

FIFA granted players to have one chance to change their representing nation if they had dual nationality, but not for players who have already played in a competitive "A" match (non-friendly)

Fernando played a competitive match (or matches?) for Brazil before he applied for Portuguese nationality. So fair has nothing to do with it, it's the rules.

Fernando played for the u20s though, which he didn't receive a cap for. Motta received 2 caps for Brazil before playing for Italy

what's the chances of that being FERNANDinhO folded up, a bit like Zabalateta's done for Bale?

The size of the lettering would be smaller for the longer name.

The 'O' is seperate from the rest of the letters.

I disagree the O is in the correct position.

Guys, sorry to ask a silly question but why would be be printing his name on shirts before we announced his signing?


thank you

Some fans like to have the shirts as soon as the players sign. The templates are made to make the printing process quicker.

Were not printing his name on shirts.
That photo quite simply shows we have stock of his name ready to print on shirts once the signing is confirmed.

Perhaps some fans got a bit ahead of themselves too, and asked for his name on a new shirt. They'll print anything you ask (within reason) will they not?

Thanks for the replies to my question guys...... ;)

Maybe there has been some progress with Mangala and the Fernando deal has been put on hold.

I think Fernando and Mangala will be 2 different deals(if we do sign Managla) but for Fernando to return to Brazil....this thing must not even be close......sounds more like a deadlock to me!

I read somewhere that Mangala has joint ownership. If Porto were to do a deal that involved Fernando we could pay more for him and less for Mangala so Porto get more. That's why a deal for both has been on the cards.

Nothing to do with Mangala (whose future won't be settled till after the World Cup and even then it's not just a fee with Porto that has to be agreed, the player has to be convinced), it's some payment dispute.

It'd help if someone who could read Portuguese well could translate that article (<a class="postlink" href="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BqKrlZyCQAA71GA.jpg:large" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BqKrlZyCQAA71GA.jpg:large</a>) because the online version is behind a pay wall. However, the deal still seems most likely to go through once it's sorted, the player probably just got sick of sitting around waiting for suits to sort out details so went back to his holidays (which he had cut short to sign for City). He'll probably be on the first plane over when it's sorted.

I've looked to see if I could find the English vision of the report but cant find it....doesn't O Jogo normally release his reports in English as well???

My God,the flappers are once again out in force.Knicker wetting for no apparent reason. Fernando has decided he may as well go back on his hols whilst the dispute with his Club takes its course.

It's never easy with City is it? Looks like a lot of people, to paraphrase Tobias Funke, 'Prematurely shot their wad and have something of a mess on their hands'.

If we are still ironing out clauses in his contract....(no matter how small they are), they are not as close to deal as everyone thinks/reporting....a deal isn't done until its done......so in this case we are as close to signing him today as we were in Jan........if that makes me a "flapper" then I'm happy to start a "flapper supporters club".......as a new boy to the site. I never did understand the issue with being called a flapper.....I'm passionate about my club and want us to win, so if emotions get the best of us now and again......whats the big deal.....but will always respect other peoples views mate....no matter what they are........

 

[El Mago]

i think its the usual 3rd party problem.

Well, to be fair, his own agent said the deal would be done by the end of the week. It just looks like details that will eventually be ironed out, especially as Fernando has no apparent will to stay at Porto and cut short his own holiday to try and rush through a deal.
