Fernando

[thesilvalining]

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

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.

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


thank you

it wouldn't surprise me that we would, as he'd need one for his publicity shot and you can imagine they'd want some on display in the shop straight away. I would be surprised if we left his name lying about in full view several days before a signing was announced.

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.

Quick Google translate;

''Fernando returned or Brazil still no sign for City''.

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.

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?

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