Fernando

[BringBackSwales]

Very good footballer. He would be an ecellent signing.

Fairly similar to Fernandinho.

you mean his name?

Haha

Both are athletic, intelligent, energetic and look to move the ball forward as quickly as possible.

Maybe this explains why Garcia has not been playing.....

Garcia is injured pal (and tbf has done ok with his last few appearances, starting with when he came on at SJP)

Same guy that said we had a bid accepted for the other Porto player. Let's just wait and see...possibly a troll.

New De jong it is then...

In the words of Butch Wilkins: My word.

 

[Lomas has a lob on]

I know its a fairly common theme these days or the rules at least seem less strict but if Porto seem "pissed" with the player and City, aren't we surely guilty of blatant tapping up?

On another note has a fee been mentioned, soory if I've missed it.

In the last 6 months of your contract you are allowed to speak with other clubs.

Cheers, thanks to the other 6 million of you who reminded me of the free to talk rule. Dickhead!!! (me, not you lot).

 

[BringBackSwales]

so are we talking a pre contract here, and not joining until next season?

I understand there was a delay in him agreeing personal terms with us as we inserted a clause which states that he must sport this haircut (below) so that Manuel and the fans can differentiate between him and Fernandinho.

 

[Ducado]

Never heard of him but then again I had never heard of all of our Summer signings

 

[Blue Haze]

Absolutely chuffed if this comes off. He's a defensive type with plenty of skill and physicality.

Just what we need. Brilliant, brilliant business if we can do this. Txiki is playing a blinder.

 

[Bulldoglikeapproach]

Goncalo Lopes is very reliable for Portuguese league coverage.

Also just said this:
The agreement right now it's only between Fernando and City. FC Porto pissed with the player and City.

So have we chosen him over Mangala? Because I can't imagine they'll sell him now.

Also, he looks pretty big, could he also fill in at CB?
