Agree the stat doesn't prove anything but it certainly is compelling.
He'd struggle to get in the top 4 prems midfields? LOL. He was one of the main men last year for a top 4 prem team. Errm, the Champions in fact.
Seem to recall he was in many peoples top 3 for Player of The Year last season as well. IMO worth every penny of his £30million.
The one txiki should take least stick for, along with Demichelis (although that was likely a Pellegrini player)
Totally Agree. 100%
Fernandinho was immense for us last season. A bit shaky after the Brazil World Cup disaster - but since mid November he has been one of our best players.
Completely agree. He was Yaya's foil. The reason that Toure was so successful last season (and thus, City were too) was because of the work that Fernandinho put in. People are waxing lyrical (commentators, pundits etc) about Matic this season and yet Fernandinho did exactly the same, if not a more impressive job of it last season. His 30million price tag was based upon his ability to immediately perform to a high level, which he errr clearly achieved. This season, post world cup, he hasn't been as fantastic and that is a shame. Still think he'll reach the same heights once again and we'll be laughing.
