It will help that we already have a large Brazilian and Portuguese speaking contingent in the team.
Did not read the entire thread but since i bet someone will say "why Brazilians named Fred these days"; his name is Frederico Rodrigues Santos and Fred obviously is a nick.
In addition to the fact we're on course to finish up for them for the sixth time in seven seasons. Head and shoulders above for the rags imo.
Fred, Weigl & Fabinho seem to be the three main options for another CDM this summer
My only worry with Fred is that he is genuinely tiny. He's down as 169cm - 5 ft6 in most places, or 174 on wiki ( 5ft8)
Fernandinho isn't a giant but he is 3-4 inches taller than that, and he does get through a fair amount of defensive headers in midfield with teams often going long against us. It's an integral part of that job he does at the base of midfield.
If that's not an issue then I'm all for him, technically he's brilliant and was superb against us.
