Think we did but can't see where he fits in with us already having gundogan kdb and the 2 silva's don't think there is anything in this.This is a new rumour...have we had any links to this guy?

Pep is ready to splash out £35m to sign a third Monaco player after Silva and Mendy, with Thomas Lemar (21) in his sights. [Sunday Express]
Agreed.
Monaco away showed why Fernandinho cannot be a lone holding midfield player.
In a two yes, but as a 1 in a 4-3-3, not for me.
He gets drawn out to intercept 50-50s and good players get in behind him. One of the biggest reasons why our defence looks so ragged. I collected a load of videos from season before last and posted on here. They were all goals we conceded where he was at fault without obviously being at fault. If that makes sense.Agreed.

We played cannon fodder though. Good teams expose us when he's the midfielder responsible for defensive discipline.Did you watch the first 10 games of last season, mate?

Cannon fodder like United at Old Trafford?
He was our best player before xmas.
I think you've fallen for the trap a lot of England fans did where they judged Gareth Barry's whole career on his performance against Germany in the world cup. You're judging Fernandinho based on his performance at Stamford Bridge when he was doing two midfielders jobs and covering the hapless Navas at right back.
And you're probably judging him because his name and appearance are similar to Fernando's ;-)
Dinho was poor in midfield this season.. Hence why despite all the praise Pep poured on him at the start of the season Yaya took his place and never gave it back
