Still don't get why this bloke would be a replacement for Fernandinho, in any area of the game & why we would require something different to Fernandinho.
Surely a new, younger Fernadninho who is a better Fernandinho than the old one, is what we want ?
Surely we can find someone closer to Fern than this guy ?

I personally think delph could do a job there in the whatsit cup and lesser teams in the fa cup also dead rubbers in europe ,give ferna a break,however moving forward we want someone who will try and relegate ferna to a squad player, someone who can do the job ferna does so well but better.
ive not seen enough of weigel to warrant any opinion on him,i would like verratti most probably impossible, but if psg come calling for Sergio and Sergio is still unhappy? then why not try and do a deal

I’m sure Pep will move for Wiegl in the summer - he’s a big fan and it’s the key position for him. I’m not saying it’ll happen but I’m sure we’ll try.

Quite poorly, only 6 games as a starter, including meaningless cup games. Not showing anything special so far, can't see him playing for City.How's he getting on at girona?

I think Pep sees more Busquets in Weigl than Fernandinho.

Neil Pointon like!You really don't "need" pace to be a holding midfielder in England, just another random myth pedalled by the "England is special" brigade. Eric Dier is shit slow but got rave reviews, Matic never had much pace and has been the key player in two title winning sides, Gareth Barry is as slow as it gets and was fantastic for us. You might need pace to play the Kante style of chasing the ball like a dog but actual holding midfielders have always been about being intelligent rather than fast.

Maybe Mikel Merino from Newcastle. If they go down he's one I'd expect to stay in the Premier League (or move back to Germany or Spain).Personally I think Pep will pull some bizarre relatively unknown player out of his arse to replace Fern.
Most of us will be thinking... Really? And it'll be another stroke of genius.
Young enough to bide his time behind Fernandinho for the time being, could be perfect for a fraction of the price of a Weigl or a Diawara.

Promising prospect, but he's on loan from Dortmund, I'm afraid.Maybe Mikel Merino from Newcastle. If they go down he's one I'd expect to stay in the Premier League (or move back to Germany or Spain).

He is, but joins permanently for €7m after he makes 20 appearances, and barring any more big injuries that should go through, then if they go down I'm sure they'd take a quick profit, double or treble what they pay would still be a snip.Promising prospect, but he's on loan from Dortmund, I'm afraid.

Not sure Pep is looking for a cheaper option to Wiegl. I think he wants the real deal and I wouldn’t be surprised to see us pay big to (try to) get him.

This would be a typical pep signing. Not the finished product but plenty of talent to work with.

Shame. I thought he'd have a chance of making it over there...

80% of the time he plays “left back” he is actually playing left midfield, because you can count on one finger the teams that have actually played a real right winger against us!I don't think he has even played in midfield often enough for us to make this kind of judgement.
Oh well, why bother? He is NOT going to be our CM anytime soon, unless we have the level of injury problems that would cause more serious problems!

Like that! Might nick it!Weigl is great as a passer and builder, but Fernandinho works is ass too. That position needs a mind of a CEO and the working mentality of a plumber.

They actually already activated it in October. Fully a Newcastle player now.He is, but joins permanently for €7m after he makes 20 appearances, and barring any more big injuries that should go through, then if they go down I'm sure they'd take a quick profit, double or treble what they pay would still be a snip.
