Fernandinho is vastly over rated on this forum.
Probably overworked. His pairing with Yaya made a ton of ground for him to cover.
He will. Pep likes him way too much not to give him lots of game time. He'll be the pivot most of the time Gundogan isn't.
Where? He may start slightly more than his namesake Fernando
Think it's a bit unrealistic to think that hg is not part of the attraction.People keep going on about the h/g thing as if it's actually a big thing. It isn't. He isn't being bought because he's homegrown, he's being bought because Pep thinks he is the best player available for him in that position this summer.
Pep clearly wants a full squad next season so we have to have four hg players.
Whereas we don't need them in any specific position it looks like Walker may well be the best player available.
The only players who have looked better to me recently in an England shirt either belong to us or are called Alli or Kane.
This is not to say Pep doesn't rate him, just that I suspect hg is part of the attraction and probably a reason why we will pay a premium price.

We've been over this already. It was nothing, and the fanny even apologised soon after. I'd have preferred it if he didn't apologise for it tbh!Did Walker not slag us off one year, it may have been the year we won the league
Guardiola has bought badly in the past for those suggesting Walker must be OK because Pep thinks so. Ever heard of wisdom of crowds?
When the world's most expensive RB's distribution is seen for what it is there will be plenty of groaning on here.
Wisdom of crowds? WTF? I remember Ian Bowyer, Google him and how our 'wise' fans treated him...

Well said Levets!
Wisdom of crowds may apply to individuals being solicited for an opinion independently and possibly better when they back it with money.Guardiola has bought badly in the past for those suggesting Walker must be OK because Pep thinks so. Ever heard of wisdom of crowds?
.
People responding on a forum more often exhibit groupthink.
I wasn't talking about the wisdom of a football stadium's crowd. The theory is that when a thousand people estimate the weight of a Bull and the total averaged they are much more accurate than any individual expert. This is seen most commonly at the racetrack. No individual pundit is ever more accurate than the crowd over time.
Yes but the point is that it is applicable in some scenarios and not others.I wasn't talking about the wisdom of a football stadium's crowd.

Responses on a football fans forum are not independent of each other and more often represent group think than the wisdom of crowds.
