Re: Fernando
A serious midfield beast.
Saw it in the 2 games he played for Porto against us a couple of seasons back.
Incredible player who will take our team to a different level.

Re: Fernando
I have to be honest I have hardly noticed him at all.
With Nigel we would see him absolutely cream one of the opposition's star players very early on and keep the ball moving.
With Gareth and his big fat arse we would see him foul on the halfway line but he would also get involved in the passing movements with Silva and Yaya and switch the play. It was an acknowledged fact on Bluemoon that if Barry played well, City played well.
We have also had comments so far on this thread about how Fernando has raced back into position and snuffed out danger; the sexy looking Javi always seemed to be in the right place at the right time in the first place.
Having said all of the above; I only ever notice Vinny when he drops a massive bollock like leaving Demichellis stranded against Messi at home and jumping in against Borini in the League Cup Final.
23 pages of posts saying one thing and me being blind just points to one conclusion.
We have signed the new Makalele on the cheap.

Re: Fernando
My first post here on the Manchester City forums - I live in USA but have been an avid Porto fan (my cultural background being Portuguese of course) as far as I can know. I have always rooted for MCFC because it was a team that was always shadowed by the "top four" until the takeover from the sheik.
I felt the need to finally sign up for the forum because of the transfers MCFC made this year.. by far the best acquisition for MCFC will be Fernando, judging by his performances in the previous games he will be as vital to MCFC as he was to FC Porto. Granted he was never in the spotlight nor ever seen as the $50million dollar signing.... but he brought such stability to our midfield that is felt even now. Don't expect him to make forward dart runs or the defense breaking pass every game, but he will give all he has to defend and patrol the back...
Also I have seen many people here talking about a pair at the back.... I disagree completely.... when he gets fully assimilated with his new team he NEEDS to be left alone in the DM position. In porto his best years were when we played him as the solo DM and 2 other more attacking mids. He was sometimes lost with 2 DMs because he was always used to covering the flank where the ball was or would be, with 2 DMs he was always in charge of one flank and attacking which didnt play to his strong points...
In comparison, Javi Garcia was probably the worst buy MCFC did, he is a glorified CB who has bricks for feet, fouls everything in sight, and no intensity while playing..... glad he is gone
Cheers from the other side of the atlantic and I hope to be a productive member here (I have knowledge of the full Portuguese league as well as most of the leagues where the Portuguese teams concentrate their scouting - S.America, lesser european countries etc, so I hope I can clarify any questions about players)
