Why didn't anyone come in for him, instead of us, If he's really that good? I don't see anyone sniffing around him at the moment, just the odd bullshit speculation.
Tackles alot better. Alright mate, in the Portuguese league yes, he's a dominant force. In a different League he's be like Pienaar, tenacious and he'll get stuck in but certainly not a 'good tackler'. But then, neither is Manuel Fernandes.
Works harder is the only thing I'll give you. Strength, pace and all round athleticism Manuel is superior. That's clear to see, Manny's upper body strength is very clear in those short clips of him. His strength and ability to shield the ball is fantastic.
In terms of ability they are both very talented, fact of the matter is you won't find many superior footballers to Fernandes. His technical ability and passing range is very high. I’d love you to find me any evidence of Moutinho doing the sort of things Fernandes does with the ball, I bet you can’t.
