EFC David
Player Valuation: £30m
Him and McCarthy were are main CM targets this summer, we agreed a fee and got a work permit but couldn't sell Felli sooner and Porto pulled the plug on the deal, or asked for more money in the end, I cant remember exactly what I was told, so ended up pushing through a loan deal for Barry, which didn't turn out too bad did it!.
But Fernando is quality, 26, 27 years old, DM'r but very classy on the ball. Remember seeing a Europa league game between Porto and City at the Etihad 2/3 years ago and he dominated Yaya Toure that night and that got me hooked. Seen Porto 2 or 3 other times in CL and things and he's always played well. He gets stuck in but not by flying in with slide tackles, but can put a foot in, nick the ball and then as a great eye for a pass to get the team moving.
Would love it if Martinez still wanted him and went in for him either this month or in the summer for free.
Did they not lose 4-0?
