Apparently Fernando is being brought in with mainly the Champions league in mind, expect him to be starting all the Champs league games next year and be a bit "in and out" in the league and cups (so don't whack him in your fantasy footy team too hastily).
The general belief is Fernando is our number 1 target this season (odd i know) but Pellegrini reckons our midfield to have been too tame last season, especially so in Europe and has identified Fernando as the man he believes we are crucially missing in our quest to go further in the UCL.
He sounds like a proper Nigel De Jong-esk beast and i certainly welcome that kind of player with open arms. Nothing like a good tackle to rally the crowd in the big games and derbies!
Looking forward to this one hitting the OS.
This is no slagging of you, just curiosity. When you say apparently and the general belief, are you going on what you've read or something you've heard?

"In my career so far it's the most important goal. You score the goal in the last minute to win the title. You're not sure if that's ever going to happen in your career again. I wish I could tell you how I did it but I can't. I thought for all the world that Mario was going to have a go himself but he just moved it on one more and it fell at my feet and I just thought: 'Hit the target, hit it as hard as you can and hit the target.' And it went in."
