I can kinda see Ade's point.
He had, say a four year deal at City on stupid wages, but those wages were guaranteeing his charidee 50k per week for those 4 years. Ade finds himself leaving after 2 and his charidee stands to lose 2 years worth of 50k per week.
Ade knows that no other club would agree to that sort of wage but sees it that City are spunking cash left, right and centre, so why shouldn't they honour their commitment to his charity.
In a way, I don't blame him.
As for us sitting outside the sweetshop and letting the rich kids shoot their loads first?
It wouldn't be the first time that has been rumoured to be the case and it would make sense. All the fat kids do is drive the prices up for the rest of us.
He scored their goal in the 1-1 home game.Didnt Fernandinho play against us in the Europa a few years ago? if its the same guy im thinking of , he was decent enough!
Ha ha you twatheadYou set 'em up, I deliver...
I'd love us to sign these two, especially WILL.I.AN. Only thing that makes me scratch my head is...wouldn't he be on oil inflated, high wages at Shakhtar?
He obviously never watched the 40 Year Old Virgin then.Levy sounds determined to get a Brazilian this window eh
Not so sure, Willian went there as an 18 year old for 12m with not much football under his belt on a 5 year contract. I pressume he's renewed that since but it's possible he's not on a kings ransom. The other lad is a little older but not as well known so may not be too expensive. I'd think we'd struggle to get a work permit for Fernandinho due to his lack of Brazil internationals - Willian may also be a struggle.

Brazil play about 1000 games each year because of their contract with Nike. Every Tom, Dick and Carlos seems to get a game for them.Fernandinho has had 5 senior caps in the last year.

The thing is under the points- based system, the ultimate arbiter as to who gets a Tier 2 WP is the now the FA and not the Govt.Not so sure, Willian went there as an 18 year old for 12m with not much football under his belt on a 5 year contract.

I do think it's positive we're looking at these types of players though, both have technical ability and creative/attacking flair which is something we've been lacking a bit in midfield for a while.
If it's Russia, not much help wrt EU movement. More likely to have some vague Portuguese/other Euro acenstry which could help. Besides which, I doubt either would have to worry. They'd get shuffled through the hearing.If they've been in Europe for a while, might they have dual nationality via naturalisation?
