Fernandes gives me the impression that he could step up and produce similar numbers in the PL. I just think he has the tenacity to his game where he wouldn’t be put off in a more physical league. In fact, I think he might thrive in it like Bernardo Silva.
His numbers are too good to ignore, and there is a low bar at the moment for what a number 10 is providing at Old Trafford.
For the prices being quoted, it makes a lot of sense to me.
It’s funny sometimes, that on this forum, the closer we get to signing a player, the more people grow cold on them. Whereas the most hyped players are often those that there are no connections or visible links to at all.
Fernandes can come in for a reasonable price and push the team forward right now. He has great stats, is versatile and is still young enough to continue to improve as a player.
My only concern would be that in 2 years, he will be 3 years away from 30, and therefore completely useless!
He is my pick, in spite of that!
