Now, stop if you’ve heard this one before. Some of you will already know the talents of this lad so by all means rush to the comments section to tell me otherwise, but having wandered onto Youtube and seen his talents (search for his name and CL highlights), Fernando Reges is a new choice for me for a summer signing.
As far as I’m aware, and again tell me if I’m wrong, he’s under contract until June 2014 and his market value is about £12.5 million.
He plays roughly in the CDM position of a 4-3-3 at Porto and in my opinion he’d fit perfectly into our 4-3-3.
Pro’s:
He’s only about to turn 24
He’s 6 foot
He’s got great pace
He’s got such long legs, they call him Octopus
He’s Brazilian
He’s played under AvB before
He’s had CL experience
Essien is injured…
Con’s:
Could cost more than valuation
Do we need another CDM type player
He’s been out of the Brazilian national sides for over 3 years
Any more, let me know. Otherwise, please check out his CL youtube video, it’s pretty thorough. It’s not just a couple of impressive moments, there’s great tackling, awareness and positioning all over the shop.
