Hate these. Ifs and ifs. Im sure Maximin would have double figures in assists if Fernandes, De Bruyne, Odegaard and Kane was at the end of his passes.

Which is fair enough if that's what we're talking about. Since Fernandes joined the league though, more goal involvements than De Bruyne. Per 90 I've no idea, but would imagine it's mighty close. Not sure what the issues were with the stats above were either. They were black and white. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antony does have 15 goal involvements himself this season. I'd give him more a bit more time than one season though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 As much as I hate is on pitch behaviour and histrionics ability alone I think he’d be brilliant for Newcastle United. He’s very good.

Chicken Dancer Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 He's a great player Fernandes - proper bellend though. He is nowhere near the level of player of De Bruyne, who is the best player in the league. No amount of stats will change that imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're including seasons before only De Bruyne is even close to him. I'm fairly sure that Fernandes has more goal involvements than anyone except Messi in the top five leagues since he came into the league. I just don't think people understand how good his numbers are. It's something like 120 G+A in 200 games. I think it's a fair argument to say that if Fernandes had Haaland up top as well that he would have significantly more assists. That isn't me saying Fernandes is better than De Bruyne BTW. All statistics are made up - 72.3% of the population knows that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Fernandes is a cracking player. I think he’s hampered a little by what’s around him at Man U and a lot by what’s around him for Portugal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Qataris are clearing the debt and updating the stadium the total cost to them could be much higher? As said before it costs them nothing and pays them a handsome return.

Nice way for them to get a credible valuation for the club which they can use as leverage in refinancing negotiations with the commercial / investment banks. Just to follow this up: Principal debt in March 2023 was £535.7m. Whether floating or fixed at the current time, the rising interest rate environment runs the risk of them being faced to pay a lot more for their interest payments. Similar to us and our mortgages, increased value of the security potentially allows them to take a decent chunk of basis points off the loan. On half a billion over a five year tenor, that’s a chunky amount saved potentially. Plus they can just put ‘cost of sale’ expenses through the club’s P&L and end up spending nothing themselves. They’re absolute wrong uns and Ferguson sat next to that ugly cunt at the cup final must be a slap in the face to the fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
