zequist Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Something which wories me is he was great for us and no doubt he has talent but y didnt he make it at Valencia either he was shit or they have a very very good midfield! OR they didn't have a style of play that suited his strengths OR the old coach got sacked before Manny had completely settled in and gotten used to being there (which usually takes a while, no matter how talented a player is - look at how badly Tevez and Mascherano struggled at WHam the first half of last season), and the new coach for whatever reason wanted absolutely nothing to do with him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevO Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 the new coach at Valencia is the coach he didnt get on with at Benfica, Ronald Koeman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calico Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Yup. Koeman has been making changes at Valencia; the type of changes they have needed for a while and since he already felt that Fernandes had an attitude problem from his time at Benfica, it would seem that being arrested was the proverbial straw.... Fernandes is top quality and would most likely flourish in La Liga, it just so happened that it wasn't the right time for him to be at Valencia. It happens to some of the best footballers on the planet but doesn't mean they aren't good enough or don't suit the leagues style of play.

J*A*C*K*E*L*Z Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Three appearances in the Champions League for Valencia will preclude Fernandes from playing in the UEFA Cup from the daily post. An acctual slip up from our statO JD or the pappers info is ill reserched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 from the daily post. An acctual slip up from our statO JD or the pappers info is ill reserched. My money's on JD . Not let us down yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zequist Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 My money's on JD . Not let us down yet. Thanks for the vote of confidence! If he can't play for us, then it would have to be because of some technical wrinkle in the rules that I am not aware of - on the face of it the basic rule is pretty plain. As long as your former team is not and never was in the UEFA Cup that season, you can play in the UEFA Cup. I'll dig a little deeper and see if I missed something.

Josh Berno Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 (edited) Three appearances in the Champions League for Valencia will preclude Fernandes from playing in the UEFA Cup Yea ur right I read he has already played 3 games for Valencia in Champions League so no he cant play for us in U.E.F.A unless we can make a plea sum how.

Blue4Ever Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 (edited) I thought in the latter stages of the cup you can select 3 players to be added to the european squad, shows I know fuck all about the uefa rules haha its something like that on fm anyway. any chance getting the vid uploaded Steve?

The Boy Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 My money's on JD . Not let us down yet. And it would appear your Moneu is safe with JD too mate. Official site now says that there is a loop in the rules, which as JD said, "because he has not competed in the same competition for Valencia this season and the Spanish side is not involved in the Uefa Cup at the last 32 stage he can be named as our 25th player in the Uefa list. Well done JD top work fella! And what a great bit of news!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ynox Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Anyone knows how much Manny would cost us in the summer if we decide to buy him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Have seen an article in a paper quoting 12 million, but if i know DM he will fart about for so long and only want to pay 10m, then someone else will come in for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
