Can't find anything to back that up. Surprised his name hasn't been mentioned more given his previous links with Sven.

Bezzanator89 Posted 22 July 2011 Posted 22 July 2011 Fernandes signed for Manchester City from Sion on 14 July 2007 for an undisclosed fee, believed to be around €6 million (£4.2 million), which would make his sale the second highest transfer in the history of the Swiss League.[citation needed] Following his signing, Sven-Göran Eriksson commented that he thought Fernandes was the "best young player in Switzerland." So another one that has worked under Sven... Also from his Wikipedia page (sorry all, but was intrigued to find out more about him.)
Nick Posted 22 July 2011 Posted 22 July 2011 So another one that has worked under Sven... Also from his Wikipedia page (sorry all, but was intrigued to find out more about him.) hmm another midfielder, interesting. Still think a big name will go if this happens - And I'm thinking King as well as Oakley and possibly Moussa..........
Happy Fox Posted 22 July 2011 Posted 22 July 2011 hmm another midfielder, interesting. Still think a big name will go if this happens - And I'm thinking King as well as Oakley and possibly Moussa.......... He is a defensive midfielder, If so Oakley will definitely leave, not King
FrankieADZ Posted 22 July 2011 Posted 22 July 2011 I wish we'd be linked with some more strikers <_< from what Ive seen of this lad, I think he isnt bad at all tho tbf
Happy Fox Posted 22 July 2011 Posted 22 July 2011 I wish we'd be linked with some more strikers <_< from what Ive seen of this lad, I think he isnt bad at all tho tbf We need a Claude Makelele type figure in our team based on last season evidence therefore Gelson Fernandes would provide this role, we will get a striker don't worry
Simo86 Posted 22 July 2011 Posted 22 July 2011 He gets into the Swiss starting XI. Would be a very good acquisition IMO
Ric Flair Posted 22 July 2011 Posted 22 July 2011 I would cum in me own gob if we got hold of this lad, genuine unadulterated quality is Fernandes.
Darkon84 Posted 22 July 2011 Posted 22 July 2011 Always felt this lad was underrated when he played in England before. This would be one HELL of a signing. Go get him Sven!
Ash Posted 22 July 2011 Posted 22 July 2011 If i remember rightly , very good footballer with great ability going forward and defending , but struggles with injuries?.....Would be a another good signing, but we already have Wellens and Yuki for defensive midfielders, surely dont need three?
Leicfox Posted 22 July 2011 Posted 22 July 2011 Man City fans view of Gelson. http://forums.bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=101951&sid=8001b29b6196e67f3502fedd006facff A tad harsh from the OP maybe??
dave_the_fox Posted 22 July 2011 Posted 22 July 2011 He's a machine. If we had him holding the midfield with Two of danns/king/wellens infront of him it would be awesome. Yuki will be first reserve for gelson, then add the moose to the other three as first reserve and jobs a good un!

Itsthejoeker Posted 22 July 2011 Posted 22 July 2011 I'd like to see Abe on the wing more, he was pretty good there last season So there'd be plenty of room for a defensive midfielder

foxes2011 Posted 22 July 2011 Posted 22 July 2011 id love this player ive seen him before and i think he is very versatile so can play in many possitions i hope this speculation is a correct one
Bettsy82 Posted 22 July 2011 Posted 22 July 2011 Reo coker over this guy all day long he was very average at Man City. Although didnt he score the winner against spain at the world cup, it was a screamer from all of two yardsif i remember rightly , no thanks sven !

Although didnt he score the winner against spain at the world cup, it was a screamer from all of two yardsif i remember rightly , no thanks sven ! I'm not being funny, but how can you not want this guy?! He is actually a great player, just because he looked 'average' at Man City doesn't mean he is rubbish. They were a high mid-table side at that time, we are a Championship side, unfortunately we can't actually sign people like Messi, Ronaldo etc... Therefore in my opinion he would be a brilliant signing.
