Apparently Chelsea have not received a bid or spoken to City about Fernandez.
I personally still think it happens.

Lot of reports, bid expected yesterday. Wouldn't surprise me if Citeh are leaking with no intention of bidding, just to waste our time.
Really hope they bid and he goes, though. He was pretty useless when paired with Caicedo in the past, and he isn't getting into the team as a starting 10.

Agree, Melbourne.

I also agree, Melbourne. Whilst EF looked great in the Champions' League, and despite scoring a lot of goals for us last season, he generally looked a bit off the pace to my eyes in the middle of the park in PL games.

I made my position clear on EF last season when he said and his agent said he wanted to leave. We had about 10/12 games of the season left, and he is our vice captain.
My view was, and is, he should never play for the club again.
Unlike some, I rate him as a player, but players who want to leave can go, as far as I'm concerned. Thanks and goodbye.
