He's a decent enough CB, bit of an old fashioned brick shithouse centre half, too slow for us but should do ok in the right team. Best of luck imo.

Sevilla are being linked with a move for Brazilian centre back Jemerson de Jesus according to certain sections of the Brazilian press.

This rumoured interest hasn’t been confirmed by Spanish sources as here they continue to believe Fazio is Sevilla's primary target. #COYS

Would that brick wall be called Daniel by any chance lol.

Could well be that players get far too well paid in the Premier league. Only the top European sides can afford to match them unfortunately. No idea what Faz is on now, but you can bet it was substantially more than he was getting at Sevilla when we bought him.

We really need to shift him and either promote CCV or get in another CB. Disappointing how quiet things have gone in terms of him leaving.

Watched the Barcelona training video on the official site. He didn't make that trip and he hasn't been in any U21 lineup. So he's either gone or he's being forced into taking a pay cut by completely excluding him from the club.

I'm not a big fan of Fazio. In fact I wonder which members of the scouting staff thought he'd do well here. Having said that, surely we can post his name correctly in this forum? It's only polite. His first name is 'Federico' - not 'Frederico'. Can someone fix this? Please.

I wonder if we may decide to hang onto him now that Verts is injured.
Not really much help, as we're missing a Left sided CB, and with Fazio's turning circle you don't really want him on the wrong side. Dier plays right side too, but is a tad more agile, and after his stint in CM should be more adept at playing LCB.

Wimmer is quality though, so no issue (as long as he stays fit...)

Can't Davies play LCB as well ? Think he played there on occasion for Swansea.

I'm still of the opinion that he isn't even half as bad as many people seem to think.
People that can't get past the opinion that speed is the most important trait in a footballer.
I'm not suggesting he should be starting games, but I also wouldn't be too concerned if he got some game time.
