Fernandes Inks Up with Inter

Jose Mourinho has taken in Valencia's Manuel Fernandes for an undisclosed fee.  Fernandes said he had spoken to Quaresma about the club, and is happy to be joining the Nerrazurri.  Manuel  also said, "I also spoke to Mourinho on Friday. It's a dream to be coached by him."

An interesting signing this is...Surely the Portuguese international will not get the playing time he was supposedly seeking on his way out of Valencia.  It will be hard to make the World Cup squad with the likes of Zanetti, Sneijder, and even Cambiasso standing in the way of a starting spot in that midfield.  Perhaps Valencia was seeing him off due to the "situations" he and fellow countryman Miguel had been getting themselves into over the years there.  Fernandes scored 2 goals for "Los Che" during his time in Spain.  This season he appeared in only 6 games for Valencia, starting once.
