Guy's Kristof Terreur Belguim Journalist who is based in England as he follows all the Belgian lads here and writes for Belguim's main paper he is very reliable when it comes to Belguian players was first to report Chadli to Spurs and kept Chelsea fans in the loop with what was happening with De Bruyne, Has said we are close to a deal for Fellaini he is throughly reliable so looks like we are getting Fellaini.

And I for one will be very happy. Katef

I think he would be a good signing.

I hope not I don't think he's any better than what we've already got and I would rather see youngsters like larnell cole get a chance I know larnell ain't the biggest but he looks like he could be a good little playmaker given a chance

Fellaini would be a good acquisition as long as Moyes plays him as a defensive MF. Time to bring some of the youth through; Lingard, Januzaj, Zaha etc

Apparently Fellani has been in the bars of Manchester telling everyone he's going to sign for united.

Always said he'd be good for us. Tall, great in the air, can pass, tackle.
He wil add a physical and arial threat which we lack

Was inevitable really. Linked with Fabregas, Ronaldo, Modric, but end up with the wig.

8.) 07 Aug 2013
Great. More depth, not a guaranteed starter though, which is what we need.

9.) 07 Aug 2013
Decent player but the real test is would Bayern, Real, Barcelona or even Chelsea want him!

10.) 07 Aug 2013
I wouldn't be happy about this at all!i don't think Feilaini is near good enough!hes big nn strong but he can't pass a ball for peanuts!i mean he's not the type of player to sit in midfield and
spread passes and play technical football!hes very slow and to be honest he fouls more players than he does win the ball cleanly!he just doesn't suit our style of play!what we have is better!the only reason why people keep linking feilaini with us is because Moyes was Everton mgr!I have said this before if we buy the likes of him, we smell of desparation!it would be like buying Andy Carroll and sticking him in midfield!

Fellini will defo not be signing for man united. He lives in the Manchester area and is often seen out and about in the city centre. Just before he flew out to the USA with everton he was asked whilst shopping in the city centre with Kevin mirrillas and his wife if he would be joining by a united fan in a shirt and said no. Thing change, but to me he seemed pretty sure!

I understand people not liking this, with the players we were being link to. Defence mid-field player is what we need and this is the position he pays very well.

The main thing is this is where he wants to play so if we can get him and another decent midfield player we hopefully should be ok

13.) 07 Aug 2013
So Fellaini is the marque signing Ed Woodward has taken a month to sign. Don't get me wrong he's good on the day but he's hot and cold. Would rather have been surprised with Ronny, Bale or Fab.

I think it will add something to the squad. If we can get Fabregas as well, I will be very happy.

15.) 07 Aug 2013
Just what we need IMO, a tall, strong and a good aerial threat.

16.) 07 Aug 2013
He was always going to be instead of Strootman I think. I just hope Strootman doesn't turn out to be another Witsel. Go to Roma for a year and then become hot property. For Roma to pay what they have for Strootman says it all. They are usually very tight with their cash. I wouldn't completely rule out a move for Mirallas either. He would be a good signing. He would do well as a left forward. Completely tore Liverpool apart last season from that position until Suarez took him out of the game with an ankle stamp. Fellaini, Mirallas & Baines would be £50m well spent. Would still need that creative midfielder mind. Come on MU, let's get Cesc.

Sydney!

Pleasing to the ear, fellaini, will offer a bit of bite,

18.) 07 Aug 2013
Hope not, if that's the standard of player we can now attract, doesn't bode well, he may be adequate by Everton standards, but we aren't Everton.

Still, I suppose the fact we've beaten off the likes of Bayern, Real, Barca, Juve and Shi. why to sign him must mean something right?!lol.

Stinks of desperation.

I can see where some of the posters on here come from when they say Fellaini is not what we need, because the majority (like us all) want to see nothing but the best arrive at OT. Yes Fabregas is the type we crave to fill that gap but its extremely difficult to get that standard of player who everyone wants, funnily enough including the existing employers. BUT being a realist this 'WIG' will be a good addition, he has something that we don't have in the middle and that's power and dominance, as he has proven time again when playing us, we have never been able to contain him and that speaks volumes! Give him a chance and let him prove the Doubters wrong, hopefully.

Syd. I've been saying the same thing for a good few months now. The only thing is I don't think we will sign cesc. Think we might get someone else in jan.

Moyes said yesterday that he hopes a few players to come in by the time we face Wigan so that could mean we've secretly almost finished or have finished deals for Fellaini, Fabregas and Baines?

Everton fan in peace. Fellaini cannot play defensive mid which is why Gibson has been playing there the last two seasons for us. He does not have the positional knowledge required to play there and does not track runners. Look at the first goal we conceded against Leeds in the Carling Cup last season as a prime example. He tends to hold hands with the two central defenders and nod away goal kicks straight into the area that he should be patrolling. His forward passing is also extremely poor (unlike Gibson's).

His best position is ahead of a holding midfielder as some form of advanced presser. If you want to choke teams in the middle and have all your threat coming from the wings (like Everton with Pienaar/Baines Mirallas/Coleman) then he can work in that system. If you want free flowing penetrative football from central midfield then you better hope Cesc changes his mind because Fellaini is not your man.

Peaceful Everton fan, good post. I think MF would play alongside Carrick, maybe even a little further forward rather than behind. Not sure if we'll get him but I like him, physical, useful at set pieces and proven in the PL. Hope we get Cesc too though.
