"I think he's a good signing, but they do need someone *like* Cesc too. United are better with Fellaini but he is not the answer"

This is a Tweet from Miguel Delaney 'who by the way' is adamant our interest in Cesc has not cooled. It's about Fellaini and I kind of share his opinion here. Fellaini is one part of the puzzle, Cesc is the other. We need one brutal and one creative. I do not believe Fellaini is an alternative to Cesc. I think we want both.

Sydney!

I think we are in for both players. It makes perfect sense, given the fact that Scholes retired and Fletcher may be some way off full fitness. The only problem I foresee is how Moyes will rotate the midfield. You would guess that Fabregas would be a regular starter, with Carrick playing beside him. That would mean Fellaini having to rotate. We also have an improved Anderson, who has done enough, IMO, to be given a crack at a regular spot in the first team. That said, I suppose we are going to be playing - on average - three games a week, at most points in the season, so having a highly competitive midfield would allow us to go all out in every competition.

SLred.

The Enforcer role is much easier to fill than the creative part. Both are needed but an Enforcer without a Creator would be a waste of time in my view.

I'd rather get someone like Fellaini now and throw everything we have at Dortmund for Gundogan next summer. He is already as good, if not better, than Fabregas.

Fabregas, Fellaini & Baines on there way and Rooney going nowhere IMO

Just a theory but I think united might play a 4-3-3 next year. A deep lying or box to box physical player like Fellaini, a more advanced creative player like Fabregas and Carrick given a little more freedom to orchestrate things from the centre of the pitch.
