I always liked Fellaini, and I think he'll do a good job for us, even if others on here don't.

It'll certainly stop teams from steamrolling over the top of our porous midfield, and I think he's underrated as an actual footballer.

We've been crying out for a hardman in the middle of the park for years, and they don't come much harder than Fellaini. Yet when we get one, people still complain.

No need for him to take time to acclimatise to the premiership either.

Really think he'll become a crowd favourite, as long as supporters don't make him a scapegoat for our rather lacklustre transfer window.

Might not help us in Europe, seeing as we didn't get the creative midfielder in too, but I certainly think he'll make us a stronger force in the league.

Only downside was the farce over his fee, which I just don't understand. Either DM genuinely thought he might be able to get his first choice targets, and have no need for Fellaini, or our CEO has made a hash of things.

Anyway, welcome to Manchester United, Marouane Fellaini. Give everything out on the pitch, and you'll do alright here.

You have hit the nail on the head in this post, spot on mate. I really like Fellaini and think people are harsh about him just because he isn't an Iniesta type player, it is simple to me he is a big guy with the attributes of a very good footballer.

You've got yourselves a grest player in Fellaini, but I don't understand why Manchester United tried getting him on the cheap then paying 4m above buy out clause.
Lost all respect for moyes.
But I wish Fellaini well and he deserves champs league football.
You'll be more impressed than you think once he's settled in.

He's not a Hardiman.hes a person!he is an average player coming from an average team!yes he's strong and has had his moments but so has most players in the premiership!hes good in the air.but if you think he can play tactical football with elite passing and quick movment or set the pace of a game you are very very wrong!players like roy keane could do all this!the chap
cannot even make good tackles or
break down the opposition with interceptions!instead lumps around awkward and clumsy like!gives away stupid free kicks!i don't like him, we were robbed!I just hate his style of play!and I don't like what Moyes is thinking!he won't do anything more defensively than what carrick can do!Carrick actualy is more useful on the ball and is quicker across the field than him, and carrick is slow!he is not a good footballer!

We have got a very creative midfielder in Shinji Kagawa though. Maybe now because we have a good defensive option in Fellaini we can play Kagawa and not worry about getting overun? Fellaini, Carrick and Kagawa I think will be a good balance in midfield.

Oh be quiet Supered you're obviously clueless if you think Fellaini's average.You'll be raving about him in a few weeks.BTW Everton are a good side, we were just lacking a bit of firepower but now we have Lukaku we will do ok this season.Get ready for a trophyless era under dithering Davie!. {Ed007's Note - Everton signed a better player than Fellaini in MCarthy. If you honestly think Fellaini is any better than average it's you that's clueless. I wouldn't have swapped Anderson or even Cleverley for Fellaini, never mind any other Everton player.}
