Y did we buy Fellaini then?. to add some physical mobility. he has turned out to be the worst signing ever.

No name,

You are naming Fellaini the worst signing ever when he has played 5 games for the club, do you not think this might be a little bit of an overreaction? He is taking some time to settle into his new role and looks a little lost at times but you don't lose the ability overnight, give him a chance, more than 5 games anyway.

I think you will find José Kléberson Pereira, and Eric Daniel Djemba-Djemba were worse.

Kleberson and Djemba Djemba cost a combined £7million.

Fellaini pretty much took up our entire summer budget by the looks of things.

Big difference.

RED_SKY the post did not say value for money it said worst signing.So I believe IANO 1-0 RED_SKY.You may feel Fellaini was the worst signing period but you would be wrong.

Red_sky,

You think Fellaini is United's worst signing ever then?!

IanO / GDS2

Where did I say that? I just pointed out that when the amount is that small, it's a drop in the pond - plenty of teams make small(ish) signings like that, who don't work out and get shipped out.

Fellaini was our big summer signing, and cost almost £30million. He's under the spotlight more as a result.

I thought he had qualities we were crying out for, but so far, I've never seen a slower man in my life. Which is weird, because I'm sure he didn't look like this at Everton. He was never the most mobile but he didn't have the turning circle of a 18-wheeler either.

To add, the 'IanO 1 - 0 Red_sky' comment is part of what's wrong with this site. Too many posters focused on getting 'one up' on other posters. GDS2 for example, if you're the same GDS as last season - you seemed more pleased with the fact that you'd got one over on me, than the fact we actually won the title.

It's a bit weird really. It's an internet message board.

As I took my humble pie last season, I'll be happy to take it again this season. Will you boys be as forthcoming if your optimism doesn't bear fruit this year?
