Great post mick1 agreed with everything you said except buying fellaini. Touch of a donkey overrated and over priced. Played well for Everton but like moyes out of his depth at united. Fellaini is too slow on the ball for uniteds traditional high tempo game. IMO panic buy after all main targets turned us down. Please don't call fellaini a great player.

Ngiak wonders how many games in the last 3 years the team played a "high tempo game"?

Major,

Then please don't call Fellaini a panic buy. He was a target all summer and we eventually got him, that's not a panic buy.

Fellaini was bought with minutes to spare and we overpaid to get him. that's a panic buy.If we had landed Fabregas/Herrera there is no chance Fellaini would have been signed
How daft do we look now refusing to meet Herreras buyout and ending up with half the player in Fellaini and ironically paying more than his buyout clause when it expired. great post btw mick!

Major, paying for Fellaini 27 million was a panic buy. We paid more than his worth, but he was a target all along.

And no, we have not been performing well for the last Fergy seasons, but we were playing much, much better football at the time. We wanted Klopp to get a more continental style going, and yet Moyes has taken us a couple of steps back

Fellaini too slow for our 'traditional high tempo game '
How do you explain Carrick then?

Fellaini was certainly a target, but maybe 3rd or 4th choice, we were exploring better options first. He was certainly on the list of targets though.

Fellaini was always a target. It only went to deadline day because Woodward tried to be smart and get him on the cheap.
