Heard we're interested in Fellaini, would be very happy to see him at Old Trafford but there's doubt cos Chelsea sees him also as Lampard's replacement. To be frank Fellaini would strengthen our midfield physically and airially by winning high ball which is our weakness. Eds please is there a possibility of we signing him?

Since when has winning a high ball been our weakness?

G.A.G.U.S

Fergie was on tonights match: Everton-Newcastle... Maybe cause of Feallaini

I thought Oscar was the replacement for Lampard

Fellaini is only good if you lump the ball to him

Anyone see Neville's bit on him? He said all you need is someone tight to him apart frm his marker

Pardoe

Yeah Pardoe but that still means your putting 2 men onto him and that opens up the field for the rest of your team.

Dan

More likely he was watching Yohan Cabaye rather than Fellaini.

Can we pull this BS for now. it was here fpor the entire transfer window. I said then that there is no way we would want a player like that and the case still remains.

Look at the team Fergie is putting together. He is CLEARLY not in the market for someone like Fellaini and if he were, do you really think he will compete with the stupid money Everton will be expecting?

We want speed, movement, creativity... we are not going to get it from Fellaini.

MDJ

Or maybe of was there because we are playing Newcastle twice in the next three weeks!

Even more likely he was watching Newcastle as we have them in the cup

Fellaini's favoured position these days seems to be attacking midfield/second striker. With Kagawa, Rooney, Cleverley covering that position I don't think Fellaini will be an option.
Ferguson made a comment a while back saying that he's never played with a holding midfielder and never will. That rules out anyone like Tiote and suggets that Witsel was never seriously considered. He is trying to follow the Barcelona model so Cabaye could be an option (a very good option in my opinion) as a good passer and hard worker. If he isn't able to bring in anyone of that quality next summer, I wouldn't be surprised to see Scholes coaxed into playing for another year.

Felly is quality anyone saying he just a target man is speaking nonsence and obviously only watches one team

G.A.G.US.
Do you watch us play at all? We have no arial threat in our team, it IS our weekness.
If you actually watch us in Europe, the last 2 times we have won the CL, we have had a CDM. When we didn't have one, we got ripped to shreads by Barca.
