    Sounds like a complicated transfer to get done. Juventus (quite rightly) have slapped a big price tag on the player. United want to shift some unwanted players (Nani, Evra) as part of the deal. If Juventus are open to that, there will be talks with those players about the length of their contracts and the wages.
    Dammit what do you know!!!

    Just to make it clear, I was only making comment on a tabloid story that was doing the rounds. Trying to make sense of it.
    If it is true, then there's two clubs, three players and three agents involved. I would think that would be complicated and take time.
    I'll have an imperious boner if it happens :)

    I get that you won't tell us, but please confirm whether his favoured position is CM or not :(:(:(

    Fairly random game against Arsenal, in his Everton days.
    He's no Vidal. But to say this guy is Championship level, or that he can't play football, is just lazy. And wrong.

    I'll bow out of this debate now.

    Couldn't agree more, this place and everyone in this thread was crying out for fergie to sign him 18 months ago. He's often destroyed us and dominated many a midfield battles in the premiership against many of the top teams.

    People are judging him on a season where Moyes couldn't win an argument with a dummy, the guy was shot of confidence. If this world cup was 24 months ago and Fellani was tearing it up at Everton I'd safely say we'd be saying different. You can't judge a player who has zero confidence.

    He wasn't terrible for belgium he wasn't even the worst player on the pitch, he doesn't fly under the radar due to his afro, but my god there were some shocking performances in the belgium team not least of all his. Hazzard couldn't pass sideways yesterday but again people get brainwashed with the media and fail to come to any conclusion of their own.

    Sorry, but that's wrong on so many levels.

    The Fellaini apologists cite matches that never happened. I don't recall the guy dominating midfield battles. What I do recall is a Tony Cascarino-esque Fellaini bashing people playing just off the striker and getting on the end of long balls during high tempo matches at Goodison Park with the Everton faithful baying for blood.

    Fellaini is a poor player. He has a bad first touch and his control and skills are substandard. I'll freely admit that Moyes is a gent but Fellaini is far from it. He is a nasty dirty player who I don't believe has the character or quality to play for Manchester United.

    I stand by my view that pound for pound (i.e. taking cost into account), he is the worst United signing I've ever seen and one of the worst players I've ever seen. The sooner he's turfed out, the better.

    Personnally I think United should go into preseason with just Herrera and Fletcher to play CM, like a lot of people here seemingly.

    I met someone a few months ago who has met quite a few famous people. They bumped into Graham Hunter. Graham is a good friend of Darren Fletchers and Fletch told him that Moyes lost the dressing room around October. Just something interested to share I thought.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 139 ✭✭HaveASnickers


    He's only managed 4 club sides and has won at least a league title with each one.

    But he has had failures.

    You said he hasn't been a success everywhere. While some of his jobs have ended badly, he has been a success at every club he's managed.

    That youtube clip of Fellaini against Arsenal... A joke?

    If thats the best there is to show his capabilities then thats it.

    Half the time its a simple pass. What does he offer in CM?
    Hes only good in the box at the end of a high ball. - his only good feature.

    It wasn't the best of his capabilities. Go back and read the thread so you know the context before you continue ranting.
