I don't think Fellaini would be that good a signing at all

I'd question whether he'd even be a regular starter. And as said previously, he'd be a liability in CL games

I'm not saying either/or. There's room for a Fabregas type player as well.

People keep mentioning his disciplinary record but I think he's only been sent off once for Everton. I think he's been sent off 4 times in his career.

Do you think Barca are desperate enough for cash for Luiz to sell Fab (as press have speculated)?

Even despite their spending recently (in the last few years), I cant see with their success and the amount of La Liga money etc they get every season how they can be that desperate for cash myself.

In general CL refs are a lot stronger than EPL ones, so he would get a lot more cards (at least initally) just for this reason.

I would also suspect that opponants in the EPL would play more into Fellani's attitude to be more aggressive BECAUSE he is now playing for Utd.

He got 9 Yellows and no reds last year from 31 matches, which is quite high but depending on when he got them he might not have even got a ban.
 
I reckon im the only LFC supporter who will say this but we may aswell just cash in even if its a rival, There is always players out there who can help any team weather as good or not maybe not so but then look at unknown players sometimes they surprise you and can score 20 goals+.

He is dragging LFC into yet another mess, Great footballer he is but we didnt perform bad with out him anyway i think we won more without him also.

Dont get me wrong untill we know more of this clause we could have made this mess ourselves as our lawyers in the past have been a bunch of muppets.

Plus he may want to go to Arsenal but in honesty there chances of winning Champions League is very low imo.

That feel. :(

I'm going to go against most others and say that Fellaini is the sort of player that United need in their midfield. It's been lacking some real steel in the past few years. I think people underestimate how good a player he is.

Lets face it, he's an improvement on Anderson.

I wonder if he's always had 'Red Devils' in his Twitter bio or is he causing mischief? 'Red Devils' is also the nickname of the Belgian national team. :p

I think he can do a job for us, but only if he's consistent, which remains to be seen.

He would give us a 'steel' that we don't currently have, however this isn't really what we lack against most teams, and more often than not we beat the likes of Stoke, or whoever. He'd be yet another target for RvP's corners, which would be good.

He'll probably be an improvement on Anderson and Cleverley - probably, but Moyes surely can't think 'Rooney out, Fellaini in' is something that can actually happen. Surely not. Different leagues.

I've seen people compare him to Yaya Toure which is just embarrassing. :(

Indeed, they aren't really comparable at all (in quality or style).

[quote="fez, post: 24729355"]I will end David Moyes if the only signing we make this year is an overpriced move for Fellaini. His release clause is 22m odd but I thought that was only till the 1st of august.[/QUOTE]

Yes, apparently Moyes wants to pay less than that (somehow).

Quite possibly, their reported opening bid of €25m is way too low for Chelsea to consider selling anyway.

Yeah good luck with that. I imagine Suarez will keep his mouth shut and get on with the job for the next 12 months, he seems the sort.

I feel the same as it's a world cup year and he doesn't want to put off any potential suitors. But I think we should get rid, before January if possible, if Arsenal stump up £50mill +, I would take it. Remember we sold Torres to Chelsea and moved on, we can do the same with Suarez if it comes to it but I obviously would prefer him at Real.

Thats just another example of a stupidly low bid this summer, not really anything about how they need cash

(Man Utd's stupidly low bid for CF, even though they -should- have loads available for transfers. Same of Chelsea, yet their silly 1st (and 2nd) offers for Rooney, who again must have plenty available)

Someone who is a dirty ****? Yes, it's been a while since Keane left. Certainly due another dirty little ****.
 
Dani Alves made some interesting comments on Fabregas:

Alves explained: "Cesc's is a different case. He has already left here once. He left the club, made a name for himself and then returned. He wasn't at his best at the end of last season but we were all the same.

"Football is a collective sport and you cannot look for scapegoats. If he decides to stay here, I'll be delighted to continue having him as a team-mate. The squad respects him a lot."

He added: "It's up to him what he does, but I think he can bring a lot to this side. The team needs players of Cesc's quality to win trophies."

Interpret that how you will. Video of Moyes when asked about it yesterday (at the end): http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23598578

Things should become clearer either way tomorrow at least.
 
I can picture it now

Charity Shield, both teams start to walk out on the pitch. But hold on, Utd only have 10 players, what the hell is going on? Fans go a bit silent while everyone works out if someones just doing their laces up and is about to run out. And hold on, where's Moyes?!

Then Hulk Hogans music hits

And Moyes rides out on a Harley, onto the pitch with Cesc on the back. Skids into the centre circle tearing up the turf, drops Cesc off who takes his place next to RvP for the kick off.

Meanwhile, the fans are going nuts, and the commentators are going absolutely crazy shouting "We've been duped!! It's been a deal all this time"

Just as he says that, the camera cuts to a close up of Moyes, who puts on a pair of shades, and then a Sky Sports graphic cuts across the bottom of the screen saying "Deal with it". And he rides off into the tunnel

Got a good feeling about this guys
